Sales Description

Smith & Wesson Model 3000 pump-action shotgun chambered in 12 Gauge. Serial number FC53807. Manufactured in Japan by the highly respected Howa Machinery during the early 1980s, the Model 3000 was introduced specifically to compete for law enforcement contracts against the Remington 870. It features a robust forged steel receiver, dual action bars, and an exceptionally smooth, reliable action.

This specific example is set up in the classic "riot gun" configuration with an 18-inch cylinder bore barrel and handsome wood furniture. Condition is Good, exhibiting only very minor cosmetic blemishes consistent with light handling and careful storage. It remains a rock-solid, incredibly well-made pump gun that serves perfectly as a home defense tool or a unique piece of law enforcement history.
