I have seen a greener police shotgun*spelling?* it was basically a martini action that shoots 12 g 2 3/4 shells . Does anyone know if 350$ is a good deal and how often do you see them. Any helpful info would be great!. Also why were they made and hows the kick ?.
Greener shotguns ?.

They originally used a special 14 gauge round that has a weird ring groove in the base of the shell. It needs this ring, because the firing pin has two extra prongs that extend out also.
I dont know if $350 is a good price now, but I got mine at a gunshow two or threee years ago for $200. He was asking $250.

I have a greener police martini action that I,m installing a rifled 12 gauge barrel on . I,m planning on turning it into a replica of a victorian era 12 bore rifle, I,ll post pictures when it,s done ( could be a while , ha ). As to recoil , I had an old greener sporting martini in 16 gauge , felt recoil was about the same as any single shot light weight shotgun , a bit thumpy. If we're looking at the same gun, the full length stock will add some weight up front and help with the recoil. These guns also have a safety which (I think ) is an improvement over the military actions. If its in good shape 350 seems to be quite reasonable for unique piece of firearms history
I had one of them, the one I had was in 12 gauge 2 3/4" chamber.
Condition is everything. They range from like new to very discoloured. In nice cosmetic shape, should be worth that.
BTW, make sure the action actually works and will fire a shell if you can.
