I'd be very surprised if there is such a thing. Shotguns are not legal combat weapons and those purchased by the U.S.military would have been purchased whole.

Please advise us if you made that up yourself or you heard it from someone's boyfriends cousins uncle.
While parts have dried up in recent years due to collectors, the military bought TONS of spare and replacement parts. I have owned MANY. New in wrap.
And shotguns are certainly "LEGAL" combat weapons. They have been used in wars since the Philippine and Mexican excursions, and are used in combat today.

US purchased quite a few models of Shotguns,

and had TM's for them, as well as repair parts in the system ,

OK...that’s officially the most ludicrous thing I’ve heard today.

I’ve carried a Benelli M4 in combat several times.

He is from Canada so, you know...

Anyone have a FM/TM or parts list that might help answer my question?

[Keydet92]

Possibly SB 9-117 “Repair and Replacement of Parts for Commercial Shotguns”

I couldn’t find anything in TM 9-2117 or TM 9-285 that listed specific NSNs or supply part numbers.

If you post some pictures I’m sure someone here can tell you what shotgun it’s for.

[M1Garandy]

I may be able to post pics, but other than seeing the yellowed label, they are still wrapped in cheesecloth and cosmoline so there isn't much else to see I'm afraid.

Update, a fellow on another forum ID'd these as P/N B009-73-10579 for the Remington Model 11 per a 50's vintage ORD SNL.
