The Smith & Wesson Model 3000 is a pump-action shotgun offered by Smith & Wesson during the 1970s and 1980s. The shotguns were manufactured in Japan by Howa Machinery.
== History == The Model 3000 was available in 12 and 20 gauge, chambering 2+3⁄4 or 3 in (70 or 76 mm) shotshells. A "slug gun" variant chambered for 2+3⁄4-inch shells with a magazine extension and a shorter barrel was offered in 12 gauge only, with optional open sights. Sportsman and tactical versions were produced; the tactical versions were used by some American police departments. Like the semi-automatic Model 1000 that was offered during the same era, the Model 3000 was sold for a short time by Mossberg after it was discontinued by Smith & Wesson.
