Well I got my stamp back on 15JAN. Hate to admit it but I had not done anything to prepare for this. Took the shotty in to my buddy's place and got it engraved. Went back the next day and got the barrels cut down.
Ran some birdshot thru it just because that is what I had. Less weight makes it feel like it kicks more.
Still do not have a good second stock to play with so it stays like this for now. Plan to put a gold bead on it just because. Once I find a workable stock I will get it duracoted.
But here is the work up to this point:
Those look nice... did you keep the double with the full stock because of recoil or looks?
Having said that, I have seen a nice SxS like mine where the owner left the stock but shortened it some and shaped and reattached the pad. It looked very nice and a bit more proportional - shorter at both ends.
Are the Aguila mini-shells worth anything more than making noise? Never shot them, never looked into them. Figured they were just a novelty like all the strange shotshells you find at the 1500.
I think that I will grab some 00 buck and try it out just because. I agree that pistol only is gonna be a handful.
Oh and your pic isn't showing up on my pute.
