Mine was near worthless until I had it threaded; I keep an improved tube in it and it works well for shooting things from the tractor seat or rabbit hunting which are two of the main reasons I have it. That said, depending on which type of front sight you buy, some of them index off the bead, some epoxy onto the bead or you silver solder or epoxy the sight on. There are some styles that use a band/clamp style but I've never messed with any of them.

This thing is a beater with a bad finish. I hadn't planned to do anything with it at all until I was inspired by this thread. Thanks for the reply Changed your mind yet? I didn't have any plans other than shortening mine up either but once I realized how handy it was I sent the barrel off and had it threaded (I think the guy was charging like $65 for forum members* and he had it back to me the same week). Surprisingly, it quickly became one of my favorite guns just because of the light weight, how well it carries in the field, especially while rabbit hunting in tight brush, and the ability to handle various loads depending on what I'm doing, etc. Even though it's "only" a 20ga, it still thumps pretty hard with 3" buck or slugs due to the light weight (I put Choate furniture on it to lighten it and the buttstock came with a buttpad and sling studs, it balances a little better and makes it a little more weather resistant; I also Duracoated it in some leftover HK Black I had- HK in the name had to double the value right? ). I wish someone would make mini shells for the 20ga (and actually make them available); I really just need to buy a 20ga Lee Loader and roll my own. I'll be the first to admit that I really wasn't expecting to like it as much as I do. *Shotgunworld (Mike Orlen; no relation, just a satisfied customer) but Rose Action gives arfcom members a discount too. |

Now you are going to make me go drag my NEF Handi Rifle out of the closet and look at that slug barrel again. When I bought the rifle I sent it back for a .223 bull barrel and a 12 gauge rifled slug barrel with iron sights and chambered for 3-inch shells. I put a box of birdshot through it and put it up. Might be an interesting project.

I kick myself for not buying at least one rifle and a handful of barrels when the barrels were like $50 from the factory- the .357 barrels for the shotguns are now apparently worth their weight in gold.

The budget breacher. Kept the barrel over 18" and OAL over 26" so I dont have to pay for a stamp that is twice the cost of the shotgun.

I recently picked up a Stevens model 94 in 16 gauge that I like a lot, But I'd like to find a chamber adapter from 16 to 28 gauge for it since 28 gauge ammo is always on the shelves here.
That particular adapter doesn't seem to be produced yet though. |

My sample in the old thread.
Stoeger breakdown 12 ga. with 3" chamber. I cut it down for a planned wilderness excursion in British Columbia long ago. The minimum barrel length in Canada then was 18-1/2" so it's 18-3/4. The stock is also shortened about an inch and a half. Attached File |

The Shooters Box is having their black friday sale on their cartridge adapters
Black Friday Sale Black Friday Sales Last All Weekend! Happening right now, enjoy free domestic shipping or 10% off your entire order ALL WEEKEND! Take a look at our new products and special items. We're a leader in chamber/caliber adapters. I have one of their adapters for 9mm that lets me shoot 9mm out of my savage camper special. Here is a shitty picture of a Wards Hercules (serial number dates it to the late 1930s) that I bought for $50 because it was missing a firing pin. I cut it to 19" and installed a big green front bead. The firing pin was a crushing financial blow of about $10 dollars from Numrich Arms. Attached File |
