A great friend and reloading mentor just gave me a classic 60’s 870 20 gauge wingmaster. It had not been fired. It’s problem is the guy that gave to him engraved his S.S. Into the stock. It’s a 28 or 26 inch barrel with a modified choke.
I want a short barreled 20.
I have several other shotguns to serve my needs. I’ve looked into replacement barrels, atleast a little, and they are pricey and don’t come with threaded muzzle jokes.
I was thinking about having it sawed down and threaded with a threaded interchangeable joke, then I realized that I want a improved cylinder on this gun. I might as well go open cylinder if it’s gonna be cheaper and not real different?
I would mainly use this gun for rabbit hunting in thick brush, and carry buckshot occasionally for random hogs and predators. In other words I would like having a loaded shotgun around that’s easy to carry and handle. My long barreled shotguns are a pain to Load, carry and case.
How does my reasoning sound? I would have the work performed my G.S.
