Nice and a cool collection of Gas Lanterns..
Thank you, shafter.
Here's another angle; I was going to put this in the first post:

I've thought about doing this to an old Hercules (Montgomery ward) single 12 but it already kicks like a cranked up mule, it hurts to just think about a chopped version.

Put on a recoil pad or a slip on pad and Save you shoulder.

I followed Macchina's lead once again and purchased a for-wood-stock Remington Supercell recoil pad online... but the pad is too small.
I may head on down to the lgs for a slip-on pad so I can shoot full-power 00 buck with this thing again, until I find the appropriate-fit screw-on pad. Reduced-recoil stuff doesn't hurt, but I'd like to wield some pwn0rship with regular buck!

No. Where did you come up with this?

A "Limbsaver" recoil pad would be ideal, for just about any hi-power shotgun load.

Balance
It has felt fine... but since you ask, I wanted to see where the balance point was, just because. The barrel is fairly thick-walled, say, compared to a Remington pump barrel. Could be the engineering dictated it in light of the alloy used. Who knows.
But it's front-heavy! and still handles nicely.
Not quite! touching the trigger guard...
I ran over to my lgs right after my last post and snagged this Limbsaver. I was lucky; it was the last one in stock, in any size. 10 days later, they're still out of stock, and I haven't had a chance to go shoot it yet! :-|
Anything! will be better than the hard-rubber/nearly-metal butt plate that was on the gun when I shot it last. 1600 fps rifled lead slugs made me make noises. The reduced-recoil stuff wasn't painful. Just the standard-power buck (1325 fps) and those damned Win X slugs. yeehawww!
I had ordered a Remington Supercell screw-on pad, but as you can see the H&R's buttstock cross section is larger. I used the H&R stock plate to draw this outline:
I'll throw this Supercell pad on my HD Wingmaster.
I'm pleased that you fellrz! have shown any continued interest in this gun. It's a great piece! Still need to get a buttstock sidesaddle...
Oh! I snapped this pic with one of my (rare-in-the-U.S.) Coleman kerosene-calibrated single-mantle lanterns running for you guys; it's a Model 249.

Tardy Update...
.
I don't see that I mentioned this here in this thread, but I picked up a 20 gauge H&R a month or two after I chopped this 12 ga.
mio mentioned earlier in the thread that he'd have left the 12 ga barrel length alone. I think I'll leave the 28" 20-ga barrel be. It's just a classic example of this type of gun.

I got my 20 cut down but I have not around to getting a new front site or recoil pad on it yet.

Background:
1947 Harrington & Richardson Topper M48, 30" full choke. Handy gun. Decided not to cut it.
Foreground:
1969 Harrington & Richardson Topper 158, formerly 30" full choke, now 19.5" cylinder bore. $50 gunstore junk rack special this summer.
I cut it to that length because it is roughly the same length as the stocked receiver.
Going to put a different bead on the end of the cut one.

I have an NEF 12 ga. cut to 18.5", it's light and portable. Kicks hard with high brass shells.

Hope to get my finished once the IRS refund comes in.
