Envision a CNC machined high strength alloy receiver for shotguns, there would be a version for the Mossberg 500, FN SLP, Remington 870, and Remington 1100 series.
This is a receiver designed to provide a more modern shotgun platform for tactical shooters, competitors, military and law enforcement. It has modern lines (think the billet lowers for AR15s, very sci-fi in a way), and features:
-Flattop MIL-STD-1913 rail machined directly into the top of the receiver and extended 6" beyond the receiver over the barrel (a reverse-cantilever design). This would be very similar to the flattop rail of an A4 configuration AR15, but with the extension that goes past the receiver. [in order to achieve this and clear the barrel the receiver, integral rail included, would be a little under a centimeter taller than a standard factory receiver].
-Ambi QD sling mounting cups positioned near the rear of the receiver on both sides of the gun.
-Two piece (870 and 500) or one piece (1100, SLP) 8 or 10 round magazine tube with integral (machined in) MIL-STD-1913 rails on the end of the magazine tube nearest the muzzle (positioned so as not to impede cycling the pump, etc.). Includes machined ambi QD sling cups.
-Forward iron sight rail that is attaches to the magazine tube and wraps around the barrel, positioning it in the expected place (this allows for the use of rail mount BUIS without modifying the barrel of the shotgun in any way).
-Optional mix and matching of stocks (you could order an FN SLP receiver drilled and tapped for Remington 870 stocks, thus greatly expanding your customization options).
-Bypasses 922r restrictions on imported firearms, the new receiver is technically the gun, just drop in your foreign bolt, barrel, gas system/recoil system/buffer, etc. and use all the 'evil' components you want.
-Easily installed by anyone who can fully strip their firearm, does not require any special equipment.
This would be considered a firearm and would be a serialized part, it would have to go through an FFL. Legally your shotgun would no longer be the make/model that it was, it would be the make model that was engraved on the new receiver.
I am asking THR this because shotgun receivers are relatively simple and I don't think anyone has tried to make a modernized version of the common shotgun receivers. I believe there is a market for them in the tactical community. I have design drawings for the 870 version of the receiver that I will post shortly. I may one day raise capital and begin production of these receivers if my test marketing goes well.
