This may be my first post, but I have a dare-to-be-different project I wish to share.
I picked up an H&R Pardner Pump at a pawn shop for $98. I used to be a proud and stubborn Remington 870 fan, but the price was too good to pass up. I quickly realized it was just a clone, and a rather tough one at that.
I also have had a thing for tactical shotguns, trench brooms, and the like. So I put my Pardner Pump on the slab and started asking around. The first gunsmith I talked to more or less called me an idiot for what I wanted to do(needless to say he didn't nor will he ever get my business), so I decided to hit the internet and see what I could dig up.
I picked up a 2-inch mag extension(looking back I could've gotten a 3-shot mag extension since the barrel is long enough), shell holder for the stock, heat shield, and a remington 870 saddle-style scope mount, for a cheapy Tasco red-dot sight I picked up for cheap enough.
The installation of the mag extension and the shell holder went by flawlessly, but the heatshield required a rather careful hackjob to remove most of the vent rib. This is more of a badass yet cheap HD shotgun instead of a bird gun, anyway.
The Scope mount has turned into a pain in my backside. We're in the process of milling it to fit the slightly wider reciever.
Pictures will be posted once its completed, and I do plan on shooting this thing asap.
