Ok, I don't have any pictures drawn up yet but I thought I would post an idea I had on a shotgun to see if anyone would share an interest.
See if you can picture this...
It would be a bullpup, pump-action, tube fed, shotgun with the following features and characteristics.
-Options would be 20" 8 shot version or an 18" 6 shot version. 2 3/4" or 3" shells could be used.
-Magazine tube would actually be located above the barrel along with the hinged loading gate which would close rather securly to prevent nausiating gases from entering the users nose.
-Shells would be cycled just like a standard pump but they would be drawn down into the chamber and ejected from the bottom of the weapon.
-Trigger linkage would be smooth and consistant, made from a solid construction.
-Sights would have a few options. A standard bead sight would be securely mounted onto the end of the magazine tube also I standard picatinny rail could be mounted from the reciever and stradly the magazine tube (similar to the P90 sight.)
-The forend itself would be interchangable with any 870 forend although the way in which it was mounted would be slightly different.
-I have also thought of maybe a removable magazine tube similar to that of Zeus paintball gun.

For those of you who aren't familiar it works very much like a P90. The user would simpy reach the reciever end of the magazine tube and press ambidextrious release tabs to free the tube. Then the user would simply lift the tube up and slide it toward the rear of the weapon until it was fully removed.

Overall, the design would be based on a typical pump shotgun action but it would not be a "stock" that you simply insert an existing action into like virtually every other design.
Is this a dumb idea? Any takers?
