Truck gun Mod (pics)

I recently saw a thread where a guy cut down a single shot 12 gauge NEF shotgun to make the ultimate cheap truck gun. I had an old 20 gauge Mossberg laying around that my cousin gave me a while back that I figured would make a great truck/beater gun.

So, I cut the barrel down to 20" (gives me room if I screw up anything) cut an inch off the stock and then re-attached the rubber butt pad, cut down the butt pad to fit the freshly cut stock. I am going to use a Hiviz snap on front sight rather than a bead to keep from having to drill and tap. I am also going to ream it out and tap it for screw in chokes which I will keep in the hollow area of the butt.

I know the rubber pad don't look so great, but I did it with a dremel and it will sit behind my seat, it don't need to be perfect just functional.

EDIT: The letters there are some kind of pawn code I think, but my cousin got it like that and I just haven't cleaned it off yet.

I like it. Ugly and mean. The way a truck gun/trunk gun/barn gun/shop gun needs to be.

Damn straight. Have you shot it since the surgery?

How did you cut it down?

No, been to busy at work. But it will accompany me next outing, and then everywhere my truck is.

How did you cut it down?

I wrapped the barrel in masking tape then outlined it with a dremel cutting wheel and used the small outline as a guide for the hack saw. I did the same thing with the stock, used a cutting wheel to make an outline for my blade to follow then just took a saw to it and cut it off.

I should add, the only money I have in this gun at the moment, it the $5 shotshell holder. When I am done, I will have the Hiviz sight on it and choke tubes which will bring the cost up.
