Yesterday I picked up my Used/New 20 Ga Uplander SxS! Origonally, I'd planned on cutting the bbl's to 20" and leaving them cylnder bore but the more I handle this little double, the more I find that the extra barrel length isn't that bad!
I also started envisioning how big my first choice (Rem 12 Ga 870 20" bbl) would have been and I realised that I don't have to modify this gun and loose the changeable chokes and I could still have power (3" chambers) and have a fun gun also!
Chances are a burgler would be met with my Model 36 Chief and the Shotgun would be used for longer term sieges. Again, the longer barrels wouldn't hurt.
Secondly, aside from a pure hacksaw job, I
d have to take the gun to a shop and spend another $100 for the barrel chop and chamfer...
Leaving the little Stoger long, is looking more promising every minute.
Do any of you use a standard Hunting Shotgun for Home Defense???
Thanks,
ZVP
