Monte Carlo stock and TrackerII barrel

[JamesIII]

Kinda new at the Handi thing. I purchased a new .223 with a Monte Carlo stock last year, now I am thinking about getting a Tracker II 20 ga. barrel. Will the Monte Carlo stock be to high for the iron sights? If the stock is going to be to high, I think I would probably just buy a complete gun. Thanks, JamesIII

yes they would most likely be to high for you to use the iron sights, you could either buy a complete gun (good decision) or you could just pick up a new or used buttstock and switch them around, it's easy, 2 phillips head screws and one bolt. With a non Monte Carlo stock you can use either iron sights or a scope and some here prefer the non Monte Carlos for this reason, with the Monte Carlo Stock you are usually limited to a scope.  Another option for you is to have the 20 Gauge Tracker II barrel drilled and tapped for a scope rail (I suggest a H&R scope rail) and than add a scope and your Monte Carlo stock would work fine.

Welcome to the Forum, JamesIII. And Andy, have you head any more about the availability of the Brenneke-is that one n or two n's?- in 16ga.? I'm trying to put together an old Topper 158 for slug use. Thanks. Hunman55

it's www.brennekeusa.com for their website and they told me the 16 gauge Classic slugs are in their warehouse but I have not been able to get any in New England yet. I tried the largest place I know, Kittery Trading Post and they did not have any in stock, for some reason would not order them for me, they said they "should" be in in a while....<><....
