Stupid idea.....just might work!!
« on: July 16, 2003, 02:10:53 PM »
I was just surfing this forum and watching an Outdoor Channel turkey hunting show.....and it hit me. Picture this, a pump shotgun (mossberg for me) with the shortest legal barrel which I think is 18". Have that barrel tapped for choke tubes and put in a x-full choke. Add on an aftermarket handgun grip in place of the standard stock and put a red dot (or a handgun scope for that matter) on top of it.   Look what we've created!!  :eek:  :shock:  A poor mans pump action Thompson Center shotgun. WOOOHOOOOO!!!  Now....put in an IC choke and load it with 3" magnum slugs  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

Gotta go fellas, I got...ummmmm...something I have to....errrrr... do in the shop.  :wink:  :D

Hang on tight and don't flinch! Before trying something like that, be sure to check your local regulations and laws. In some areas you may not be allowed to alter a gun like that and still use it to hunt with.

you had better make real sure you don't get too close to sight/scope. mine's an old wingmaster, still got plenty of recoil.
if you need to add politically to the word correct, it isn't!

Ofcourse, If Alabama would allow red dot scopes on turkey hunting handguns I wouldn't have to go to such extremes. SEEEEE....it's there fault I broke my wrist!! :grin:
