Shotgun purists look away.
« on: January 17, 2011, 09:57:59 AM »
Hi All

Well I have been sitting on doing this for a while now:





Dont worry it is over 26" overall and the barrel is over 18"

I had a few 20 gauges so I took one and made this mushroom gun.

The buttplate is made from canvas micarta.  I also put an Uncle Mike's sling swivel on it.

Cant wait to shoot it.

Anyways just sharing

Modern version of the 'canoe gun'; so, still 'traditional'.

 The sling looks like the one they sell for the tactical rifles, nylon 1" strap.

 After looking at the gun again, I am curious about the rear sling stud. Does that put a little bruise if you are not wearing a coat?

Hi
I made the sling myself from webbing

This is not meant to be shoulder fired so the stud doesnt touch me

You did a good job on that.
I did a similar one about 20 years ago. A handy little gun for walking in the woods and removing snakes. It was fun to shoot also.
About five years ago I sold the barrel and sent the receiver to H&R for a huntsman barrel.

I will probably make another short gun again one day.

kid......
say you are just  going on a hike.....
what  load do you choose??

what loads do you use for different purposes

bad dogs or bad people would be my main concern
maybe a rabid coon  or snake would be another concern

i think my choice would be  #4 buck

Hi

I kind of planned this gun around foraging for food only.

It will be stored in my pack while I carry my bolt action Savage Scout rifle as primary

Now if I can just lose some weight so I am not just a couch commando  :o

the forageing thing  is part of the reason  i said #4  over 00  or 000

6..5..4..birdshot for foraging

try foraging on week ends....the weight  WILL  come off

also  should your fireing pin [etc]  break on the savage...you have a back up gun
