    I never said anything about cutting it down below legality...

    How severe would this crosseyed shooting be exactly, with a cut down barrel? At what distance would you be completely missing the target?

    I am assuming a short barreled shotgun is meant for close encounters anyway...

    If you're shooting shot, you'll likely never tell the difference. Slugs however, forget about any form of accurate shooting unless really close.

    My dad has a coachgun in .410. Absolutely useless with slugs. The slugs cross their line of sight at only 10-15 yards out.

    I doubt these inexpensive coach guns would be any more accurate than a cut down longer barreled gun.

    .410 slug...

    Just curious Woodsman, what would you be shooting with a slug from a .410, anyway? Don't know about all jurisdictions but where I grew up any slug under 28 ga, was illegal.

    I meant 20ga.

    Good for yotes and such at fairly close ranges
    I still have some slugs for my old 410 i sold to a buddy's kid. They were fun to play with.

    Not allowed for deer here in Quebec, but for varmints anything goes.
