Hello all,
I am not much of a shotgun guy, but I love my milsurps and oldschool wood n' metal shotties.
A friend of mine brought up that back in the day, in the WWII era, it was popular to cut down, re-bead and even re-choke semi auto shotguns...HOWEVER, they had to be recoil operated as the gas operated ones would not work if cut down.
A long time ago I owned a cut-down Remington 11-48, and I loved it. Sadly I sold it, and since then I have been wanting to get another recoil operated shotgun for skeet/bush work.
Thus, I'd like your help to compile a list of semi-auto shotguns that are recoil operated, (or a gas op one that can be shortened to legal limits without loosing it's semi auto functionality), and rough price-point.
I'd like only to make a list of 12 gauge, 2 3/4" (12X70mm), or larger (3" etc)
Thanks, and I'm curious as to what models people come up with!
