Well I'm a shotgun owner now

[drache]

This arrived in the mail yesterday but I couldn't pick it up until today! Purchased from a member here this is the shotgun that went for "review".

Planned upgrades are Ghost Ring Sights and a side saddle. I'm also looking for a way to mount a flashlight to the front somehow (need ideas).

My dad has been bugging me to paint "Infidel" in arabic (like the shirts) on the buttstock but I'm not so sure of that idea.

Nice. Welcome to the club.

Nice. Front foregrip with integrated flashlight.

ONE WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH. They like a DRUG you just have to have that next shotgun....and welcome!!

I was looking into that but I want to try and keep the "desert camo" complete (having a black frontgrip would throw it off I think ), so I was thinking of a way to mount a flashlight to the mag tube infront of the pump.

A word of advice on side saddle shell holders.

Use some locktight on the screws....

I saw one come completely unhinged (one screw left, it was "dangling") on one fellas shotgun last weekend, and I lost one screw and all the rest were loose on my own shell holder.

This was only after a few hundred rounds of #4.......

Thanks for the update! I was thinking that myself after looking at saddles online and wondering how well they would stay on.

It's not the "big" screws that go through the trigger that get loose, it's the ones that actually hold the shell holder to the plate that come loose..

I've got the perfect upgrade plans for you. Replace the barrel with a 28" tube, and replace the pump assembly and magazine with another 28" tube. throw away that action and install one from Holland and Holland and then replace the stocks with deluxe grade exhibition wood. Then remove all the paint and use traditional bluing and oil. Check out these before and after pics I modified for your thoughts...

Ok, here's the before:

And with a little elbow grease and patiance:.

It would clean it up a bit, right?

Welcome to the shotgun club. It's like a viruse it will spread and multiply. That is just the first of many.

Well found a couple old shotguns out in the shed that belonged to my grandfather (12 gauge 2 3/4) and took the shotgun out to test it. I think I want another one now....

Now it needs some up grades.
