Just wanted to say I really enjoyed this topic post, and the videos. Great idea. Gonna have to keep my eye open for a single shot 12 gauge.
 
my attempt

hello everyone...
about 9 months ago I found this thread and was very impressed with xj Darrell's project as well as the others as this thread grew.
I was inspired...
so here is my contribution to the thread.
Winchester/Cooey 840 12 gauge
apart from the chopping, cutting, shaping, sanding and 3 coats of Linseed oil, this is what I have added.
cut out a little space in the butt and installed a Lee Enfield No.4 sling swivel, tactical sling and a homemade velcro attached shotshell carrier.

My CIL model 402 just arrived in the mail, barrel will be cut down tomorrow after work and we'll see if I want to pistol grip it after that.
Pretty excited, my first foray into gun bubba-ry.

B/c these are not milsurps and are often based on already-rough shotties :wave: , we can probably get-away with doing these conversions without feeling too guilty.....:yingyang:....though there is a fair bit of Canadiana here that we ought to give a fair bit of a berth....:canadaFlag:


I've only had an "already-modified" Cooey go under Bubba's "knife".....;).....well, that and a CBC (Brazilian copy of Remington) single-shot.....:p

What type hacksaw blades are you guys using?

Bought 18 teeth/inch Bi-Metal blades, the father inlaw told me I was crazy to attempt anything under 32...

You are crazy, you should be using a 32 tooth blade. If you do not know anything about hack saws do some research. For a hack saw to cut properly you must have a minimum of 2-3 teeth in contact with the work for it to cut and not make a mess. especially when you get to 2 contact surfaces cutting through the tube.

Use a tube or pipe cutter or take it to a smith to put in a lathe.

*Oh P.S. maybe you should start listening to your father in-law, he obviously knows better than you.

What does this thread have to do with "Hunting and Sporting Shotguns"??
If you want to be "Hacksaw ready" go to the Black and Blue Shotgun Forum. These guy's are experts at "quality" hack work.

And you don't need to notify CFC about these changes.

Here's an official list of what has to be reported to CFC:

- any modification to the firearm that affects its classification (non-restricted, restricted, prohibited);
- any modification that results in the firearm ceasing to be a firearm;
- any change to a frame or receiver that allows it to discharge ammunition;
- any modification in the type, action, calibre or gauge of the firearm; and
- any modifcation to an altered automatic firearm.

His barrel is 18" and his over all length is about 26 1/2"

The Law puts a limit on size and he is just at/ above that limit.
