Note to anyone thinking of taking a H&R single shot receiver apart.

Dont!!!!

Damn all mighty putting the hammer spring back in is a PITA!

Worth doing it all myself. Turned out great. Shoots great. Fun gun for sure. Should turn heads wherever I take it and anyone that wants to try it will certainly smile, followed by a possible visit to a physical therapist for wrist issues!

Which choke are you running in it

 

[Wombat of Doom]

Definitely do it again as is, I wanted the barrel as short as feasible, the forend is the only thing hindering it going shorter. It could technically go shorter if I got a smith involved, by relocating the forend nut that is welded onto the barrel. If that got moved back, I could trim the forend even more, then I'd have submitted for even shorter.

At 8-10" this would be better if it had a stock. Which I can still technically do if I want to as it's a registered SBS. Though at 7.5" my barrel might be better suited for one handed volley fire type shooting. Which is exactly what I wanted.

I put a few rounds through it via "hip firing". I put my thumb over the barrel and gripped everything very tightly. As is, it's better to be shot one handed with an extended arm.

Yeah the forend nut is kind of a bummer in location and a limiting factor. I am planning on minishells only if I cut the stock down like yours, which I kinda think I might. My grip shape would likely be slightly different.

That is one thing good about it being an SBS; if for some reason you ever get a bug in your bonnet to add a stock or a different length barrel, good to go. IIRC, parts for those scatterguns are plentiful.

I know. I was looking at the survival stock like I had on the last one. Curious if the barrel and forend can be made to fit inside it.

I think the barrel is too wide. I have one of those survival stocks actually. But maybe a .410 adapter and a .22 adapter or something?

Pick up a few of these for when your wrist tires of 12ga. Rifled Shotgun Adapter - Bug Out Series - Gunadapters.com

I've been looking at a handful of different manufacturers, some are actually longer in length than my barrel! Lol.

In time I'll get a couple for it.

Ya, but I'm curious if I could "make" it fit...

 

[Member 34319]

Bought a stock for it. Put it on, immediately took it off. Hideous. Functional, but just darn ugly.

So now I'm on the hunt for a Stoeger double defense to SBS, but keep the stock.

I'm kind of sick.

 

[CountryGent]

Sick? No, my friend, this is just being wacky. And wacky, in its many forms, is such a delight. Looking forward to seeing your latest Form 1 project.

But with the barrels right up to the forend. Maybe an Eotech on top!
