Hello all,
I'm looking for some advice/help. I'm very interested in buying/building a smaller, more packable camping shotgun. 12ga
I have a Winchester 1300 that I'm not using much, but shorter barrels seem hard to come by at a decent price and the stocks that collapse, I'm not sure that would really cut down the length even with the shorter barrel. (Do they?)
I have two barrels for it now, a 28" "bird" barrel and a 20" smooth bore slug barrel. The 20" is probably short enough but would that handle 00 Buck well?
Also, the rear sight on the slug barrel broke off (not from me)...so my debate is trade it in or fix it up. I'm pretty sure I don't want a pistol grip only gun, so I need something that performs well....there is nothing really wrong with this one, it simply no longer fits what I want/need and it seems I may be able to pick up one that does for what it would cost to fix this one up with trading it in....
Thanks in advance for any help.
