18.5" barrel shotgun

<< < (2/2)

OK - I looked at the Chainsaw.... 
The pistol grip plus the 18.5" bbl may have something to do with the way it was handled....

In my case, since my 'other' 20 gauge wandered off to Texas with my son, I needed to replace it.

The 'Defender' came with synthetic stock and 2 bbls - 1 choke (Mod.)  Cost was in the $325 range IIRC..

What I have done is rig up the syn. stock and 28" bbl as one gun... 
I took the 18.5 bbl and put it on a 'youth' stocked 20 ga. I had.  It is now quite short overall and very maneuverable in close quarters.

An 18.5 bbl could be had for around $150.00 in either 12 or 20 ga.

And the minimum overall length of the shotgun or rifle has to be 26" or greater, unless it is registered as a pistol.

I can't even find that package at Cabellas.  Was it a rifled 18.5? Or a standard short barrel?
