[QUOTE="forindooruseonly, post: 2213988, member: 13718"] Thank you! It's an old Ithaca Flues 12 gauge that I turned into a SBS. Barrels are cut to 11inches, Mechanical Accuracy did a clean job and reinstalled the bead. I had a wood working friend reshape the grip, mostly by whittling away at it till it felt right, then we refinished it. It patterns ok, better than the I expected. The idea that it just spreads shot everyone is just a myth, it patterns about as well as my Mossberg with an 18 inch barrel and cylinder choke. The thing is a handful when fired and has taken some practice to be able to hit anything with it. It's so short that you just don't have the visual reference when shooting from the hip, making it really easy to shoot high or low. It would be ugly in a hallway, but for anything serious I'd rather have a pump shotgun. Fun novelty though! [/QUOTE]
