Thinking of SBS’ing a SxS

[cmshoot]

I’ve got a Stevens 530A 12ga side-by-side. It’s in outstanding shape and I got it for free. I was given it in return for helping a buddy out.

Anyways, thinking of paying the $200 and registering it as an SBS, then cutting the barrels down to the forend and reshaping the stock into a pistol grip, ala Mad Max.

Why? Why not!? I have no practical use for it, but always thought they were cool.

To only have $200 in it, I'd be chopping too!

Do it. Life is too short to have boring guns.

i would leave the stock and cut the barrel if you plan on actually shooting it. but don’t let my advice stop you from pursuing your dreams.

also my memory is a little fuzzy...but is stock-less under 18” barrel shotgun a SBS or an AOW? both require a stamp but the AOW stamp is only $5.

Starts life with a stock = SBS
Starts life with pistol grip = AOW


I'm no ATF agent, and I haven't stayed at a Holiday Inn Express either!

Do it. One day I will do the same thing because I always want a double barrel boom stick like that.

I think eventually I’m going to do a SBS with my mossberg Shockwave.

What?

What?

@AtlMedic Has small hands, he can't hold on to that dong grip, he needs a stock!!!

Never had a handy from him, I wouldn’t know about his hand size....

That would be a nice build and as others have said, you would only have the labor and the tax stamp in it!

Labor? 30 seconds on a band saw would do it.

Do it. It’ll turn a fudd turd into a fun toy.

What?

What? The Shockwave is fun and I like it but a stock makes it much more useful

I'm pretty sure that he thought that when you said "SBS" you meant side by side instead of short barreled shotgun?

Fuck it, I’ll do both and weld a second Shockwave on.

That's the spirit!

I knowed what he meant. That gun doesn’t need a stock to be more useful.

I’ve got plenty of useful shotguns, including an SBS Rem870 from Wilson Combat that does have a stock on it. For the SxS, I don’t want useful.......I want cool as fuck ala Mad Max!

Just add an SB tactical brace. Why the hell wouldn't you?
