I am considering a couple of pump-action shotguns.
I know it's dumb; but I would like a folding stock, 18.5" (min legal) and 8-shot capacity. I figure for this I have to buy a regular stock model and swap out the buttstock (in which case when I figure out it's dumb I can switch back).
My two choices are:
Wincester 1300 defender standard buttstock - only problem is the availability of buttstock/parts - anyone know where I can get a folding or telescoping stock?
Remington 870 - Great parts availability; but comes stock with short mag tube - how hard is it to up the tube capacity to the full 8?
Ultimately, this is for a shotgun that can reside in a small area of the trunk.
Does anyone know of anywhere where one can order folding stocks for the Winchester? Or how hard is it to up the capacity (without sacrificing reliability) on the 870?
thanks,
Battler.
