Recently purchased a combat style shotgun (based on Remington 870 pump) from Scattergun Technologies with an 18" barrel, primarily for home defence. Plan on acquiring a 26" barrel to interchange with the existing barrel when I occasionally go hunting / trap shooting.
Please provide recommendations (or locations of previous threads or web pages) on what specific product or brand I should purchase for the following "support" equipment. My searches on this forum where unsuccessful (is there a knowledge base on this forum?). I am able to afford somewhat more expensive equipment if it is really worth it.
A. Rigid case with pick proof lock (assuming that rigid is better than a soft case)? I assume it should also pass federal transportation rules?
B. Cleaning kit. Friend at work suggested a very rigid cleaning rod for a shotgun, but nothing more specific. Hopefully this kit would include all the necessary patches, brushes and fluids. Willing to buy seperates to make up a kit, if required. All ready have a Tuf-Cloth for my knives.
C. Hearing protection (for occasional trap shooting).
Thanks for your consideration.
