Stoger coach gun. I bought this last year at a gun show thinking I might try SASS. Trying it at skeet – just for fun and getting used to it – I did very poorly. I guess I'm going to stay with my Rem 1100 for skeet.
Patterning told me why I couldn't anything with the Stoger. At 25 yards the Rt barrel patterns about 5” left, and the left barrel patterns 8” left. The patterns look like modified and full.
Since this is an inexpensive gun I'm looking at a bit of home gunsmithing to help this. I'm thinking of removing the brass pin front sight and trying to install a Big Dot front sight on the left side of the rib. Between the rib and left barrel. This is not drill & tap, rather epoxy or silver solder.
Question; will this hold in place? What epoxy?
2nd I can ream out a bit of the choke on the left barrel, but can I have my reamer at an angle towards the center between the barrels and cause it to throw the pattern more to the right? I'm talking of moving the pattern center 4” to 6” @ 25 yards. ???
