Since I have two suppressors now I figure that mabee I should branch out into other NFA weapons. I thought about putting together a SBR 10/22, but have put that idea on hold for various reasons. So I think a SBS would be a very practical weapon to get. However, I am unsure what type to get.
I like SxS double trigger shotguns. Does anyone own a SBS SxS shotgun? (Or know someone who does.) I would like ejectors, not extractors, for quick reloading, and no external hammers.
I am also open to the idea of a pump SBS. The only Pump shotgun I own is a Ithaca 37, but I handle the Remington 870 and Mossberg 500 every day at work. I tend to like the Mossberg better because the shell elevator remains raised when the action is closed to allow easier reloading, the safety is ambidextrous, and the slide release is in a better position IMHO. The only thing I don't like is that you can't put on an extended magazine tube, but since this will be a SBS, that is a moot point in this case.
If I was going to go the pump gun route I was thinking about getting a Mossberg 500 Persuader. The problem is, I was thinking about getting a 12-14" barrel, but It looks like a person would have to shorten the magazine tube to do so. I was hoping for a straight barrel replacement, but all their guns seem to have nothing smaller than a 6 shot magazine tube, meaning custom work and custom barrels. This is what makes me lean back to the SxS. The SxS is much simpler and allows a more compact package.
/Thanks for any advice you can give.
