I thought of kind of an odd idea for a shotgun feeding device today. It is actually kind of simple.
Would anybody be interested in a shotgun that was tube fed, but had an attached 2 or 3 round magazine, and a selector that allowed the user to switch between feed systems easily?
Just brainstorming, I would think that this could be handy because you could keep the tube stoked with shot, and have a couple of slugs on hand if desired. Selecting between the mag and the tube would be pretty straight forward and easy to do. When the action was then worked it would feed from the chosen feed device. Kind of like a select slug drill, only already on the gun.
The actual action would be based on the Browning BPS or Ithica bottom ejectors.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not into gimmicks or anything like that, I just wonder if this would be worth it. My shotgun is the same 870 that I've used since I was 12 years old.
