Sawed off shotguns are very effective in home protection. In this file I will mostly cover the
|
|
Mossberg 500 12 Gauge Pump Shotgun, and the New England 20 Gauge Break Away Single Shot Shotgun.
|
|
This file will mostly focus on making your shotgun look mean, dirty, and evil. While also making
|
|
the spread pattern way more than it should be.
|
|
|
|
What a Sawed Off Shotgun does:
|
|
|
|
With Shotguns, longer barrels keep the Shot together for a longer period of time. Every so many
|
|
feet, the pellets spread apart. So, say you shoot a regular shotgun at a piece of metal 5 feet
|
|
away, it will blow a direct hole in the metal. This is because the pellets (shot) are together.
|
|
So, walk back about 50 feet away from the piece of metal, and shoot the same place, Its not going
|
|
to make the same hole, its going to leave little tiny holes all around it..See?
|
|
|
|
With a shorter barrel, the pellets spread apart much faster, this means that if you are standing
|
|
say 10 feet away from the piece of metal, the pellets will spread the same as it would 50 feet
|
|
away with a regular shotgun.
|
|
|
|
What is the advantage? Home Protection. Example: You are in bed, you hear a robber. Its 3am, and
|
|
you can barely see because of the Sand Man. You grab your sawed off shotgun go into the living
|
|
room, its compleatly dark you see minor movement, and you shoot the gun, but the gun barrel is
|
|
aimed 5 feet away from him. Doesn't matter, you hit him anyway.

Mossberg 500 12 Gauge Pump Action Shotgun
|
|
|
|
You need a:
|
|
|
|
Mossberg 500 ($180)
|
|
Heat Shield ($18)
|
|
Pistol Grip ($10)
|
|
|
|
Go buy your Mossberg 500..When you get home, take the barrel off, and take out the wooden plug
|
|
that is in the Magazine, then throw it away, it is useless. Taking out the wooden plug may appear hard,
|
|
but is actually very simple, just start sticking shotgun shells in the gun, and the plug will pop out the
|
|
top.
|
|
|
|
You should then follow the instructions provided in your gun manual, and disassemble the gun, and
|
|
take the magazine out, and take the Forearm off. Once you have the Forearm off, hold it in your
|
|
hand, and cut it from the top with a hacksaw to fit your hand. This will shorten the forearm to
|
|
make it lighter, smaller, and easier to handle.
|
|
|
|
Put your shotgun back together with the cut forearm. put the barrel back on. Now, where your
|
|
magazine ends, this is where you are going to saw off your barrel. while your barrel is on the
|
|
shotgun, mark it with chalk, or with the hacksaw. Now take your barrel off, put it in a vice or
|
|
something, and saw it off compleatly Flush. When you are done sawing off the barrel, sand down
|
|
the end of it, especially the inside as much as you can. Make sure that it is perfectly smooth.
|
|
Put the barrel back on.
|
|
|
|
Now take your Heat Shield, and attach it to your shotgun.
|
|
|
|
Next, take a screwdriver, and take the buttplate off of the back of the stock. Then get your
|
|
socket, and rachet set out, with a long extension, and try to get the correct fitting (1/2 inch).
|
|
Unbolt the stock. When the stock is off, bolt your new Pistol Grip onto the gun. Sorry, you can't
|
|
saw off new Mossberg Stocks, the bolt is pretty long, so if you tried to saw it to a pistol grip,
|
|
you would just end up cutting through the bolt, then everything would just fall apart.
|
|
|
|
THERE, your done with your new Sawed Off Scatter Gun. Easy huh? oh, by the way, now that you have
|
|
done it, I guess I should tell you its a federal offense to own a shotgun with the barrel length
|
|
shorter than 18.5 inches. Maybe I should have told you that before you actually did it. eh huh
|
|
huh huh huh....Dumbass...eh huh huh huh

New England 20 Gauge
|
|
|
|
You need a:
|
|
New England 20 Gauge Single Shot Shotgun ($90)
|
|
A bolt that will fit the stock (50 cents to $1.00)
|
|
|
|
This is just way too simple. The New England 20 Gauge Break Away Single Shot Shotgun only
|
|
requires two things really: Sawing, and bolting.
|
|
|
|
Take your 20 Gauge, and mark the barrel where the wood grip on the bottom ends. Take a
|
|
screwdriver, unscrew the grip, break the shotgun, and pull it apart. Saw the barrel where you
|
|
marked it, and sandpaper it up real good. Make sure you leave it VERY smooth! Put it back
|
|
together.
|
|
|
|
Now, unbolt the stock, goto the nearest hardware store, and get a bolt with the exact same size
|
|
and threads, but get it shorter. Now, go back home, saw your stock to a pistol grip, and put the
|
|
new bolt in it. You should now sandpaper the edges to make is smoother on your hand.
|
|
|
|
Now you have this problem of getting the bolt nice and tight. The pistol grip will be somewhat loose,
|
|
so you need to put as much time as you can into getting it tight. So, simply use some JB Weld, and
|
|
put it underneath where the pistolgrip, and the shotgun go together. JB Weld is very good stuff to
|
|
work with, because as it dries, it turns into a puddy first. So you are able to make it look nice.
|
|
Once it it nice and tight, you may as well JB weld over where the bolt is sticking out. Simply
|
|
place a bunch of JB Weld over the bolt, and form it to a roundish shape. It's pretty easy to do,
|
|
and looks nice in the end.
|
|
|
|
If you tighten the bolt too much, then it will get under the Hammer of the gun, so the hammer
|
|
will not cock back all the way. Which is very dangerous, so dry fire it, and make sure that the
|
|
hammer cocks back, and sticks. If the bolt is too tight, the hammer will not lock back, which is
|
|
no problem, it just means you need to loosen the bolt, or get a smaller bolt. The dangerous part
|
|
about this is: If you do not test it, then you will be outside getting ready to shoot, and when
|
|
you cock the hammer back, since it won't lock, it will slip out of your thumb and fire without
|
|
you pulling the trigger.
