I'm still daydreaming about having a 10ga SBS
I've been half looking for an Ithaca mag 10, but found a Remington SP10 that I really like. It's got all the right pitina, plenty of dings, and IMO would be a perfect blank canvas for an SBS project. Thing is... idk if this thing would cycle with a barrel the length of the forearm. I figure if you go too short, then your SOL. finding another barrel just to cut wouldn't be appealing. So, any idea if this gun would run short? Like 13 inches short... |

For a gas operated gun you may have to enlarge the gas port for it to run, especially with lighter loads

Yes. Most semi auto shotguns are gas operated, but there are others too such as Benelli inertia system and Browning long recoil system. |

Old school tag here.
Deep down on my list is a Browning A5 shorty (12G). I hope it's not more trouble than it's worth... |

In semi auto SBS’s, I’ve got 2 factory HK M1s90’s at 14” and 2x cut down Remington model 11’s (browning A5 copy), at 12.5”. All run just fine.

Didn't they have a factory shorty? Are spare barrels available? I have no idea what kind of gas system is on the SP10 but I know a lot of guys have to open up the port/ports on the 1100 and 1187 guns when they chop them down. Are you going to be shooting full magnum loads? Probably have a bit of leeway with hotter loads.
Either way I say do it so we can all learn what it takes

It's strange, 10ga around here Is one of two categories, dirt cheep because nobody wants it, or unobtainable expensive because who knows why. |

Full send man! Life’s to short to worry about the details.
 I chopped a Ithaca Mag-10 down to 13in, works fine.

Thought I'd seen one on here. That recoil pad doesn't look very soft
