This made me laugh.  Specifically the stock part.  Comments are good to.

Super annoying voice!

I couldn't even make it to the two minute mark before shutting it down.

Wow, what a fucked up pile of electrical taped shit that he turned that nice Mossy into

Yeah, you know you fucked up when the solution to a gun mod becomes electrical tape!

The damn light is worth twice what the gun is.  

This was a much better use of a Mossberg 500:





It ejects business cards when you cycle the action.

I could see getting my nuts jammed in the back tire when I slid off the seat....

You'd have to pedal like a motherfucker to get up on that wheelie bar.

Rough.

I think he did a decent job. Put a flashlight on the forend, added a sling mount, and shortened the stock. The trimmed down rubber on the recoil pad was a little rough looking, but that is just a minor cosmetic detail. His shotgun is now quite a bit more handy for home defense.

If you picked up a used pump shotgun for $200 (not that hard to do), you could do the same mods for another $25 and have a decent utility gun. I don't see why you would ding the guy.

Someone not looking to spend a lot could buy a hunting shotgun, cut down the barrel themselves, cold blue the end, and do mods like this guy and have a serviceable piece.

FYI: when you trim down a rubber recoil pad, a belt sander does a neat job if you are careful, and even hand sanding with a block will do a tolerable job.

Oh ok, so you're one of the InlandEmpireDudes.

I've always hated how long most shotgun stocks are, so I can understand shortening the stock.  I've done it on a couple of 870's, but those are wood stocked and I did a little nicer job.
Youth stocks are generally perfect for home defense, but they're also $50 you could spend on beer money.
