Allow me to be the first to say there is a special place in hell reserved for people who chop up perfectly good shotguns. A well made double shotgun is a thing of beauty. A hacked up "coach gun" is an abomination. Turning one into the other is stupid. If you want a coach gun, buy a coach gun. You'll be happier.

Dudenal, you're so not getting the point ...
. These are specialty/niche weapons, so one uses what one can get a hold of as the doner SXS.
Below is a pic of what was once a mediocre 20ga Stevens 311H SXS with 28" tubes. Forgot what "Uncle Bob" bought it for back in the '80s. Regardless, he hardly shot it, and I never really cared for it as a upland bird snuffer.
One beautiful $200 tax stamp later, however, and it was converted into an awesome post-apocalyptic Mad-Max blaster, which it excels at majorly with its now-shortened (8.5") tubes and Bisley-shaped pistol grip.
Did I mention how cooly awesome it is?
Get a SXS, submit the F-1, pay the tax, then build it.
You can thank me later ...
