Muh street howitzer - Upgoat - "what's upgoat?"

Thanks mang. $75 shotgun. Cut it down myself at 18 1/2 inches. Might drill and tap for the front bead to relocate to the new “muzzle”. Filled the gap in the front with JB weld and filed and sanded down.

I’m trying to build a “Tombstone” collection. I bought the Wyatt Earp Pistol from the movie, with the 10” barrel. Couldn’t find a new side by side with hammers due to lack of inventory, do I picked up this 30” and cut it down. Next is the pair of Doc Holliday colts. That set I’m gonna buy. It comes with the shoulder rig and a matching numbered rib sticker like in the movie.

E: this shotgun is like a hundred years old. I’ve only fired really light clayloads through it.

18” coach gun with external hammers, nice! Relocating the bead finishes them off. Mine has 3” chambers and slight choke on one side, only thing that will turn a black fella white.

There is something absolutely intimidating about a coach gun. It for some reason screams don't fuck with me.

Mine is 2 3/4 but that’s fine, it’s old. However, I hate to pay someone to drill and tap for the front bead. I have a drill press. Guess I better look into the bit and tap based on a bead I probably buy as I don’t know how to figure the one I have, if I can even extract it properly. What do you think?

Drilling and tapping for the bead isnt that hard. If you are not planning to shoot the thing you might jbweld it in place. Sometimes the originals are sweated (soldered ) in so you might try a light heat on the old barrel to get it out however i wouldnt try putting it back in that way as you might just unsolder the barrels and top strap.

Ooh, that’s good advice. Didn’t even think about the solder aspect. Thanks👍
