Thanx Bobster - - Depot/Lowes have things I've never even heard of (and I've been a DIY homeowner for 35+ years). Based on your recommendation I'll certainly take a close look at this - for the price it may well be worth its price even if just for a 1-time use. :thumbsup:

@ Bobster - -Thanx for the link! Would that I could imitate you! I'll probably just go (albeit carefully) with what I've got on hand. If I'm careful (realizing that 'Murphy's Law' is always in full effect) I have the files and a Dremel to dress up the muzzle and rib after I finish...

@ Caddman - - - I LUV it when someone "thinks outside the box!" All I need to do now is go out and buy that pick-em-up truck. :lol: Ummm.... on 2nd thought maybe I'll just follow John's advice (above) and go with the vise and hacksaw method. Wud love to follow the Bobster's route but...

Hi Back to ya Scoop. . . . Love your area! When we lived in VA we did a LOT of camping up and down the Blue Ridge and on both sides of the Smokies. Have friends over in Marysville.

You're reading my mind John. IF I go ahead with it, that's exactly how I intend to do it. JMM's subsequent reply encompasses x-actly why I'm in a quandary. When I bought it, the pix of it weren't really of good resolution and I sorta expected to be getting a "beater." I didn't expect to get a...

Thanx for the comeback Ernst - I incorporated your thought into my reply to John (see above) - in the end it IS a tool and I'll get that extra 6 inches taken off to see that it fits my need.

Thanx for the welcome Caddman! I spent part of my career behind a desk myself (actually a radio console) having served as a dispatcher for about 3 years early in my career. The guys on the street couldn't 'get 'er done' without the support personnel behind them!!!

Thanx for your welcome and the words of advice. you've got a nice looking gun - set up with a sidesaddle like my former 12 was. I was simply hesitant to 'deface' what was once somebody else's (probably treasured) hunting piece. In the final analysis tho it will be a 'tool' - and I probably...

AHA! Now know 100% more about it than I did when I posted!! Thanks :thumbsup:

Familiar with Palm Harbor!! Spent 7 years with the PC SO, after "retirement" from my original dept. Ser #: C22462XX Any info gratefully rcv'd.

Thanx Ol' Mossy - - When I said I moved here from the SE U.S. to be more specific about it - - - we actually moved here from St. Pete. !! Hope you are avoiding any of the "tropical storm" currently coming up the Gulf!

Hello to all - - A gently-aged "senior" guy checking in. :oldman: I'm a retired career LEO recently re-located from the SE U.S. to the Pacific NW, to be nearer family. I'm not new to scatter guns, having used 12 gaugers most of my career (Rem 870's & Winch 1200's - but NO Mossbergs). Until...
