Religious Shooter Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 My local Walmart has no 12 gauge value packs. The only value packs they have is 20 gauge. I have 12 gauge 1100's, an 870 and an M2. Is it possible to swap the barrel, bolt and tube and be able to shoot 16 or 20 gauge with any of these guns?

Flatland Shooter Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Even if it could be done, it would be cost prohibitive. Plenty of onsite vendors still offer 12 ga at reasonable prices. Check out Brownells for Remington Gun Club 12 ga shells. They delivered several cases to me last week. Still shows to be in stock. No hazmat on loaded shells.

Religious Shooter Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Just wondering if it could be done. I ordered 250 shells of the Gun Club from Midway about a week ago. They were limiting the # you could buy. And now they are out of stock. I just went and ordered another 10 boxes from Brownells. Thanks for the heads up. The 500 should last me 2-3 months. Hopefully the Walmart will get in stock by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamoShooter Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I don't remember who made them But they were called "Companions" used in over and under like a Sub gauge tube set. The Tube sets are full barrel length and have a screw in choke. You could have your nice ballanced 12 gauge and drop in tubes and shoot the gun gauge event is 20 28 and 410 I have a full set for my wifes gun Well the Companion set was short just about 8" long that set in the 12 gauge chamber . Never heard of a set for an auto though. I have a very nice 28 gauge Skeet model if you get an itch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_pinto Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Briley makes the companions which are full length tubes. The ones I believe Mr Foote is referring to are the side-kicks. There was a company that did make a chamber restricter for autos but only for single loading. Jamie and the other posters are correct that it would cost more to change yours over than to pick up another 20ga. I am finding the opposite down here in that everywhere has 12ga but no 20. Once everyone comes to their senses, or runs out of money, things will be all good. Already starting to see it lighten up a bit. Hang tight.
