So, I've got an interest to add a semi-automatic, home defense—oriented, scattergun to the mix. Anywho, I am curious for recommendations to achieve:
- Semi-automatic.
- Older or newer design, doesn't really matter.
- Preferably in 12-gauge, though 20 would be more than fine. For this one, no .410-bore. As gonzo as a 10 would be, that would be severely limiting, so probably not.
- A magazine capacity of at least 5 + 1. More is better, but the aforementioned is good to go.
- Could go either way with tube magazine or detachable box magazine fed. I'd lean toward the former though.
- A short barrel. I am heavily leaning towards SBSing this one to 14"-ish and/or cut back to magazine tube barrel length. Though a standard 18" would work. (If SBS, looking to Form 1ing this one as eForms would be quick enough. Paper Form 4 ridiculous waits might conflict with some life plans.)
- A fixed, full-sized stock.
- Strong preference toward wood furniture. If aftermarket has to be done, no worries.
- Probably ghost-ring type sights. Open to other ideas though.
- Positively a light system.
- Almost certainly no muzzle brake or related.
- Probably not a silencer, but wouldn't completely rule it out.
