I also cut the barrel to 18 1/2", removed the cheek piece and sanded flush on both sides, removed the flares on the pump handle. The flares on the pump handled jammed my fingers when pumping. Makes a lot nicer gun.
I've been looking at buying one but the barrel length is a slight put off. I'm going to look into having one professionally cutdown to around 20 and the choke threads re cut.
Tyler, I bought the shotgun for self defense. I felt the original barrel length was just too long to be able to maneuver in the house. Also, it reduced the weight a little more.
Yes because some people have good reason. Iam fed up people like you asking questions like everyone in the world is stupid and YOU are the might reasonable guy. Like the world need a ide by your thoughts of how things should be. This is a free country!!! Ok here is another answer why someone would do that. I wanna a shotgun, iam female, and can’t handle the 12gauge or even 20 gauge well without affect the follow ups. In a self defense scenario i would do better with .410, and using 00 shot with 4 or 5 pellets is the best bet, and a semi auto would even be better, fast follow ups and I don’t have to worry about the trouble to pump, might get confusing and mess things up with adrenaline. And before you say bla bla judt go get some training, well what can you say about many videos of cops acting fast and desperate for their lives when shit hit the fan and they unload their guns and miss all the shots? Yeah look it up, has lots of videos, their training went out of the window real quickly. Ok, so in the market can’t find easy, if is even available, .419 semi with barrel or 18.1/2 or 20, is all long barrels,some you can find maybe is low capacity. So the best bet is buy one with these long barrels and cut down to 18.5 or 20, still is legal because is not illegal saw off the barrel, what is illegal is saw off a barrel of a shotgun with stock cut it down to less than 18.5, because it turns to short barrel shotgun, need pay tax stamp and ask permission to atf to do this before, too much shit, not worth. Also NO!!! I don’t wanna a shockwave .410, i wanna with stock to have better accuracy and aim and also to make the semi cycling more reliable, because i want semi right!?. This way i answered your questions. Yore welcome

On the rock island website it says it's a 5+1 and a 3in chamber
Is the 5+1 for 2½in shells or 3in shells

@@kyagsrus just buy the 12ga with the 18.5 in barrel it’s the same price
@@Remingtonmodel29 so true! it just wasn't available anywhere at 18/5 so I made the best of what I could get.
