Kozak, as a seasoned citizen I wonder how I made it all my younger years without duct tape .Of course now it's part of my life.

I had almost forgotten about this one.....

Several years ago I acquired a couple of Mossberg 500 shotgun barrels that did not have sling studs installed in the tapped hole in the barrel band/nut. I could have ordered the proper size studs and paid shipping and such, but I had a couple of studs already that were the proper size and thread pitch. Only problem was they were about an inch too long and had about 1/4" of unthreaded shank at the top. So I cut them to size and used a black hard rubber plumbing washer to cover the unthreaded shank. Looks pretty good for a Redneck Engineering job. I'll have to snap some pics and post them later to better 'splain it.

We all know the trick of adding hulls loaded with shot to the stock to add weight but the wife asked me a strange question tonight as I was complaining I could only get 3 hulls in my Yildiz. "Why don't you just use the loose shot that would give you more room?" Danged woman, I can't think of a logical answer.

Darned if I know, John. Some folks use a plastic bag to hold loose shot.

Nice work, krimmie.

Drummer, over on THR there's an old thread about a Remington 1740, two 870s hooked together. You may find it interesting....

Now, Now...there's a difference between Redneck and Mall Ninja engineering...your two examples are mall ninjas, because those contraptions cost WAY more than a redneck would ever spend.................
