Changing Stoager Uplander to Coach gun?

I've been wondering if a Stoager Uplander's barrel can be swapped out for a coach gun barrel and if such barrels are even available. Would they even be interchangeable?

The barrels can be cut to whatever length you want. Re-installing choke tubes can get expensive, but if you don't require chokes,the job is simple and straightforward.

A second set of barrels can be fitted, BUT the cost would be more than what the gun is worth. That is IF you can find a set of barrels to be fitted to your action.

The fitting will require the services of a very good gunsmith, not a local parts changer.

For what it will to cost to fit barrels you can go out and buy a new coach gun.

That's funny right there - taking a double gun, adding a vertical grip, a Picatinney rail and light, and ported barrels............

wow..............it is amazing the crap Americans will add to guns in the name of being "tactical"

actually, it is really kinda sad.............

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know.

As for the tactical shotgun all I can say is that it still only holds two shots
