I did another that I cut off the stock but saved the piece and put it back on with a 'filler piece' added for the saw blade width. Yes, it had a 'ring' around the stock. Doweled it for extra strength. They were happy as it was the same gun they had been using for years.

I made one for a friend that is 'small of stature'. Bought an aftermarket stock and cut 4" off of it. That way I had the original I could put back on. The gun itself was a 26" barreled (same length as a 'youth' model) standard length gun.

That’s a good idea unfortunately after everything I’ve put my supernova through and what I’ve seen it handle and do I’m stuck with Benelli only shotguns for life and they have composite stocks

Some guns have a protrusion down in the stock that limits how much you can take off.

(Is it because that’s what many of us cut our teeth on, so we instantly think that)

Easy enough, if I had to chose between one or the other, 870 all the way.

Lol I can understand that about tradition but I swear by my supernova. They are ugly though for sure and plastic feeling but really strong workhorses. Super reliable after taking a beating. I’ve repainted my barrel a few times now from all the salt water I hunt in

Had a Supernova. Played with it one day with different brands, shot sizes and lengths of ammo all loaded together. Never jammed. Never failed to cycle. Never failed to fire.
Well, there's your difference between it and the 870! :peep:

Gave (yes, gave) it to a very good friend that ADORED it for his birthday one year. He crapped himself. Amazing shotguns. It is still in use today.
I had a shell casing split in the chamber after I fired with cheap ammo so it expanded and was jammed in the chamber. I took it by the pump and slammed it into the ground several times really hard and it ejected the shell out. That was like hundreds and hundreds of rounds ago and it keeps going.
