Custom Coach Gun - 12 Gauge Double Barrel - DIY Build

First!
You need a sight for this. Can probably JB weld a truglo sight or drill in a bead sight.

Gd old gun...hope u fire appropriate length shotshells...likely chambers are 2.5 or 2 5/8" and those shotguns werent
Proofed for smokeless modern powders... Id be shooting black powder/and or appropriate low pressure smokeless...honestly its your gun...id of never cut it...check my channel i post several of mine...im in process of restoring a few .. Also at end where you cut it...likely a hole where wedge is now gone...a trick is stuff hole with steel wool. And melt solder inside...fill flush...
Then dress with a file

....

Mine is still nicer lol.

what did you do to seal in between the barrels on the front after you chopped it? i like to poke a little bit of steel wool in between there, then seal over that smooth with some jb weld, sand/file and done.

Got this nice old shotgun Its in good condition lets hack it apart instead of just buying a stoger. Moronic yanks

Coach gun is still on my list of must haves for my collection, and one of the few that won't add a caliber so I don't have to source ammo in these times

I hate to see an old sxs cut down

Looks good man

Turned out nice. That oil really made the deep golden color in the wood pop. Later Matt 🐍🇺🇸

Dude. I just cleaned up one of these today, exact same model, American gun company 28 inch 12 gauge.

Is it Damascus steel? The one I was messing with today is.

Beautiful! I want you to make me one!

I’ve always wanted a coach gun just because they’re cool. Been looking for the hammerless CZ coach gun but they’re pretty hard to find. Granted, I could find on online but I’ve just been waiting until I come across one at a gun shop.

Tapping a little brass bead is very easy to do.... That rib is soft metal..

You're killing me. I want a coach gun so bad but it's hard to justify buying a stoeger for 400 when you can get a pump for cheaper. And only one shop locally has old doubles. I'm pretty sure he thinks they are made of gold tho

How do you D.I.Y. BUILD a gun that is already built?

A nice lupara.

Thank you NEA, lovely job.

awesome, im going to make one with an old percussion 12 gauge. hoe does is shoot? have you tried shooting a roundball slug ? i wonder how it behaves with the 18". best regards Gordon NL

That is amazing work. I want to customize my stoeger dd ss. I was thinking an action job and quality wood furniture. Any other suggestions?

Beautiful gun !!

Lol put a butt pad and it wont stick out
