.410 mods

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

I have a .410 bolt action stevens model 58B it has a clip. I was wondering if anyone knew where I can find a new clip or one with more capacity. I also have a .410 single shot H&R Topper Junior model 88 and was wondering if anyone knew where to find synthetic stock and forend. Any other mods you might recommend would be welcome.

Hey! We're the only mods allowed around these parts!!! Good luck with the larger clips but here's where you can find replacements: http://www.e-gunparts.com/DisplayAd....rSuperSKU=&MC= I can't help you on the HR 88. You could always contact them and ask them if they know of anyone making a synthetic after market stock.

Thanks Rick, fair price too! I may just get one and then disassemble my old one and weld on some capacity with a new spring. That is why I was looking for one my spring is sprung. I wonder if a heat treat might be the trick to get it springy again.... Also how old do you think the 58B is, it was found in an old barn and seemed to be very old.

I wish .410 didn't become "so rare", darn ammo is ridiculously over priced since it's not made in the quantities as the 12ga and 20ga

Either way, I'd be interested in some pics of your rifles if you have any laying around

Your right about the price of .410 and I will post some pics just check back on this post. I have collected them for my daughter she is 6.

Thanks, will do.

She's lucky! And I guess you are too considering you can atleast still get it at Wal-Mart for a bit less $ than eslewhere!

My Grandfather made a Grandfather's clock and stained it with shoe polish. It caught my eye and I learned alot. I refinished the stock.

I've never owned a .410 although, when I was a kid, I hunted with a couple of guys that had them. The only gauge shotgun I've ever owned is 12 gauge.

You might try Graybeards Outdoors for H&R info (among other stuff). Scroll down and they have a section just for the NEF/H&R stuff. Quicktoo knows quite a bit about those firearms.

What?! Another forum!? As Minister of Science I'll be in my inner sanctum working up an incantation to end this foolishness!!

I absolutly love my .410. It was the first shotgun I actually ever owned myself. It is easy for me to handle. Mine doesn't have a clip tho. Have you tried Cabela's? Probably over priced but, it is worth a look. We have a gun show her every other month or so, you could look around and see if there is one near you. We have a couple acres worth of guns, ammo, access. etc. Pretty cool, it's called Crossroads gun show.

Oh dear God....
..someone please tell me that it wasn't really a Finned Mosin, that he started with.

...and how about the eye-relief of that scope!

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

Thanks Welderguy, there were some options i wasn't aware of in your links! Appreciated the help!

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

I know this is an old thread...thought I'd update it. The clip I thought I needed for the Stevens ended up being repairable. The spring wasn't weak. Rather the "slide plate" was bent. I took it apart straightened it and will need to tack weld the clip frame back together and should work good as new! A forty dollar savings and I am thrilled to have saved an old shooter!

[Rick]

Good for you! Sometimes it's just a little elbow grease. I love it when old becomes new again. Who knows, maybe I'll be new some day. (sigh)

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

Thanks Rick! More importantly is I now understand where the "bind" was maybe it will be useful knowledge in the future....Ok So it took me awhile!

Speaking of .410 mods, I'm looking for a short (18 1/2 to 20 inches) barrel for my Remington 870 in .410.

NEF/H&R actions built the same, I believe, as I have swapped them around on my shotguns and Handi Rifles.
Difference is in the strength, sb1, sb2 and so on.
Fore arm might be different as the older ones used a post on the barrel and a clip on the fore arm, (not so good, on the 12 ga slug gun, as recoil tends to lift the barrel off the fore arm), newer models have a screw holding the fore arm on.

The "Survivor" stock or composite stock and forearm from the "Snake Charmer" .410 should bolt right on.
Some stock bolts are flat slot screw driver, some are hex headed bolts.

Site provided by welderguy is the style I had in mind.
