ain't it?
Hell, what was I thinking? The one you really need it for is the mossy. It goes in the buttstock, is much beefier than the pistol version. 00 buck heaven.
That one will cost you more. The part is cheaper, but you need a competent smith to install it correctly.
If you want to try it yourself, here's what ya do:
Take off the buttplate. It looks like you have a hollow stock, but there might be some additional material you have to take out of the inside to install this thing. If the buttplate is glued on, you'll have to buy another one, reshape the end of your stock, and reglue it. If you're lucky, it will just be screwed on.
Once you have the space cleared for the reducer, fill the buttstock with liquid acrylic and let it set up (takes anywhere from 5 hours to a week depending on environmental conditions :P
The acrylic does two things: holds the reducer and adds a pound or so to the butt end of the gun. With a long barrel, that's good for balance. With a combat shotgun, you might feel a little off-kilter with it..judgement call. The additional weight also helps reduce recoil, though.
Drill out a hold *slightly* wider than the diameter of the reducer, wrap the reducer in enough paper so that it's so snug you have to use a mallet to lightly tap it in (that way it won't rattle around).
Put it all back together and go shoot shit.
