I\u2019m used to these types of interactions with bolt-action rifles and custom 1911s, but not so much with pump-action shotguns\u2014especially ones dubbed as tactical types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shooting the actual STF\/12 itself also caught my attention. The recoil\u2014it\u2019s different, even without the included muzzle brake. It\u2019s solid but muted. It doesn\u2019t want to knock you over. So, we\u2019ve established that the STF\/12 is a great shotgun, thus, a great inclusion for this issue\u2019s Custom Challenge giveaway<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Fabarm STF\/12 would be an excellent if not necessary purchase for any shotgun lover, but imagine receiving one as prize package! Well, that\u2019s\u2019 what\u2019s happening with the very Fabarm STF\/12 that I\u2019ve been drooling all over in the previous paragraphs. And while the STF is awesome, we thought we\u2019d spice it up and make it different\u2014as in \u201cApocalypse Wow\u201d themed, much like the bulk of the editorial content in this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most notable change is the custom paint job. This Road Warrior meets steampunk finish is absolutely amazing, setting the tone of high-speed desert, post apocalyptic shenanigans, which is quite fitting for the man responsible for its look\u2014Bryan Welch, owner and operator of Pro 2 Customs in Phoenix, Arizona. Pro 2 is without a doubt one of the premiere custom gun coating\/finishing businesses in the space\u2014and there are many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lots of people can Cerakote a gun, but few possess the artistic ability to take a concept from a brain spark to a final, fully fledged, period accurate, color and tonally correct, functioning representation of that spark. It takes a special amount of talent and skill (which aren\u2019t the same), and Bryan has it. I watched as he created this finish in a matter of a couple of hours while I waited. We talked throughout the process, which never seemed to distract him from this meticulous execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bryan created everything from a brushed metal look to convincing rust, patina and a wooden finished collapsible AR stock. Coating since 2015, Pro 2 Custom has completed some 13,000-plus serialized guns. This doesn\u2019t include slides and other parts that aren\u2019t serialized. This is experience that\u2019s hard to find. On top of that, Pro 2 provides coatings for automotive, laser engraving (which is insane), grip work, custom guns and built-to-order index holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We didn\u2019t stop at the refinish. The Fabarm STF\/12 is a great platform for tactical accuracy, so we added an Aimpoint Micro H-2 with 2-MOA dot. This sits on the Picatinny rail that runs the length of the STF and nestles in nicely with the ghost ring sight assembly for a near co-witness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also included with this awesome scattergun is a SureFire Scout Light Pro. It provides 1,000 lumens of blinding output to stop anyone and anything in its tracks. It also has and impressive 1.25 hours of run time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The STF itself has an impressive list of features outside of the additional custom touches, including a monolithic 7075 receiver, 18-inch barrel, 5+1 feed tube, heat shield and compensator with spikes. All of this adds up to be one of the best firearms on the market and an insane Custom Challenge giveaway gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information, visit fabarmpro.com<\/a>, aimpoint.com<\/a> and surefire.com<\/a>.

Popping the polymer buckle drops the gun and allows the stock to be extended. At that point, the gun is a fairly precise instrument, particularly with slugs. Winchester offers its PDX1 Defender ammo in both 12- and 20-gauge versions. The 20-gauge sort launches a solid lead slug. The 12-gauge variant also throws a slug but adds a little buckshot in for an Information Age variation on the Revolutionary-War-era buck-and-ball load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each gun will indeed hide underneath a proper jacket, but that is not the most practical application. It is rather the perfect way to pack a proper personal howitzer if you\u2019re out fishing or wandering about where the wild things roam. In my neck of the woods in the Deep South, those are water moccasins. Back when I lived in Alaska, the bears stood up to 9 feet tall and could weigh half a ton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I once read a story about an 11-year-old boy who saved his uncle from a brown bear attack in Alaska. The kid wielded a pump-action shotgun loaded with birdshot at amazingly close range. This exemplary example of miniature manhood apparently continued engaging the monster at near-contact range with his shotgun until the threat was no longer threatening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even if marauding bears the size of Volkswagens or venomous serpents longer than your leg are not part of your local threat array, nothing says, \u201cDon\u2019t screw with me, dude,\u201d like the gaping maw of a proper shotgun. There are some viable applications for covertly packing a legal sawed-off shotgun. A beater pawnshop shotgun, Choate Machine and Tool, and an evening in front of the TV with a needle and thread can leave you prepared for anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","post_title":"How to Build a Legal Sawed-Off Shotgun","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"legal-sawed-off-shotgun","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:12:43","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:12:43","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2023\/01\/17\/legal-sawed-off-shotgun\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":1128,"post_author":"419","post_date":"2022-03-15 10:12:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-03-15 14:12:00","post_content":"\n\n\n Earlier this year, I took on the assignment of creating an Athlon Outdoors video on the Fabarm STF\/12. As a contributor, this was initially just another assignment, another gun to review and share my experiences with you. As a lover of rifles, I thought, \u201cIt\u2019s a shotgun,\u201d so I wasn\u2019t overly excited as I didn\u2019t expect anything beyond the typical 12-gauge experience. Boy was I wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n The Fabarm STF\/12, all puns aside, literally blew me away with its fit and finish, and excellent manners. This Italian pump-action wonder caught me completely off-guard. Every surface of the Fabarm is right with the materials coming together to create ear pleasing mechanical noises, accompanying tones and satisfying tactility. Clicks. Clacks. Schuu-lunks. Noises that you would find written out in your favorite graphic novel (read comic book) are delivered in an acoustic display that is wonderful. And I truly mean that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The STF feels as if its one piece of material with a ball-bearing-driven pump action. All of the movements are positive with mechanical and audible feedback. These attributes guide you in its function, letting you know what you\u2019re doing at every moment of operation. I\u2019m used to these types of interactions with bolt-action rifles and custom 1911s, but not so much with pump-action shotguns\u2014especially ones dubbed as tactical types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shooting the actual STF\/12 itself also caught my attention.
