Ed,do you know if the Camo stocked NEFs are wood or plastic stocks? Also,I found some used with 24",27" and 32"...All are the SB2,so does it matter which one I get for the rebore? Thanks!! Tom

The camo stocks are usually wood.
Only the 24 and 31" are bull barrels with
screw in choke good for rebore.
Thr 27 and 28" with solid choke are fairly heavy
but not enough for rebore.

On mine I used the threaded section on end as
an internal brake with ports in the top 60 degrees.
After the barrel is bored 8ga there is nothing left
to use choke body.

As for stocks in the long run you can't beat
the thumbhole survivoe stock with hollow butt full
of weight.ED

SB1 frames or similiar and wouldn't be best for our
heavier loads.

The 10ga can be setup with a thumbhole stock with
a hollow butt for weight like this one. handles recoil
much better and stock is only 50 bucks.Ed

I like the stock,but why Lead in the stock,that would make it HEAVY and Kick less?! bewildered duhhh! Big Grin Need a Peep or a Red Dot scope as I plan on drawing blood with it(besides my own!) hilbily...By the way,I have a name for MY 8 bore... "BRUTUS"

What shotload can it handle? If a regular 10ga can squeeze 2.5-2.75 oz with custom handloads, then 3 oz should be possible with the 8?

It'll handle 3 oz of shot, enough room for
bigger buckshot if you need buckshot.
Guys in UK use then with birdshot.ED

He used to collect many of the old English doubles in 8 and 7 gauge...He has tons of molds and loading equipment,components,cases and more.He has done both rifle and shotgun loads and still does so.....I may do some buckshot loads,but mostly slugs of heavy weight.So,you need to get on board and get you one too!

I can't get the right powders at home unfortunately, or import loaded shells it seems.
