I came into a old Mossberg Model 500 20 ga. plain barrel with a cracked buttstock. Probably put behind a truck seat and some big old boy needed some more room. Crunch! With prices high it might be a $200-250 gun at best. 20 ga. is more manageable than the 12 for some, in reality there is not but about 25 pellets difference and the speed is the same. Usually a 20 is on a smaller chassis and they actually "kick" worse than a light load 12! Simply due to the weight differences.
Anyway I'm going all Jim Taylor on it!
I'm going to order one of those $25 pistol grips off the net. Then I'm going to use a pipe cutter to etch the barrel at 19" and cut it off. Instantly it goes from undesirable squirrel gun from a bygone era to a modern tactical wonder! And the value boosts up considerably!
We bought a double 20 and it literally brought tears to my eyes to whack the tubes. But instantly EVERYONE went from no thanks to wanting it!
