    I may be a little narrow minded at times so bear with me. I am looking for a decent shotgun only for small game and pest control around my VA homestead. I would prefer a pump action. And I have been happy with the .410ga so far but am not finding one anywhere.



    So, am I being too narrowminded about use and should just accept a 20ga or 12ga?



    Has anyone heard of any mfg making such a beast?



    If not, if I get say a 20ga and want it modified to fit .410ga is it even possible?



    help

    Good to know. I havent seen any at the 2 WalMarts near me, bun I will look again now knowing that at least some of their stores carry them.

    I intend to get a 410 for trap shooting. Makes for a pretty good challenge.

    If you dont see what you are looking for in the case at Wal-mart, ask an associate to see their gun catalog. You would be surprised at what they can order for you, and it usually only takes a couple of days, rarely it takes a couple of weeks.

    Rawhide, You can order .410 pump shotguns. Browing mod BPS, Mossberg mod# 50104, Remington Mod 870 Wingmaster. I own a Mod 42 Winchester .410. (collectable) Great little 410!!... Depends upon, how much you want to spend. I am not sure however, if Walmart can order you one but, i am sure your local gun shop can. Later, Nohub

    Oh yes..one other thing...., .410 Pump-Shotguns are, to this day, very popular in the Uk. ( because of restrictions) Edgar Brothers, is the largest distributor for Remington .410 pump-shotguns. Later, Nohub

    Im not sure about what models Wal-mart can order, but the one thing I am sure of is that they can order an a**load more than what they have on display. That one you can trust me on, I have an inside source, my wife is Sporting Goods Dept manager here and she has ordered me a few.

    They put 410 inserts in 12 gauge bbl. all the time. But thats a waste of money. 410 is an odd bird, favored by trap shooters who like a double bbl.



    Bond Derringer makes a 410 gauge / 45 Colt handgun for snakes.



    If youre looking for a pest gun, that might work for you.



    In a 410, Id look for a double bbl. In a pump action, go for the Reml 870 in 20 gauge.
