Help me pick out a short double barrel shotgun.?
It needs to be short. It has to be a 12 gauge. And it needs to be able to shoot 3 &1/2 in shells. Also it needs to be less than 500 dollars.

all i can suggest to you there is a black sable for that price range and leanght of barrel , im not a hundred % sure they do a 3 1/2.
Aya may be another place to look as well
I don’t know of anything in that price range in a double that will shoot 3-1/2". Any 3-1/2" guns I’ve seen are pumps or autoloaders. Most doubles are chambered for 2-3/4" and 3".
The Stoeger Coach gun has 20" barrels and is chambered for 3". Your local dealer should be able to order one for right around $300.
I’ve had an Uplander (side by side) .410 for quite a while and it’s still a great shooting gun with a nice tight action.
They’re a great gun for the price.
No one makes a side by side 12 with magnum chambers. Most folks have sense.
You….buy a Norinco coach gun ($230) with 3" chambers and then spend another $50-75 having a gunsmith ream it for you.
After a few years when you’ve never fired more than three 3 1/2" shells through it, just think about how much fun you coulda had with that $50-75.
If you REALLY want to shoot 3 1/2" shells in a coachgun, be my guest. That’s not too high on my list of priorities. That said, I don’t know of any with a 3 1/2" chamber, only 2 3/4" and 3".
Stoeger is your closest bet, but it will NOT shoot 3 n 1/2" shells. It IS way below five bills. That said, look for a 10 gauge double if you STILL want to shoot 3 n 1/2" shells out of a double, but I doubt you can find one with shorter than 30" barrels.

Another masochist. What the others have told is true. Might try looking for a .50 Browning Machine gun round in a handgun. . .
there are O/U shotguns that are chambered for 3.5 inch shells i think 26" barrel will be the shortest you find and that is a tough one. 28 inch is gonna do it. 500 bucks is going to be near impossible cuz the only 3.5 i found was a browning citori.
I agree with the rest on the side by side Stoeger
Check the Mossberg website for their reserve O/U
it runs 500
how short do you want? anything under 18 inch barrel you need a FFL destructive device license.

Why do you need 31/2 inch shells, which are mainly for hunting in a short barrelled coach gun? Go with the coach gun recommended by bferg and shoot buck shot in 3in shells. These are cool guns and worth the price.
