kiteman0 Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) well ive been out and brought my son a .410 today, after trying a few diffrent guns and looking at the price tags we decided on one, its a bolt action 3 shot, (i will only be loading it with 1 cart at a time for now) the only problem i have with it is the stock length, it measures 14" but my lad is a small 10 yr old. i dont want to cut the stock down becouse sooner or later its going to fit him, can you get smaller stocks for this gun which i could get and then put the normal stock back on???

steve_b_wales Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 The Norica 410 is a brilliant little shotgun. Looks more like a rifle. I had one many years ago. A mate of mine had the same problem with a shotgun for his nephew. The gun wasn't worth a great deal, so he cut about two inches of the stock. Later, as his nephew grew, he rejoined the cut off piece back onto the stock. You can only see a small line where it's joined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicykillgaz Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 teach him to shoot from the hip no seriously though can't you get one of them adjustable butts i've seen on air rifles and cut the stock then just add some sort of spacer at a later date? or am i sugesting things that only exist in my head?

Shuck. Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Looks really nice mate, I want one now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiteman0 Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 well we went out to do some clays with it and it wasnt good, he only hit 2 clays out of a lot of cartridges, i think the problem was that the stock is to long for him, which means he isnt able to swing or move the gun right with out his head lifting off the stock. not sure what to do try and get a .410 with a junior stock or risk loosing value on this gun by cutting the stock down. not sure which way to go with this guys, any advise welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuck. Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) what exactly did you want it for? I thought it would be to get your lil un into things like rats, rabbits.. as its shaped a lot like a rifle itll be a bigger step going onto swingin a bigger different shape 12b, also there not the best caliber for clays Edited February 17, 2010 by Shuck.

kiteman0 Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 yes he will be shooting vermin with it aswell, but he likes clay shooting aswell. he was hitting the clays last time we went with the clubs .410 the diffrence this time is the length of stock. i dont want to put him off allready due to not hitting them.

kiteman0 Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 i was concerned that if i cut the stock down the front would be heavy and the gun wouldnt be ballanced i might just be thinking about this to hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead eye alan Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 cut it and keep it for later get arubber end on it to make it look good and help balance dont worry too much on value cus somebody ells will want it for ther 10 year old and it will already be modifiyed for them good luck with the training and enjoy it cus soon he will be taking the micky out of you.
