Howdy Gunpost! What I have for sale here is my custom Remington 812 Sawed-Off. This is a CBC (Companhia Brasileira de Cartuchos) made shotgun from Brazil. CBC made these for both Remington in the US and Canada, and CIL in Canada.
The 812 is the more deluxe model that features a beefier Brazilian hardwood stock. I'm reasonably sure this is a type of Brazilian tiger wood called Gonçalo Alves or Brazilian Koa. It's a beautiful and extremely dense hardwood. Much harder and denser than American black walnut.
The barrel was cut down to 18.5 in and the overall length is a little bit over 26.5. So this firearm is still very much in the non-restricted category. The muzzle was recrowned and the original bead front sight was moved to the new muzzle. It was drilled and tapped and everything. A rear sling swivel was added to the grip and the stock bolt hole is covered by a very tasteful and very Western looking pewter accent piece as pictured. It can easily be removed with a flathead screwdriver to access the shortened stock bolt.
It's a 2 and 3/4-in 12 gauge chamber and the muzzle is cylinder bore (duh).
Despite its short and stubby appearance, the shotgun still has some good weight to it over 6 lb at least. I haven't weighed it on a scale though. The thick and heavy steel barrel on this is part of that, and as well as the fact the receiver is a large piece of thick cast steel and the dense hardwood helps add to the weight. So this is handy and easy to carry around, say in a backpack but it's not going to fly out of your hands when you shoot it.
The shotgun will comes with a little carry bag as pictured inside. It has a bunch of little sleeves and compartments to store tools or extra ammo or whatever you want in it.
The shotgun is located in Calgary, Alberta for pickup or for a local sale. I am also more than happy to ship it nation-wide, and that will be on the buyer's dime. This should be reasonably inexpensive to ship because I can break the gun into three pieces and it's under 20 inches long.
