soon to be 8 year old.
I think I want a 28 gauge for my youngest son. The 20 that my oldest son has is a little to big for him with to much kick, his 410 is a joke. I am having a hard time finding one that would work for him. Supposedly they made a 1100 field model from Remington a few years ago that had a 21 inch barrel, that is what I want. Charles Daly use to make a youth 28 gauge that had a 22 inch barrel, that would also work. Could I buy a standard 1100 28 gauge and get a 21 inch barrel aftermarket that would shoot steel shot? In a perfect world I would rather something turnkey. I want a semi-auto due to less recoil and so he can shoot more than one shot when he gets older.
My oldest son is a big kid so the 20 gauge was fine for him, My youngest son still only weighs 52lbs. Matthew was 70Lbs or more at this age.
A 410 single barrel is a tough gun for a kid to use for waterfowl. I didn't mention this but the gun will be used for duck hunting. He wants to be able to shoot next year and not just help me work the dog and identify ducks.
Can't seem to find anyone with anything in stock....
If one of you has a used gun in a similar model or can put me in contact with someone that would be great as well.
