Modifications from SXP Waterfowl to Home Defense
Posted: Mon Jan 27, 2014 11:37 am
Hello Forum,
This is my first time on the winchester forum and owning a winchester. I won a Winchester SXP 3" Waterfowl DU Edition at a local banquet not to long ago. I already have a trustworthy and reliable duck gun that I've been using for 10 years now and I am not willing to retire it. It was a dear friend's of mine who is no longer with us, and I hunt with it every day, almost year around. I do need a home defense shotgun though and I think with the fast action,smooth shooting, and reliability that Winchesters are known for, this would make a great HD gun. My questions to all of you guys:
1) Can I use a "defender" 18" barrel in my 3" Waterfowl SXP.
2) Can I put in an extended magazine
3) Is the stock changeable
I know that, if changeable, the black and camo will look funny together. Honestly, I don't really care because the only people seeing it will be me, my wife, and bad guys. I know she and I won't care, and I don't care what the bad guys think about my mismatching gun.
I would like to keep all the camo stuff with it also, in case of ever needing to sell, all the DU stuff is original and will sell for more.
Thank you guys for your time
