This guide details an attempt to install an AR-15 trigger into a Derya Arms DY12 12-gauge shotgun. The process involves disassembly, fitting the AR-15 trigger, and reassembly, followed by a functional test. The video highlights potential compatibility issues due to differing internal designs, specifically the hammer mechanism and pin configurations, ultimately concluding that the AR-15 trigger is not directly compatible.

This guide details the custom modification of an Ithaca Model 37 shotgun, inspired by the movie 'Aliens'. It covers barrel cutting, custom sight fabrication, furniture installation, and testing the unique 'slam fire' feature. The process emphasizes adherence to NFA regulations, including the crucial step of obtaining a tax stamp for such builds. Expertise from a firearm instructor is evident in the detailed steps and safety precautions.

This guide details the installation of the Woox Gladiatore furniture kit on a Remington 870 shotgun. The video, presented by Johnny Q, showcases how to replace traditional composite stocks with high-grade All-American Walnut furniture for a more luxurious and unique aesthetic. The process involves removing the old stock and foregrip and installing the new Woox components.

This guide details the process of installing an aftermarket folding stock on a Remington 870 Police Magnum, highlighting common pitfalls such as incorrect bolt thread pitch and length. It emphasizes careful disassembly, reassembly, and the importance of using the correct hardware for a secure and functional installation, drawing inspiration from iconic 80s movie shotguns.

This guide details an attempt to install an AR-15 trigger into a Derya DY12Y 12-gauge shotgun. The process involves disassembling the shotgun's lower receiver and attempting to fit a CMC AR-15/10 trigger. While the trigger initially appears to fit, live-fire testing reveals significant compatibility issues due to design differences, specifically an oversized Turkish hammer and unique pin retention systems, ultimately demonstrating that AR-15 triggers are not universally compatible with this shotgun model.

This video details the complex process of converting a Winchester 1897 shotgun into a trench gun configuration. It covers critical steps such as legally shortening the barrel, modifying the magazine tube, fabricating and fitting a bayonet lug and heat shield, and addressing significant engineering challenges that arise from using reproduction parts. The presenter emphasizes the need for specialized tools and advanced machining skills to achieve a functional and safe result.

This guide details a DIY technique for creating 'poor man's slugs' by cutting birdshot shotgun shells, a method historically used for defense and hunting during times of scarcity. The process involves carefully cutting the shell casing to create a projectile that functions similarly to a slug. The video demonstrates the technique on a Beretta 1301 tactical shotgun and discusses the importance of cut accuracy for flight stability and potential reliability issues in semi-automatic firearms.

This video demonstrates critical firearm safety failures, including poor muzzle awareness, lack of trigger discipline, and unsafe handling in a residential environment. The individual exhibits difficulty with basic firearm manipulation, culminating in a negligent discharge indoors. It serves as a stark warning against improper firearm handling and the importance of professional training.

This guide details the process of creating a DIY wax slug from standard birdshot, as demonstrated by the 'Collapse N Protect' channel. The modification involves melting wax and pouring it over the shot to create a cohesive projectile. The video highlights the increased effectiveness of this DIY slug compared to traditional birdshot, particularly in its ability to concentrate energy on the target, as evidenced by its success in shattering a cinder block. The creator also humorously notes the potential for using scented wax to alter the range's odor.

This video from Collapse N Protect, featuring an instructor with high authority, experimentally tests whether 12-gauge shotgun shells mounted on a plate carrier will explode when shot. The tests, using birdshot, buckshot, and Dragon's Breath rounds, demonstrate that while shells can be breached and their contents spilled, they do not detonate or explode without primer ignition and the compression force typically provided by a firearm's barrel. The explanation highlights the essential components and conditions required for a shell to fire.
