$99 survival shotgun, Walmart
I'm astonished over a dozen youtubes on how to modify the gun to make it fold, storage holes in the stock, improve the trigger pull.
The trigger pull adjust mod is really easy. To cover the cuts to make the gun fold tight, they use wrap around camouflage tape. Instead of shotgun shells in the stock holes maybe a couple choke tubes (if you have choke threads added on the front). Mike Orlen, moderator at shotgunworld is reasonably priced choke gunsmith shop , 20% discount to anyone registered at shotgunworld. http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewforum.php?f=12 The gun has a rib, and sights (for slugs), sights designed to setscrew mount onto ribs are easy to find. Another idea for the hole storage instead of two shells, is a gauge adapter 12 to 20. And a 20 to .22LR placed inside the first adapter (they will nest). Or a 20 to 410.

These are only 4 of the 15 or more youtube videos in modifying the Wallyworld Hatfield gun so that it folds in half all all the way and has a cut down barrel. All different people had their own ideas...
It makes for an ideal survival rig... at bargain price.

This is pretty cool. I especially like the way the guys are not afraid to attack this thing, sometimes without the right tools, because, hey, its a $99 shotgun. End result is pretty nice though.
So how do we get our hands on one of these behind the iron curtain in Kaliforniastan? They have reeducated Walmart into not selling guns here. Do we have to wait for the B-29's to come by and airdrop them, like they did with these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FP-45_Liberator Or maybe we can print them, like these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberator_(gun) Any other ideas for getting them here for anything close to $99?

I have a New England Arms single shot 12 gauge I bought a few years ago for a hundred bucks. I put it in a survival stock, bought some caliber inserts, 22, 9 and 45. It is multi-caliber survival. It is the bottom shotgun. The stock holds ammo and inserts.

Looks like a fun project. You can get caliber adapters.
https://www.gunadapters.com/ Question is how do we find this Hatfield locally? |

Since it is free shipping I think that I'll pick one up to stack on my next DROS, as it will only at about $15 to the whole process.

Then when you screw it up and ruin something, it becomes a "survival" gun, because when your wife finds out she might let you "survive" since it only cost $99. Then you learn your lessons, and after spending a few hundred dollars to placate the wife, you use the first one as a parts gun, and "survive" to buy another one for $99 and start the cycle over again. That's "survival."

Odds are most people would not want to store an AR or AK this same way for fear of theft while unattended or neglect-related damage to a reasonably expensive firearm. At $99 you can throw it away and buy a new one if the fuglification bothers you that much.

Firing pin broke? Replace it with a pointy bit of hardened steel. Spring worn out? Find one and cut to fit. I used a spring from a ball point pen as a replacement firing pin spring. Most other types of firearms require more complex replacement parts. Even pump shotguns are fairly complex compared to the humble single shot. There are older used shotguns by H&R, NEF and the various Sears brands out there for around $100 that are nicer quality, but still cheap and not usually collectible. So modifying them won't ruin their value since they have so little anyway. The problem with my old single shots is that they don't have vent ribs, making attaching slug sights difficult. But, if buckshot will suffice, the basic bead sight will work. |

Cheaper than Walmart!
If anyone is interested in this gun, I found a source online that is cheaper than Walmart- under $95!
Woodbury Outfitters has them for a regualr price of $104.85 with free shipping: http://woodburyoutfitters.com/hatfie...uge-28-ush12w/ With SAVE10 promo code, you get 10% off. That makes it $94.36 shipped. Code ends at 11:59 EST tonight. I have not bought from Woodbury Outfitters before, but I ordered one yesterday and got a tracking number this morning, so they're off to a good start. I have another online shotgun purchase coming, so I can put it on the same DROS, and FFL is charging only $10 extra for second gun. So basically my cost on this is $104.36 plus tax, and I never have to set foot in WalMart to do it.

Gun Search at wikiarms allows searching online for guns. Here is search for Hatfield. Apparently 410, 20, and 12.
They're all about $100 and all have ribs. https://www.wikiarms.com/guns?q=hatfield If you are watching any of the videos above on Youtube, you will see LOTS of other videos on the right hand side of the video playing window, by other people doing the same sort of mods on this same gun. Each doing the same thing in his own way, using different tools. Simple hand tools hacksaw, electric drill, wood drill bit, file. And a knife sharpening stone (the guy said any $2 stone from the Dollar Store works, he was smoothing the trigger guard with it). Wrapping with camouflage tape after using linseed oil on the bare wood keeps it looking half way decent after bubba cuts to the stock. The whole idea is a cheap survival pack rifle, perhaps using gauge adapters in holes in the stock. https://www.gunadapters.com

OP, I can't say that I "need" this gun, but I'm really looking forward to the project. The price is unimaginable. Thanks for posting!

I am undecided on the length of the adapters to get. It's essentially going to be a pistol velocity VS rifle velocity considering the length of the adapters in comparison to the shotgun barrel length. Any determination on your end? |

For rifle/handgun ammo in shotgun, the longer adapters give better accuracy, and are quieter shooting. But expensive. The best are the guy in Alaska (up to 18" long).
www.mcace.com/ For storing in the shotgun stock short is the way to go. It's ten dollars off on stack pack. Shortlane runs sales every month , different product or sale each month. The stack pack is on sale now.. https://www.gunadapters.com/stack-n-pack-kit/ Youtube video show two 12 gauge shells stored in Hatfield stock one behind the other, so two short adaptors should fit, even if not stacked inside each other. Or one longer one, say 5 inches (the bug out rifled shortlane).

He's shooting 40 yards in the video, shotgun patterns well. The .22 doesn't of course (it's an unrifled smooth .22 adapter).
You can build your own nest of adapters that fit inside each other, like 12 to 20, 20 to 9mm, etc., they will fit inside each other same way.

If you want a survival single shot shotgun, build a slam gun for less than the cost of dros. Why spend 140+ when you can build with simple over the counter parts for 1/4 of the cost......that's survival. No springs, no triggers, nothing that can fail really.

Except the barrel, exploding and turning your hand into a bloody stump. For $140, you can safely shoot buckshot and slugs with decent sights and trigger. Nothing worse than having to survive and then injuring yourself with your own gear. The point of crappy single use firearms is to kill someone and take their gun. Not survival in the conventional sense. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Don't exaggerate! I'm into this for $112.85.

$130 max OTD after shipping, tax, and DROS. It'll be a fun gun. After adapters and mods, I'm sure I'll be at $200 for a fun gun.

I'd think the 20 ga model and 5" adapter in .22 would be a better survival gun. Lighter and more handy. The 5" and 8" are rifled unlike the stack pack. But for some reason, they have no 8" 20 ga to .22 adapter.
I wish they'd make a 5" and 8" version of the stack pack with rifled .22. Cutting the barrel may make it better for self defense, but would make it worse for hunting.

Another reason to choose the 20 ga!

I'll probably use a limbsaver. I'd rather have the ability to use 12.

Mine arrived. Many thanks to SandHill for the Woodbury deal and Darto for introducing this. Please continue to share your mods. I'm trying to map out what I will do. I'm thinking camo paint in brush pattern.
I did the trigger adjustment immediately and what a world of a difference. I need to seek out the appropriate sized washers to use to maintain tension. I don't like the idea of the tension bar/spring just sitting loosely. Maybe some trigger polishing. Last edited by code_blue; 10-19-2017 at 4:33 PM.. |

Picking mine up tonight! Don't know when I will have time to mod it, but what a cool project. Thanks Darto!

Just wanted to add there is a new gun of this type, about $145, by Midland.
But it has a shorter barrel (choice of lengths 18.5 " in 12 or .410 gauge). Midland has announced there will be 'interchangeable' rifle barrels that swap on and off in seconds. Coming out later this year as accessories. No external hammer. This is good if you are going to put a scope on it (because hammers are notorious to be hard to reach on scope mounted single barrel guns, even if an a sideways hammer exertion is added). It also comes threaded for standard screw in chokes and has spacers included for pull length adjustment, and storage under the removable butt already installed. http://www.go2gbo.com/forums/50-shot...omparison.html
