Possum Stu Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 So, I'm looking at buying a CAS shotgun in the near future. I plan on getting a Stoeger Coach gun but like the longer barrel of the Uplander as well. I saw that they offer an Uplander with 12 and 20 ga barrels and that got me thinking (a dangerous pastime, I know...). It would be pretty cool to have the long barrels for shooting birds and clays and the short barrel for CAS. Can you get a replacement Coach barrel from Stoeger? Or is this just wishful thinking?
Perro Del Diablo Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 I just called stoeger about a stock splitting they said I would need to send in my coach because they have to hand fit it to reciever so to get your barrel lenghts it will probably have to be a special order. CW
Marshal Phil DeGrave SASS #55202 Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 From what I hear, just trying to get replacement parts is near impossible.
Rio Brazos Kid Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 From what I hear, just trying to get replacement parts is near impossible. That's patently untrue. Parts aren't available at every gunstore in the states for sure, but there are a couple of places besides the factory warranty shop where you can get parts, usually within a week or so. Not all that difficult. RBK

Not all that difficult. RBK OK, where? I've also heard (read) here and over on another cowboy forum that they are hard to get from the factory if not impossible, and nobody I've seen carries them. I use one and I like to have sources lined up just in case.

Possum Stu Posted June 1, 2011 Author Posted June 1, 2011 Thanks! I'll have to give them a call, as well as some dealers in Utah. I haven't seen anything online. Hopefully there's a source out there somewhere...
Guest diablo slim shootist Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 I tried to swap barrels on my Uplander and my coach gun they will NOT interchange
Marauder SASS #13056 Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 From what I understand, the barrels have to be individually fit to the gun for the final step. So you would have to have the barrel made specifically for your gun. You cannot just order another set of barrels. But you can always ask about it and see what the cost would be. I would guess that it would be cheaper to buy two guns.
Smithy Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 I would guess that it would be cheaper to buy two guns. +1 I totally agree with Marauder on this, but look at it this way. What a perfect excuse to buy another gun! After all, It's necessary by golly. Smithy.

Possum Stu Posted June 2, 2011 Author Posted June 2, 2011 OK, so here's the official response from Stoeger: "Extra barrels are not available for any of our over/under or side-by-side models. Due to the way the barrels must lock up to the receiver, the barrels are custom fit to each gun at the factory. Thank you, Customer Service Benelli USA" Too bad. What would be perfect is if they offered a "cowboy combo" package with a long barrel and a coach barrel, both 12 gauge. I'd buy that sucker in a heartbeat. Ah well...
Chicken Coop SASS 5791 L Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Indeed a multiple barrel shotgun capability would be enjoyed by many. Indeed, our primary modern shotgun is a Mossberg 500 with the standard 26" bbl with Accu-Chokes for trap/skeet/upland game, a 24" ported rifled barrel for deer/bear/large game slugs, and a 20" bbl Accu-Choke for turkey/self defense loads. Nonetheless, I can assure you all, there is nothing wrong with using a Stoeger 12 GA SxS 20" bbl Coach Shotgun for hunting birds. My wife proved that to me several years while hunting Chukkars/Pheasants in central PA. She definetley got her fair share of birds with her coach gun. Chicken Coop
