Shared from Zite   Mesa Tactical has introduced an adapter for 20 gauge Remington 870 shotguns to use 12 gauge 870 buttstocks. Called the Lucy Adapter, this simple coupler simply bolts to the back of a 20 gauge 870 receiver, allowing the 12 gauge stock to then rigidly bolt to the adapter.

Shared from Zite   Fast forward to today. AMT is now under the High Standard Manufacturing Company umbrella, which also includes Interarms and US Cartridge. AMT is still making a Backup in .380 ACP. It's still all-stainless, has a matte finish, but it's double-action only (DAO) and weighs just 18 ounces. What caught my eye as I perused the High Standard website was another AMT Backup, this one in .45 ACP and weighing only 5 ounces more than the .380 model!
