Saber Sloth




The problem with the old shotgun she found wasn't the caliber. 20 gauge wasn't BAD, but she'd need different shells then her other shoties. No, it was that it was busted up. The barrel and mag under the barrel needing replacing. And the stock was rotten. Three things to replace and the mag was something she'd outright have to make.


At least she could make it bigger capacity than the legal one. Which wasn't what this one had held, that was for certain. She'd dumped way more than 3 rotten shells out of it. Fortunately, Circe's garage had plenty of tools for measuring, cutting, and even soldering the parts. She was good to get to work an increase the capacity from the standard by 2.

Barrels were a lot simpler, she could easily replace that. Just having to swap it out. Then install the new magazine. Her pride however left her demanding it be of a nice quality, even if it was going to be a backup or giveaway. That slowed her down, but she had time to work.


1 hour make the barrel



Circe was getting good at inscribing fancy patterns into gun barrels. Might be a good legit hustle. Now she needed to swap out the parts.

install, another hour, is Circe a machine?



The stock was the last issue, with Circe deciding to go with a pistol grip style instead. Saves time, made the gun easier to store as a hidden backup. She could even got it down further if need be. And it wasn't like the Larcenist couldn't handle the additional kick to the twenty gauge. It was 20. Now ten, she might have gone with a recoil reducing stock, but twenty she could handle. Thank you very much.


swap stock, 1.5 hour



Maybe she'd get a folding stock in the future. Or make an attachment if someone less robust wanted to borrow it. Something that would let weaker folks use it without too much hassle. But that wasn't her problem for now.


The gun was functional. But she had no shells for it. Eh, she can fix that easy enough. Letting out a yawn, the blue Summer Monarch decides that is for later. Coffee only kept her running for so long. Sleepy time now. She'd been at this for 5.5 hours, and was getting sore. Hot soak in the bath she clear that up. Everything else could wait.
