Every tool has a specific job that it is best suited for. Yours will fit in just fine.

That appears to be a Remington 870 Special Purpose Marine Magnum; correct?

I'm so far off topic that I figure I'm going to get the boot anyway, so here's another. Ithaca NID, Grade 3, mid 1920s, original factory SST, ejectors, restored/restocked by Gunter Pfrommer (former employee of Ithaca Classic Doubles, and Galazan/Conn Shotgun)

I asked because I am having a big problem with carpenter bees at my main home and at our cabin in north GA. They are the big ones that I used to always hear called bumble bees. They bore into wood and lay their larvae (or whatever it is called). Then, at the cabin at least, one of those large red headed woodpeckers thinks it is a sushi bar. Here is the result.

Brand new decks built last year and this was recommended by my pest control folks and damn it worked well along with traps:

You can purchase on Amazon as well. Traps worked after I put a dead one in there.and I have like 20 of those bastards left in there from last year. They are a huge pita…

I may have 2-3 that would fit in with that just fine.

For carpenter bees, that follows the adage from old Elmer Keith: "Use enough gun".
