That all depends on what you want, pump, auto, single, or over/under. My preference would be toward a over/under, aka stack barrel! I like the ideal of two barrels, one for close up work, and one for 30yds and beyond.

I have a TR Imports youth 410 stalker. I like t because it has a vent rib and that allows for various options to mount optics or vent rib open sights

To be honest, I don't have a 410 stack barrel yet. I do have a browning 12ga, and it kicks like a mule with with turkey loads. I'm wanting to purchase a Stevens 555, cause others on here have gone that route, and have good things to say about them.

I just had to consider this very question a couple weeks ago.  Which road to go down with a .410 turkey gun project?  Unfortunately at this time, no one makes a dedicated .410 turkey model so we are left to make our own from existing options.   

In my case, I remembered that I have a blued T/C Contender frame that I have hunted with a lot over the years with various barrels so I searched for a Contender .410 shotgun barrel on eBay and gun broker and found a nice 21" blued one.  Now to see how the barrel patterns when it arrives and if I am not happy, I will send it, and a few boxes of Federal .410 TSS #9, to Mr. Sumtoy to work his magic on! 

Do you have a .410 in your collection now that might lend itself to your project?  If not, are there any .410s out there that you might like to use as a starting point?
