I’m looking to buy (or cut down to) an 18.5” over under shotgun with a polymer stock. Any cheap suggestions? Making it as a bit of a meme but I will use it

I am curious as to why you would want to do this. Any O/U shotgun made recently enough to have a polymer stock but cheap enough to be cut down would not be reliable for two shots for very many rounds.

That being said, you might find an older Browning Citori, cut it down and fit it with a modern polymer stock from Browning that would fit it. That way, you'd have a reliable base gun and the stock you want.

@BatteryOaksBilly I just looked at the Stoeger Double Defense 20" O/U which retails for about $500. Reviews seem to be pretty good. Do you have any experience with the gun?

I have one. I like it. The action was stiff in the beginning but that’s easy enough to polish in a few minutes and now it’s smooth. It has rails all over it. I put a red dot on it and it’s pretty slick. I’d recommend it but buy it in person to examine the action. I hear some are stiff and others aren’t.

Could be mistaken. But I think Mossberg makes just such a thing.

Looks like it's called the HS12 and is a Maverick. Didn't look to close on their site but didn't see it listed there just now

My issues with any low cost O/U shotguns comes from higher volume, more precision shooting, like sporting clays, trap or skeet. O/U shotguns can have barrels that are not well regulated, meaning they shoot to different points of impact. This wouldn't cause a big problem at defense shooting distances.

I asked the why of the OP for a reason. If it's for a game where you just get two shots at defense distances, then fine. For my home defense gun, I like a higher capacity than 2 shots. I also like a reliability factor that doesn't always come with low cost options in break open guns, especially O/U configurations.

Definitely not for any kind of serious use. Just a range toy
 
I fired the Mossberg version and it was fun but if I remember correctly it had extractors and I would want ejectors on such a thing.

Stoeger Condor Outback. Had mine fo about 6 years, comes with nice walnut, 20” barrel with fixed sights and screw in chokes and is chambered for 3” shells. Solid gun at a good price.
 
Just buy a coach gun. Problem solved.
