Abstract: A shotgun stock including a shell holding compartment. The shell holding compartment is completely contained within the confines of the shotgun stock so that it does not extend outwardly in either direction from the stock. The shell holder is several clips facing either the right side or the left side of the stock. Shells may be snapped in or removed from the clip and the shells are also completely contained within the confines of the stock. Preferably, the stock includes a pistol grip portion so that the shotgun may be held by one hand. Also, preferably, the opening in the stock is divided by a partition with the clips in the rear partition and the hand holding pistol grip at the front of the front opening.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting and properly orienting a hydraulically-actuatable tool in a borehole and commencing drilling in a single trip of the drill string includes an MWD subassembly, for sensing the orientation, and a bypass valve for setting the hydraulically-actuatable tool once it is properly oriented and for thereafter conducting the drilling fluid to the cutter assembly. The method of setting a hydraulically-actuatable tool and commencing drilling in a single trip of the drill string includes the steps of running the hydraulically-actuatable tool into the borehole on a drill string which includes an MWD subassembly, sensing the orientation using the MWD subassembly, orienting the drill string to the desired orientation, and setting the hydraulically-actuatable tool.
