    Remington 870 H.D. Shotgun project

    Awhile back when the economy was good, I caught a Big 5 Sale on the Remington 870 Express Defence Shotgun. Pickup one up and been fiddling with and shooting it. Bought it because I have been hunting with an 870 for years so I am very familiar with it. No problems with it so far. Probaby 7 heavy loads and couple hundred cheap bird shot thru it.

    First off, that hard plastic stock is brutal with full boat 00 buck and slug round thru it. That got changed to a Knoxx stock. Haven't had a chance to try it yet. Will report.

    Replaced the stock magazine spring with a Wilson Spring. That sure made it feed nicer. Shells got presented a lot quicker.

    Put an Wilson Combat front sling mounting point on the front. Liked that because it makes the shotgun layflat on my back easier. Thanks for all the ideas in the thread. Keep them coming.

    Next mods, front sight, saw a post about a Hi Viz sight. And more practice. Pictures to be posted later.

    Sounds like a nice set up. I have a similar 870 at home under the bed.

      This was my project and now it's done.

      870 Police 18.5 inch cylinder choke barrel
      SureFire 617 fore end
      Scattergun Technologies 2 shot extension
      GG&G vertical sling plate (on left side)
      Tac Star six shot side saddle
      Vang oversized safety
      Speedfeed 4 buttstock

      The gun was an agency turn in that was gone through by an armorer post turn in. It came to me with the OEM furniture, a Knoxx NRS stock and a simple synthetic fore end. Now it's what I think is close to optimum for a pump shotgun I'd bet my life on.

      CGN sticker is optional, of course.
