metamorphosis of an 870

[RP1911]

Slowly getting it where i want it to be.

Traded for one of these with a 28" barrel and a 18.5" Mossberg barrel:



Traded an extra 28" barrel that I had for a Remington 18" barrel.
Swapped stocks. Lucky I had a set and didn't have to buy a new one.
Ordered a 2-shot extension and installed it this evening.

It currently looks like this:





Waiting for the Black Ace Tactical rail to be delivered.

There is something so elegant about a pump shotgun with wood furniture... beautiful

Thank you for sharing.

[RP1911]

Thank you. I too am partial to wood stocks.

By the way, the trigger lock was made by www.regalisi.com Regal Industries. Doesn't look like they make this anymore. The one I have says patent pending. It's a 2-piece unit that locks together via a key. Covers the trigger and the forend release. However, one can still load shells in the magazine.

You have put together a solid fight shotgun. As you have built it your weapon qualifies for the "AI&P Two Thumbs and a Pecker Straight up Award". However, if any tacti-fool rails go on there the award may be recinded

Regal trigger locks come with the Remington Shotguns and I have dozens of them. Will not work on M-4 type stocks and SF- IV's and III so I am stuck with them. I do send them out with weapons with conventional stock and they are on CA-DOJ approved list so that keeps me out of trouble with your DOJ.

I think the award was rescinded before it was awarded

[aippi]

I was hoping that the promise of such a prestigous award would persude him to leave it as is. I would do nothing more then an XS Big Dot and replace that waffle recoil pad with an R3 and then I would take that weapon to any fight I needed to go to.

I like the wood too.

[TheExpertish]

Looks good. I have to say I like the wood as well.

[X-NewYawker]

Wood has that magic…

[RP1911]

I know I am going to get some flak. But I have two other 870's that are unmolested and have wood stocks.

Here is the latest (taken with LG Vortex, my DSLR battery was dead):

Does it come with a Sherpa to carry it?

Absolutely.
