The Devastator

[UBFRAGD]

Finally finished my 870. Basically it's a ten-round slug gun topped with a red-dot. The stock uses two springs to reduce recoil and took a few rounds to get used to. It tames recoil so all loads feel like about 2/3's of a light target 2&3/4" shell. Nothing. Once I got familiar with the new stock, I had to improve how quickly I could rack a new round. As you can see, the gun is very front-heavy, which is really advantageous when shooting briskly at stationary or slow-moving targets. At 8#'s unloaded, it is no longer a quick or comfortable gun. Devestating firepower does require a few sacrificies so man up. Running ten rounds of Hornady 300gr ballistic-tipped sabots can quickly deliver well over 20,090 ft/lbs (!) of deadly energy downrange (American Rifleman Aug '08 p.79), and since they are zipping out of my barrel around 1800-2000fps, I am pretty sure that if they hit, damage will be done. A quick change of the choke tube and I'm back at buck, dumping 100 .32's downrange in about 8 seconds or less.

Specs: Remington 870 Express Magnum 28" smooth bore/vented rib, Remington extended rifled choke tube, Tac-Star 10-rnd mag tube, Knoxx SpecOps stock, Bushnell Holosight XLP. 50" overall when in use.
Rifle $450, choke tube $30(ebay), mag extension $50, stock $130, Holosight $350. This is a very amusing gun to shoot recreationally. Gun was not built to a spec but just kind of evolved over the past few years.

Looks like it might be fun to shoot from a sandbag, but I think it'll be a pain the the buttocks to hold/carry.

NICE! That thing just screams "get the hell out of my house".

How's the accuracy with smooth bore/rifled choke tube, as opposed to a fully rifled barrel?

Wow I would love to see you shot a zombie with that.

It is different. I like it.

One more accessory for tube magazine spring binding. A follower that feeds the spring up a post.



I am going to get a 10 to 8 round extention for my master baster and have had a spring bind up in a 8 round magazine tube.

Man, that's wicked! Not for me but still wicked!

>>How's the accuracy with smooth bore/rifled choke tube, as opposed to a fully rifled barrel?

Don't have a fully rifled barrel to compare it to, and believe me, that is a gross oversight on my part. With the current set-up, accuracy is pretty decent up to 50 yrds with all kinds of slugs and sabots. Past that, I have punched the x at 100yrds just enough times to think that some kind of accuracy could be tweaked out of this set-up, but never pursued it. I was pleased to surmise that it was CQB accurate.

It is not a sandbag rifle. For carrying, it is easy enough to hook the buttstock under the armpit and just pistol-grip it around the battlefield. Like I said earlier, you gotta man up if you're gonna carry around personal artillery.

If you want more rounds and want the mag tube to match up with the end of the barrel,contact Dave's Metal Works. He can make any length you want, he made a 12 shot tube for a guy and has the extra long springs to go with it. Great guy to do business with.

I didn't think shotguns were allowed to hold >10rnds in the PRK

[Ballistic043]

10 is the limit. at least for semi's

[ar15barrels]

I bet that gun is way too front heavy when it's loaded.
Great for posting pictures on forums.
Not good for actual use.

I thought that this thread was going to be about the real devestator.
