Show Off Your Shotgun Build - Home Defense, Duty, Military....

[Toamaius]

Here is my baby. I built this for home defense and fun at range.







I did a build series on YouTube, Intro to 80 percent, only things not up yet as of 12/27/22014 are new saddle rail and red dot but will be up soon.

Here is the link.

Here are all the upgrades I did and the order I did them in.

1. Remington 870 7-shot Magazine Spring.

2. S&J Hardware Magazine Follower.

3. Wave Lock Washer (Makes it nearly impossible for cap to back off under recoil.)

4. Archangel 7 Shot Shotshell Side Saddle. (Replaced with Picatinny Saddle Rail)

5. Magpul MOE Forend.

6. Inforce WMLx(Constant On/Off, Momentary On, Strobe, Selector Switch for Switch Mode for Constant On/Off and Momentary, Strobe Disable.)

7. Carrier Latch Spring (Police/1100.)

8. New Non-MIM Extraxtor 2014 (Off 2014 model Marine Magnum/Police, features a bevel like MIM and will not cut a channel in receiver like old style.)

9. Blackhawk Specops Gen II NRS Stock.

10. Mesa Tactical Saddle Rail/Side Saddle.

11. Bushnell TRS-25 HiRise.

Questions are welcomed

Sweet Setup.
I have a 590A1 that I have yet to build up.
I have the Mesa AR Adapter. I like the MOE forend except for the lips it has on both ends.
I would prefer it more streamlined.
I'm thinking of getting a wood forend and then stripping it and staining it black.
I'll post pics if I ever get it done.

Thanks. MOE Forend, you either love it or hate it. Check out Cameron from TWANGnBANG on YouTube I really love his 590A1 build. He did a super high quality and informative build series.

I thought about using Mesa Tactical LEO stock adapter or thier flat AR adapter. Or possibly S&J Hardware's but I really like the Blackhawk stock.... I need to see how I like Urbino 2.0 if Magpul makes a shell carrier for SGA, that comes on my gun

Nice setup, how do you like the Bushnell? Have you had experience with other red dots?

My Saiga 12 Kushnapup. By the way, it's for sale.

congrats; great job putting it all together. looks very impressive and i can easily see pride of ownership. i pretty much go with the KISS principle and keep it simple and light.

I made the birdshead grip for my 12.5'' AOW, because I really like the look of wood on a shotgun. Not the best choice for home defense, but one of the best range toys I have

Cool... Great Job!

I have shot TRS-25 on AR's/AK's as well as my buddies Aimpoint H1. As far as pump shotguns the TRS-25 performed better than I expected.

The first time I shot it, I must have not tighten screws properly because after 150 rounds of birdshot and 75 slugs and 00 buckshot the mounting screw came loose.

The next time I went out I used light duty (pink) lock tight and have had zero problems since then. I find a red dot on a 12 gauge very fast on targets, maybe not as fast as a bead, but point of aim/point of impact reference is awesome. Unless your bead is zeroed at your desired range a red dot is great.

Adjustments are so easy on this micro red dot. I find a dime in the pocket very useful.

Nothing too special. Magpul furnuture, inforce light, and cheap stock saddle

Is that stippling on that SGA forend? Looks good how does it feel? I run mag grips textured stick ons. They work, just not a life time part.

I am super excited my baby is getting a face lift. I decided to go another route. I sent gun to Vang Comp Systems for about $900.00 worth of work.

VCS Barrel w/Ports
VCS Ghost Sight Set w/Tritium Front.
VCS Detachable Side Ammunition Carrier
VCS Big Dome Safety.

I can't wait to get it all back.

Selling the Mesa Tactical 91630 that is on my gun. (See picture to see Side Saddle/Rail) asking 75 FIRM.

Yes stippling, done myself. Feels great, really grippy compared to the handguard out of the box which I think is really slick. Here is a better view:
And full disclosure I am trading stippling for ammo in the thread in my signature.

Nice builds guys. Been wanting to get some new toys and the wife has been requesting a shotgun. Found a smoking deal on this 590 A1 special purpose 18.5" guess no one was a fan of the kryptek.

Thinking of ordering magpuls stealth grey furniture to get the lop down for my wife. Any recommendations on addons? Cheek riser necessary for ghost rings or a trs25?

Wll, if you have a rail mount TRS-25 is well worth it. Why not both?

I can't wait to get my gun back from Vang Comp Systems. Getting their full service minus their extension. Factory 6+1 for the win.

Nice guns gents! Wish there was more of an aftermarket for my M4!
