    Default Remington Express Home Defense

    Remington Express Home Defense - 5549

    Thinking about getting one. Price is right ($300), but a couple that I don't like about it: Cylinder Choke (not RemChoke), 4 round magazine capacity. Also, not sure if receiver & drilled & tapped for scope base/picatiny rail mounting.

    I don't mind modding the gun to get those features, but imagine that I will spend more modding than if I just buy what I need.

    So what is the cheapest way to get an 870 w/ a 6 round magazine, RemChoke & drilled & tapped reciever. Am I looking a at $500 plus?

    I can get a picatinny rail for $20 (but would have to machine the receiver myself - I assume there are no holes drilled & tapped), & a magazine extension for $20. So I guess that it comes down to figuring out if a RemChoke barrel is worth $150.
