Shotgun Over-haul
Finished modifing this for a friend who has wanted me to do one for quite awhile. Started as older 870 Magnum, has the upgraded all metal trigger group and I stripped the parts and commercial EN plated for rust prevention and to make the parts very slick (added benefit of EN plating is how smooth it makes everything.) Custom Extended Stainless steel Safety Selector, Made a custom mount for the shell carrier and plated to match weapon, Modified to work with the factory LEO Remington Metal top folding stock, modified the top folder to work with the vent rib barrel, MAde a custom sling mount for the Top folder pivot point and Plated to match weapon, Modified the enhanced Remington forearm to work with the shell carrier and re-stained to match, Took the Vent rib barrel and shortened to 18 inches and re-crowned barrel added the fiber optic front triangle sight, Added Plus two magazine extension and wilson spring with scattergun follower, Made a 1.5 inch webbing sling and added sling keepers. Stripped and prepped all metal and plated entire weapon and sub components in commercial EN plating and gave it a satin non reflective finish. MY pictures do it no justice. Truly did turn out great and the action is silky smooth.
Figured you guys might like a look.Last edited by Qind; November 14th, 2009 at 09:31 PM.

Re: Shotgun Over-haul
very nice!
I think a wood stock or wood pistol grip (do they make a wood pistol grip??) would make that thing look even sexier.

Re: Shotgun Over-haul
Thanks for all the kind words on the work guys, this one sadly went to a new owner and I'm working on a custom 11-87 build similar to this build.
