Shotgun Bandoliers/Slings & Stainless 870 Bolt

**Misery Loves Shotguns** · July 21st, 2010, 08:15 PM

I cut up a bandolier that I had lying around and sewed 12 of the loops onto my Butler Creek shotgun sling last year and just did another one last night. It took a few hours but it was worth it. I'm waiting on a new (SUPER SLOWLY SHIPPED) Charles Daly Tactical Autoloader to arrive at my FFL and then one of these will go on it.

I was going to buy a replacement bolt for my Remington 870 but I thought I could just do it myself. I used some fine sandpaper and a green scrub sponge to finish it. It's a small change but I like it so I wanted to show it off.

Nice sewing, but dang are those going to be heavy! The 870 looks pretty sweet too.

I've had one on my Benelli for about a year now and it is extremely heavy but I got used to it. I have 12 shells on the sling, 8 on the stock, 8 on the Mesa Tactical sureshell on the reciever and 7 in the magazine tube.
