a little help for a hd shotty

[ocharry]

hi guys,,, i been thinking of getting one of the new 1100 tactical shot guns,,with the 22" barrel,,, but i already have an 870 and a slug barrel,, and an 1100 and a slug barrel for it too,,, so i think i'm going to get a mag. extention for them and save the money of getting another shot gun,,, so the question is,,,, i would like to change out the wood,,, the 870 is a trap grade and it does have nice looking wood,,, the 1100 is a magnim and the wood is kinda nice,,, if i change the furniture to synthetic who makes the best bang for the buck,,,i don't think i want a pistol grip stock,,, i been shot gunning for a long time and i don't like the way they feel,, or handle on a shot gun,,,so what do you guys think??? :D although i really like the looks of that new 1100 tac. :rolleyes:

Rather than changing one that you already obviously enjoy, unless you simply cannot afford it, I suggest simply buying what you want. Like Jello, there is always room for more.:D

Oh, welcome to THR!

BTW, ever heard of Greentop Mo? Near Kirksville. My grandfather grew up there.

Why not see if you can find a used Mossberg 500 or LEO trade-in. I bought a new Mossberg 500 Persuader Cruiser a couple of years ago for less than $300. I think Pachmayer sells the stock and forearms for about anything made, how about Brownells.

thanks guys for the help,,,, pistol toter,,,,well i have looked in all the local gun shops and they don't have anything in stock,,, and i have checked brownells and it's gona be around $100 or so dollars each to change the ones i have,,,,oldnamvet,,,that's probably what will ultimatly happen,, we moved here about six years ago and these shot guns haven't been out of the safe,,, that's why i thought about changing them,,, ahhh there was a day when it was shot guns all the time ,,,seems now it's rifles and hand guns,,thought about just selling the 870 and getting the new 1100,,, then had this brain storm,,, since i already have them ,,, as far as greentop..... don't know where it is ,,but i do know where kirksville is:o

imho; reffering a fine firearm such as an 870 or 1100 as a shotty is insulting the to firearm.

Check out the synthetics for sale on ebay - usualy one can find a set for $50 or less . Same place for mag extensions and short barrels if your patient you can have all you need for about $100 - $125 per gun . (stocks, short barrel, extension)

Around here you can find police trade in 870's for around $150 so that's another thing to look for. They don't typically have the extended magazines and have wood furniture, but you won't be mesing up any pretty wood.
