Hello! I recently got into skeet, and would love to casually pursue it. Before I go buy an O/U double or something, I'd like to modify my existing 870P for the sport and take the slow approach. From what I've read I should look for a 26" vented-rib (no idea what this is) barrel with a...

Hi Guys, In late winter I installed a SureFire forend and a 2-shot magazine extension on my 870 P. I'm not sure, but I'm feeling like the front end may be a bit too heavy to move around easily in a home defense situation. Because of the forend, I've had to move to a side-mounted sling loop...

I like the light, side saddle, and sling additions - but personally feel the bayonet is kind of a trinket for any practical purposes. It just seems completely unnecessary.

I'm voting FN SLP! That's the autoloader I would get if $$ weren't an issue. Might also take a look at the Benelli M4? http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/51795 22" isn't that short!

I was reading this and thinking, "how expensive could this be for such a debate?" Holy!! I'm seeing MSRP $1,800! I had no clue - so much for ever getting one of those! the 870 will do I guess ... but boy I'd love to try out one of the M4's, I can really see the appeal.

Thank you guys very much for the responses. Shawn, the picture and link were exactly what I was looking for! Dfariswheel, the tool grip dip you mentioned sounds perfect. I'll check that out asap. As always, I appreciate it!

Hello Everyone, I just purchased a new 18.5" parkerized barrel for my 870P with a bead sight and fixed modified choke. Until now I've only used the original rifled barrel that came with the gun, which had no choke. I'm wondering 3 things: 1. Can anyone give me some advice on how to...

Thank you - easy answer!

Hi everyone, Just wondering if the receiver lock I have installed on my 870 is straining anything? Is it bad to keep the forend back as this lock demands? Is it ok to store in this position for extended periods of time? For example, I know bolt style rifles shouldn't be stored "cocked"...

This will probably be the first THR post with a footnote citation, but the book "The Tactical Shotgun" by Gabriel Suarez recommends: "With birdshot, you will have ample stopping power with reduced risks if you miss the adversary with a couple of pellets. Even if you pull the entire charge of...

I'm not familiar with the upstate NY market - only MA and NH. When I was searching, I just placed a lot of calls, and it was actually a fellow-THR member who ended up finding my used 870P, which had just been traded in by a police dept south of Boston. I'd check with small local shops, it's...

I love posts like this :) come to a shotgun forum, then ask if you should buy a shotgun haha. I did the same thing, it was a great way to get some reaffirmation! I'll hop on board with the rest - BUY it!

I picked up a used 870P last summer and have thoroughly enjoyed it since. I bought it for $400 in MA, where all prices are inflated and ridiculous because of our gun laws. Anyway, mine has synthetic stock and a 2 shot mag extension. I have a rifle sighted barrel, though I plan to switch to a...

Thank you for the helpful guide on bending the bars .. I will borrow a vice and give it a shot! Thank you again, this is a huge help.

Hi, I recently installed a new SureFire forend on my 870 Police. After installing it I noticed that the forend no longer installed smoothly into the receiver, and it took multiple tries to wiggle it in, and various combinations of pushing the shell stops (left/right) to get it in place...

Sorry I edited it to include the full parts that I read I would need. I read something saying that a normal flat-head screw driver could strip out the bit in there, and it was important to buy the right extension and bit. Obviously the 3/8 socket holder can be anything ..

Hello - searching didn't turn up anything, but I'm wondering if someone can point me in the direction of a good and relatively inexpensive tool to remove my 870P stock? I've heard it has a 3/8" bit in there, and the only tool I can find that will work so far is (the combination of)...

+1 love it!

Very interesting thread. I'd be interested to know if the recommended methods should be altered if the gun is stored in a warm area? I live in the 3rd floor of a house that gets rather toasty.
