Okay guys, I found a BRAND NEW Remington 870 Express Magnum with sythetic furniture and 18 inch barrel. I am currently "upgrading" an older 870 Express Magnum. See what you think of what I'm doing.
First...the older one.
1. Replaced the 28 inch barrel with an 18 1/4 from Mossberg built to Remi specs. Great Barrel.
2. Speed Feed pistol grip buttsock with 13 inch LOP (Full stock). Fore end.
3. Having the barrel back bored and ported for recoil.
4. Install a Browning "Gel" recoil pad to replace the hard rubber one.
5. (MAY DO THIS, haven't decided yet.) Ghost rings or some type of rifle sights.
6. 7 Shot extension tube.
7. Heat Sheild.
My new Remington will have all the above except MAYBE the heat sheild. However, I will have to file down the magazine tube indentions to put the Mag extension on it.
May eventually get a Speed Feed or Choate side folding stock. I know it will be brutal, but this will be a "special case" gun locked in the back of my truck cab for "special needs".
I'd rather have a folder than just my pistol.
Can you guys think of or recommend anything else?
The folder shotty may be a 20ga. or a .410.
