I have thought about LEGALLY building a 12 GA Remington 870 Express SBS VS buying a Remington 870 P 14 inch. Here are my thoughts.
1. Buy the 870 synthetic Express with 26 inch screw choke vent rib hunting barrel. (I do hunt/shoot at range clays)..even brand new these are very reasonable and good hunting guns for the woods.
2. Get the receiver engraved by a Class 3 Dealer/Manufacturer who offers this service in TN....and of course fill out paperwork for ATF.
3. When tax stamp is received get a 14 inch 870 factory barrel with sights hopefully a good clean used one.
I think with that set up I'd have cost of engraving 75 bucks...325 for shotgun...tax stamp 200...and whatever a good clean used 14 inch barrel goes for. I could have a hunting/clays fun gun and a short gun all in one cheaper than getting the 870 P synthetic 14 inch (they seem hard to find and expensive) and getting a 26 inch barrel.
What are your thoughts?
