Hello the highroad shot gunners! This message post is in regards to the Remington 870 combo. The rifle comes with a 20" rifled barrel and a 26" smooth bore barrel. The gun in question can be found here...
http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/shotguns/model-870/model-870-express-combos.aspx
The intended use of the rifle will be for deer hunting hence the rifle barrel, and with the option of using the smooth bore barrel for hunting birds and shooting clay and what not I think that would be cool.
My question is or clarification is how easily would it be to to convert the rifle from a field rifle either deer hunting your bird hunting or clay shooting to multipurpose home defense rifle.
I see that the rifle comes with wood furniture so when I got home from the field couldn't I change the furniture ? or something? slide either the 26" or 20" out and install a 18" barrel or something and then kep it by my bed stand.
Do this even sound completely possible?
Price range for the build it somewhat up in the air cause I could build it or piece it together like the 18" barrel then furniture... I'm also wondering can I add a magazine extension to increase the capacity, I think the 870 combo holds 5? And others hold 8?
Please reply post if you have a 870 combo any stories , or advice.
I like the 870 and look forward to one being I'm my home. Thanks high road readers and god bless...
