Here's mine. It's a Rem 870 Magpul edition, born October 2013. My additions include the following: Magpul angled fore grip (drilled extra hole in rear of Magpul forend to allow fore grip to be installed as far back as possible), MOE cantilever picatinny rail also to attach Streamlight TLR-1 HL, SGA receiver sling mount, Rail Sling Attachment (drilled extra hole in forend to fit Magpul picatinny rail in front of angled fore grip), MS3 Multi-Mission Sling, Mesa Tactical Shotshell Ammo Carrier, as well as several internal upgrades. A few of the best features of the Remington 870 Express Tactical Magpul shotgun are the Cerakote coating, the XS rear ghost ring sight and the one piece 6 shell magazine.

I'm having problems finding the correct tritium front sight to fit the shotgun. If anyone is interested in helping me find the correct front sight please check out my post under "Accessories and Upgrades."

One last word. I would like to mention here that I have read most of Vitaly's book "Remington 870 Guide" and I find it very enjoyable as far as very insightful. It has helped me decide upon some of my upgrades, and how to do them. I could use a book like Vitaly's for every gun I own. Also, excellent, top-notch website. Thanks Vitaly!

Very nice! I like the Hogue overmold furniture and the single-point sling. Cool shot what with the spade as an ad-hoc gun stand by the tent!

Personally, I don't like six or eight-shot side-saddles. I opt for just a four shot. Also, my shells are brass side down because that's how I learned back in the day. :roll:

thanks for the pics. ;)

I agree. Nice, straight forward build (my favorites).

Just a question about brass orientation in side saddles: DaveC, with your brass oriented towards earth, in a "no time to reload the tube" would you be feeding the receiver from underneath?

My brass is loaded the same way. It's the way I've always been taught. It makes tactical loading a lot easier. Pull down the shell, slide it under the receiver, into the gun. It's a lot quicker than puling the brass from the top.

Thanks guys. I like to keep it simple.

A little detail on my side saddle rounds orientation. They are all slugs. So that means I will be port loading them if i need them. So I turn the gun on its side and pull a round with my left hand. Then i sweep it into the port and run the action forward in one motion. It would be tough to pull them if they were brass down because they'd be pointing off to the right once the guns on its side. The way its setup in the pictures I would be running a chest rig full of 00 buck to keep the tube fed.

If they were my sole reloads and were 00 buck for feeding the tube, running them brass down would make more sense.
