Remington 870 – Old School Riot Gun Project

blgoode has posted very interesting information and photos of his Remington 870 project on Remington 870 Forum:

Snagged an older 870 Express that I wanted to set up as a home use gun. This gun has the aluminum trigger guard, upgraded follower, non MIM Extractor and doesn’t have the dimples in the magazine tube.

First I ordered an 18.5″ IC Barrel.

Length of pull is too long for me to comfortably shoulder so it’s time to chop.
