First off I got a heck of a discounted deal on the nifty Hunter Orange Mag-pul furniture for my 870. Only later did I find that at least in Police circles that is typically reserved for "less Lethal" ordinance. Whoops! I'll paint it another color one day. Maybe pink.

I have been modding this old 1100. I traded the 30" VT full magnum barrel as I did not want to destroy a "good" useful barrel. This 30" 2-3/4" full barrel was shot with steel shot. It was on an original 1963 shotgun. About 4" from the muzzle you can't really see it but you can feel a little bulge. I feel better about the prospect of chopping the tube to my suit. The 870 has a custom 23.5" barrel and screw chokes. I'd not call it compact, it's more handy. But the 9-shot extension fits under it nicely.

I'm looking at either 18" or a 20" chop. My plans are to put a high-vis front sight back on it. The 20" would allow a 2-3 shot extension but I'd probably not do that, 5 is plenty so I'm leaning more 18". It's silly but a short barrel with a front sight reinstalled is worth more than a 30" full choke plain barrel.

*Excuse the Porcupine eggs scattered about. A real nuisance.

  - I really like that M12. So classic and still good - WB, 2022-01-30, 09:47
    - The M12 was mainly bought to goof with, as well. But, - Southern Boy, 2022-01-30, 09:53
      - As for safety orange stocks, quite a few hunters - Southern Boy, 2022-01-30, 10:01
        Yeah Ceracote or a like material would be best. - WB, 2022-01-30, 11:39
        Sounds good to me. I thought about plastic paints - Southern Boy, 2022-01-30, 12:48
