I went a bit shotgun crazy over the last couple of months
1st one is my old 11-87
Cut 28" bbl down to 22" and rethreaded
Nordic extension
2nd one is my M2
21"bbl
Nordic+5 extension so I can carry 9+1
Nordic bolt handle
Nordic bolt release button
welded up lifter
and I opened up the feed area
and this is an used police wingmaster
cut bbl to 18" and threaded
reduced LOP stock
XS tritium front bead
All barrel work was done by Pete aka Gunkat at Rose Action Sports and I must say that he is a great guy and does great work. I’ve sent a couple more people his way and they have all been extremely happy.
Next thing on the list is a surefire foreend for the 870
On that M2, is the barrel a factory length? Or did you have it cut down? I’m getting into 3-gun and need a 22" or so for tactical div. I heard you couldn’t cut Benelli barrels due to the chrome lining… Also, can you put an M2 barrel in an M1? Mines and HK import.
I’m not going so much hog wild on shotguns but I am giving my 870 a very special workover (upgraded internals) and external parts in the configuration I’ve always wanted but never been able to afford. I haven’t shot it in about a year, so it’s time to rehab it and make it a favorite again.
Thanks. I have the Nordic +5 but I haven’t installed it yet. I did read that depending on how much you cut the spring, you may get -1. Mine is also a M2 Field 21".
Now you need to get some slugs and go shotgun wild on some hogs!
I have been looking at getting an 870 again of late simply to see what some rifled slugs will do to a piggy. Nothing like soft-tissue ballistic testing you can eat when you are done!
