^^^ Details man! Details!
What's the gold stuff on the action bars and bolt body? Cerekote or some type of plating?
It's TiN Coating. My camera is out of Wack. The gun is black not a dusty gray and the TiN ain't as bright in the flesh.
Pretty stoked with the results.
Will consider removing the ridges. Good idea. And thanks, Iam real happy with it.
The barrel is full VCS. I also had a few other little mods done. Casey and Pete do exceptional work for sure. Use the price list as a guide and throw any idea at them.

Sorry to derail.
Anyhow, got me Mossy back from Casey and threw the Raptor on it. Feels pretty good although I haven't fired with it in yet.
Any fit / finish problems with your's?
Dude, that looks f@cking awesome! You'll like the Raptor grip too... you can see some faint marks and creases on my grip, but it's a polymer piece so I wasn't expecting anything that beautiful. Fit is perfect, strong like a club.
Thanks fella.
The grip is not flush at the bottom, around the trigger group.
Sticks out, you can feel it on the palm and middle finger.

a little sanding will fix that .
Just a suggestion , run some grip tape along the sides ,just the sides .

I had the VCS done on a 590A1 20"bbl and impressed with 00Buck groupings @ 25yrds. I'd be interested in hearing your results with a 14"bbl.
I have a Raptor grip dedicated to my Moss JIC. It's very manageable with hi-brass loads but for consistent accuracy I use the 590A1 with the full stock.

Mine is uniform and flush... I'm sure a sanding will fix that, as the polymer is quite thick anyway.
Definitely a custom or homemade job from an old stock.
Sounds like I may have a potential project.
There is a guy in Thailand out of all places that whittles up a nice looking birds-head style grip (with matching fore end) and does ship to Canada through flea bay.
How they look
Search it up, don't think im allowed to post links to there.

Damn that looks good! That's the short forend too for the 14" model...
I can't find the auction... you can post the link, just take the http and www. out. I see the 870 version but not the Mossberg:

870 stocks can be bought pretty cheap specially when they are old and beat up... If you make your own you can make it a bit longer then a speedfeed that way it will be over 26" with a 14" barrel .
Pretty easy to do but you will need to by an appropriate bolt and then glue a smaller cylinder of hard wood inside the channel for the original bolt to a t as a stop for the head of the new bolt.
Drill the hardwood out to the diameter of the bolt's threaded section, add a washer and you are done!
