Hey gents,

Been wanting to get a 14" barrel kit for my 590A1 as the 20" one doesn't make it the most handy (or lightweight) bush/camp gun.

Just wondering is there any difference in barrels and hardware between buying just the 14" barrel kit or getting a Shockwave and swapping it over to my 590A1 receiver? I probably would end up selling the 20" barrel and or other receiver.

OR....

Just saying screw it and buying a Grizzly or Churchill in 12.5" for an even smaller package. As long as they go bang :cool:

Thanks all
 
Go with the factory option. I've seen 20" bbl sets sit for months cause everyone either has one already or can just go buy a new shotgun with what they want. The 14" kits are really the only kit with much value due to being less common.
 
Go with factory if you can, and keep in mind the pump sleeve is shorter so if you've got something you want to swap over it'll need to fit.

Good point. I'm just over complicating things. Haha

Ah damn. Yeah. Makes sense. I should know this as I've seen them in the EE with multiple bumps.

The grizzly is good, but lots of Mossberg and 870’s available in 14” now ... I suppose the older grizzlies have all metal parts as opposed to some of the newer 870’s. I’m not impressed with the durability and parts compatibility with the Turkish shotguns. The grizzly is a tank and weighs like one too. YMMV
 
The only thing not metal on an 870 is the trigger guard. Like it or not, that polymer trigger guard is likely more robust than the metal one, which is compressed metal powder or something like that, not solid aluminum as everyone assumes.

The majority of the extra weight on the grizzly is the boat anchor of a stock set it comes with from the factory, I’ve swapped out a couple and iirc putting a synthetic 870 stock on sheds about a pound of weight. I weighed them before and after but never bothered to write it down, even with a wood stock it’s noticeably lighter.

The Churchill and Canuck did not inspire confidence when I handled them and last thing I would want is not trust my tools when it matters. Still have yet to get a Grizzly in hand but people that have them seem to really like them.

Was not aware of the trigger guard metal but wouldn't doubt it at all

Good to know. If I went the Grizzly route furniture would be the first to go.

It's a matter of domestic retailers just getting supply from other countries and renaming them. The Grizzly is the rebranded Norinco 870 clone, which has been a great alternative and is actually a clone, versus the Turkish stuff that just looks alike.
