I love post your X firearm threads. People always have awesome things and it helps me get great ideas for future builds. :D

Here's my 870.

M870Tactical.jpg


Bought a "870 Tactical" in 2009. It's a basic police model 870 except it came with the 2 shot extension, the XS ghost ring sights with the raised front sight and with the drilled and tapped receiver with the rail. Added all the other parts later on. I'm a short man at 5'7" and the telescoping AR-15 stock helps out a lot during competitive shooting when I'm wearing vests and/or heavy clothing...

Magpul came out with a line of 870 accessories. The grip angle on their new stock looks exactly like what I've been looking for. I love Magpul products and I've always wanted a new front end for my 870 and I'm part of the "tacticool" crowd (please don't hate!) so a Magpul stock and front end in FDE will be on my 870 soon... I'm keeping the telescoping stock and pistol grip so I'll have the maximum amount of options depending on what I'm doing with it. I also have an LEO top-folding stock if I really need the 870 to be short.

I'm looking for a red dot or holographic sight for it but there are so many out there. I don't have a lot of experience with different kinds and sizes so I'm still figuring out what kind of sight I really need for a 18.5" tacticool shotgun.

What kind of AR stock adapter is that? I just found out this week that the magpul UBR stock I ordered wont with properly on my NEA adapter. Doesn't leave enough room for my hand before the grip. Im really disappointed cause I love the UBR stock, but I cant seem to figure out a feasible way tot get it to work on an 870

I noticed on SFRC they have their S2AR stock link which looks like it mimics the AR lower.... Also, if you can't use the UBR I'll gladly take it off your hands ;)

Hey, Stevo... I plan to shorten my 870 wood stock as well to around that length but what recoil pad did you end up using? That's a good fit you got there

It's the one that was on the wood stock when I bought it. I trimmed it to size with a sanding wheel on a die grinder. That technique will work for most any pad.

To be honest, I screwed the pad on after I shortened the stock and sanded the pad to fit while it was installed. A proper job would be to mark the area to be removed by tracing onto the pad, and taking it off to sand it down, but I'm lazy.;)

I just got my NEA barrel in the last yesterday. How did yours fit with your wingmaster? I didn't get a chance to really look at it yet but it did not just slide on.

I had to relieve the inside of the fore-end to allow for the greater thickness of the barrel. Other than that it fits like it should.

Does anyone know where to pick up a set of 870 police style wood? I love my Grizzly but the Chi wood on it sucks.

Try Brownells, they have replacement wood stocks or put up a WTB in the EE

Used LE stock and forend from Numrich. They both looked a little rough when they arrived, but this is after an afternoon of stripping and refinishing.
