8.5" barreled 870 ((Big Pics))

My norc will be reborn at some point. ;)

I am thinking 10", only for the added shell capacity. Tritium ghost rings, hogue 12" LOP butt stock, good to go. :D
 
hey is it posible to get the door breeching thingy added to the muzzle ?
and whats it cost to get 870 done up with the 10" gear ?

If a bear just chewed his way into your tent, I think you would be happy with the one shot you might get off. Pretty handy to swing this thing around in a canoe or a tent. The fact that it is handy means there is a better chance that you would have it as opposed to "dang shotty is too damn long, think I'll leave it in the truck"

The other thing about 2 shots in the tube is it's legal for ontario grouse hunting:D

So you have a gun for ON bird hunting, bear protection with slugs, or short range deer in the thick stuff. Plus with the ability to shoulder fire it, you'll be able to aim more accurately than with a pistol gripped shotgun of the same overall length. :)

only if the gun was originally a restricted to start with.

Incorrect. You can make a rem 870 into a restricted firearm as the barrel is a factory barrel, but you have to re-register it as such and it cannot be turned back into non-rest.

i think you are mixed up. i spent 2 months trying to do just that. ain't possible. the firearm has to start life as a restricted then go to non. can never go back to restricted.

i started with the CFC going to their top firearms tech (like they are anything special) then to the head firearm forensic guy at the RCMP.
 
Last I checked questar was saying you could buy a krinker kit to make a 10/22 restricted. Its all a matter of not actually cutting down the gun but rather installing factory parts that makes the decision. Thats the way I understood it.
 
I am with PW on this.

It is legal to convert a firearm in "the less lethal ;)" direction, usually through a barrel swap. Seems you can't go the other way though.:(

Even putting a folding stock on your 14" 870 can create a prohibited firearm.

Just keep it over 660mm.;)

Very cool shottee...:eek: ...:D


So obviously a pistol grip would work but takes away from its compactness, it their any other forward hand grip for this? How hard/is it possible to modify a standard fore stock to work?:confused:

I had a restricted Krinker. I don't have the fart # right now cause I sold it. Because it was a "Factory" customization, no problem re-registering it as restricted.

You CAN make a restricted 870, because it's through factory parts. You're not modifying anything on the shotgun, other then swapping factory parts.

I was EVEN told you can go back to non-restricted (same as a jungle carbine (or something) going from restricted to non-restricted after swapping the barrel for a longer one)

when i talked with the mighty RCMP they kept reading to me chapter and verse about the firearms law. specifically making a non shorter than the majic 660mm is a creation of a prohibitted firearm.

"prohibited firearm"


"prohibited firearm" means

(a) a handgun that

(i) has a barrel equal to or less than 105 mm in length, or

(ii) is designed or adapted to discharge a 25 or 32 calibre cartridge,

but does not include any such handgun that is prescribed, where the handgun is for use in international sporting competitions governed by the rules of the International Shooting Union,

(b) a firearm that is adapted from a rifle or shotgun, whether by sawing, cutting or any other alteration, and that, as so adapted,

(i) is less than 660 mm in length, or

(ii) is 660 mm or greater in length and has a barrel less than 457 mm in length,

(c) an automatic firearm, whether or not it has been altered to discharge only one projectile with one pressure of the trigger, or

(d) any firearm that is prescribed to be a prohibited firearm;
