870 build

[frumpy]

Just need to change out the forend, I have a blackhawk laying around but might grab a magpul one. 870 Wingmaster, Ace Skeleton stock, high tube adapter with hogue grip, Mesa rail/shell carrier with sparc and the high mount, +1 mag extension, no jam follower and 14" barrel.

looks good.

Hmm

 

[Terapr0]

looks good, although I don't like the huge misalignment between the stock and the receiver. If their profiles matched up correctly I'd say it's perfect. Definitely unique though

I really prefer a collapsable stock over the fixed one. It looks way to long.

 

[sharpsway]

That's a pretty good build! 10x better with the Blackhawk forend on it, but how does the stock feel? It's a cool design but it's looks pretty long, but to each their own.

 

[skoal]

Optic looks really high and the stock looks really long whats your oal? How you liking that hogue grip I hated mine and couldnt get rid of it fast enough.

i am curious , is that one of the armoured car guns ( 870s ) that were seling awhile back for 150 ?

 

[Trotter]

looks good. Is your cheek weld ok, that sight is about 2-3 inches way high, but if it fits you, good.
i have an 870 with Knoxx spec ops, put a rifled IC bbl on her. works fine, after i polished up the rough edges on the internals (2012 brand new receiver).

Those are wingmasters.

 

[Gunexpert007]

Those are wingmasters.

I thought the forend wood looks like it came from an older Wingmaster 870 Police model.......it looks quite worn....

There are very few AR stock adapters that will accept a fixed stock so my options were limited. I wanted the Ace skeleton or ultra light in "entry" length but have not been able to find one new or used yet (still looking)

The optic looks high but I wanted this set up to feel similar to an AR with the high tube adapter

Yup. Best $150 I've spent in a while.





I also got a deal on a heavy profile dlask barrel I am thinking about running but I don't want to lose the +1 extension

 

[slipper]

Looks like you had a plan. It looks bad§.

 

[redbeard870]

I think it looked pretty badass with the wooden forend.

 

[dogzilla]

I guess to each his own, but that's easily one of the ugliest setups I've ever seen. Sorry.

 

[Gunexpert007]

I kind of liked the old school looks of those Wingmaster 870 Police Shotguns......maybe just redoing the wood and cleaning the metal would have been cool . There are alot of tactical style shotguns around....not so many old school armoured car shot guns still kicking....it would have been a unique shooter with history...

[Gunexpert007]

Just for you Gunexpert007

Thank you....I guess I am just an old school guy in a high teck world . Luckily , I do have a Smith and Wesson M-3000 police ( OPP overrun purchase ) shotgun and two Winchester Defenders to hold me over . I also have a couple of modern 870s , but they do not have the old school charm of the Wingmasters....

 

[dogzilla]

I like the traditional looking shotguns as well. I set one up with the ar stock and couldn't get it off quick enough ( I think owning a wingmaster for 40 years, it's just what feels natural in the hand). I will admit that I am thinking about the red dot more and more because the old eyes aren't what they used to be. But I definitely have a weakness for Wingmasters
