Any thoughts on the BL-6

[OnTheCoast]

Hey Everyone,

I'm considering picking up the BL-6 from Blueline Activities along with one or more differing length barrels. I'm just curious if anyone here has handled one from them and what the thoughts are on pricing, fit and finish etc. I understand that its basically a cut down 870, but I'm not sure what version of the 870 it is and whether the pricing is reasonable, etc. Here's the options as listed on the site:

BL 6-1 shotgun, 6.5" barrel, 2+1 shots, comes with regular Remington stock attached, front grip and Hogue pistol grip on the side. Currently; regular stock=Non restricted, pistol grip=Restricted.

Options:
BL 6-2 8.5" $975 or $999 with +1 magazine extension
BL 6-3 12.6" $975 or $999 with +2 magazine extension

BL 6 multi barrel combos:
BL6C1 6.5”, 8.5” barrels, comes with +1 magazine extension $1299
BL6C2 6.5’, 12.5” barrels, comes with +2 magazine extension $1299
BL6C3 8.5”, 12,5” barrels, comes with +1 magazine extension and +2 magazine extension $1325
BL6C4 6.5”, 8.5”, 12.5” barrels, comes with +1 magazine extension and +2 magazine extension $1599

Thanks,

OTC

are they a rem 870 or norinco grizz with a custom barrel or a something proprietary?

1200 and up seems pricey, but then again they are a niche market kinda thing.

... whether the pricing is reasonable, etc. ...

I'm sure they have their reasons.

I'm pretty sure they're based on an Express and built by Dlask. I've got a 12.5" Dlask barrel on a regular pattern 870 and that's as short as I'd want to go.

Is the 12.5 basically the shortest you can take the barrel without making some sort of mod to the mag tube?

Yes...
