Dlask Arms Rem 870 Shorties Thread

This is Beeron, not Bill,
I was just using his question/answer to reiterate my own.
I know you don't thread them for chokes normally.
but I have and have had several shotgun barrels that were choked as the standard with no threading for removeable chokes.
These are usually IMP CYL in my experience, CYL being more or less a smooth straight tube as I understand it.
IMP CYL being reduced toward the muzzle somewhat.
Before removeable chokes this is more or less the standard right? you bought a shotgun with a certain "Choke" for the game you were hunting, nice tight patterns for quail and more open patterns for geese and ducks?
I had a 20" rem 870 barrel with smooth bore and open sights (not that old) that was IMP CYL and it beat out every other barrel by a significant margin in pattering buck shot.

I think it is safe to assume that these barrels you are offering will all be CYL, especially if they are cut downs of anything longer.
I think I have my answer is what I'm saying.

Beeron, I'm sorry but I assumed you would have read my post and infered that yes, these are a cylinder bore. As I mentioned we sell these first and foremost as a bear defence gun and this means slugs and double ought buck for the most part. You *can use and imp cyl choke for some slugs but our advice is since the guns have a TEN INCH barrel and that pissed off lump of fur and teeth are barrelling down on you at what will seem an ungodly speed you won't exactly have time to group those shots. You will be lucky to remember to switch off the safety and pull the trigger before you become bear poop.

And our barrels are not 'cut downs' ,we make them 100% from scratcch which is the reason per Canadian law that we can make them any length we want. ( ;

Does the 8.5 inch model come with a drilled/tapped receiver to mount a rail or is it irons only for all the options available? I wouldn't mind getting the 8.5 inch with the ability to throw a micro red dot and have the bead as a backup.

Negative. We can drill and tap the top of the recevier to the factory Remington pattern but we do charge $90.00 for this. A solid upgrade, i do all of mine this way and add the rail.

Good to know.

Maybe I'd just stick with the irons and the 12in hogue option. Just have a rudimentary tiny hiker gun. I was thinking the ghost ring sights had huge wings but looking up the trijicon ones I see they are very minimal.

I have a 14” done this way and I love it. I’m 6’3 and done like being able to put my hands in front of the barrel when it’s shouldered. Had a 12.5 barrel, sold it and bought a 14”.

I should say though, there’s not a lot of sight radius in a 8.5 inch.
