Put this together today after getting the parts delivered from Wolverine. I saw a similar setup somewhere online and dug the look so tried it.

It's a DA Grizzly with a Mesa Tactical Urbino 870 stock and Magpul MOE forend.

(Well technically its a Norinco PD12 receiver with a 12" Grizzly barrel. This particular model usually comes fitted with a 14" barrel for some reason)

The stock is very comfortable. 12.5" LoP, multiple sling options, limbsaver recoil pad. I was worried I may need the Mesa cheek riser version because of the GR sights, but its perfect.

Forend needed some sanding since the Grizzly forend tube is a shave bigger than the standard 870 one. I also painted it ultra flat black because it was originally FDE.
An 870 mag cap was also added to allow for proper fitment of the forend.

Future plans for it are an upgraded spring/follower and maybe a side saddle.

Undecided, but I may add a MOE MVG to the forend that I have laying around for an extra hand position option.

Awesome!

I planned to do a build exactly like that. Looks great, I'll be setting up one similarly.

Thanks for sharing.

Cool! Look forward to it! I only found a few vendors with the Urbino so let me know if you have a hard time.

That looks amazing! I may have to do something similiar with mine. I did just purchase the Urbino Stock for my 870 Tactical so looking forward to getting it installed and trying er out!
 
I put a Magpul MVG in the second forend slot and I gotta say, its mighty comfortable.
I left enough space so I can still hold the forend too and use the MVG as a handstop.

Shot a few boxes yesterday with it. I'm not sure its quite my thing...it may go on the EE.
Looks great and a fun build though.
 
Looks good. I really like thr Mesa stock, but it needs to be 'solidified' with foam.

Also... I never understood the purpose of ghost ring sights on a short barrel shot gun.
 
What didn't you like?

I guess I just prefer non pistol grip stocks in the end. Still not totally sold on the Norinco stuff yet either. I took my two Grizzlies out for the first time so I was able to get a better overall feel for them the other day.

Dang I'd be jealous if I didn't have a ba one myself ;). To all ya'll that got em how is that Magpul forend? Sturdy?
 
yeah, just thinking of options for them.. just not a fan of vert grips ;)

I'm not completely sold on them either. I took the grip off after one outing because using the pistol grip and vertical grip together made it not feel like a shotgun at all.
