You will have to wait for a 10 inch version cuz it won't fit on a 8.5 inch mag tube ( or whatever they call it on a DM model ). I found that out .
We are having trouble getting donor guns in. Seems the Canadian distributors are not getting enough for the country so we may have to go dark and order from the source. I do have 2 units in the shop that I will be converting shortly , making one a 8.5" Shorty and one a 12.5" or 14" version for display guns. Also, I know it has been a long wait but we are almost done the latest run of both 12.5" & 14" 870 barrels. Hang on just a bit longer and we will get there.
Anyone in the Lower Mainland has some machine shop skills and needs a job hit me up. . .
To confirm the math:
- 12 inch for stock
- 8.5 inch barrel
- 6.5 inch for the 870 recever?
= 27 overall?
Correct but iirc it’s 26.5” at is shortest collapsed length, I did the math with my 12.5” grizzly with a Mesa Tactical Leo stock. With the 8.5” barrel it’s 26.5 or 27” in overall lengt, that’s with the buffer tube screwed in as far as it could go properly indexed and no recoil pad on the butt stock. Add a breacher or a recoil pad or unscrew the buffer tube one turn and you are well over 26” with a 8.5” barrel.
Don't factor in a breacher into OAL unless it's welded to the barrel.
A flashlight or laser mount that could thread into the unused mag tube would be a good use for the empty space.
We swapped the factory 18" barrel on one of the new DM shotties with one of our 12.5" barrels..what do you think ? This was for a customer that called the shop and asked for it specifically to come with the hardwood stock set. I think it looks very retro-mod, like it.

Next up I am making myself a 10" version with some pimp parts. Stand by and I will post the pics in a few weeks.

Whatever the minimum barrel length is with an AR stock adapter...id love to see that worked upThanks again for keeping the momentum.
