I'm interested in getting my first shotgun (I have shot before, and currently own an AR, looking to add something that will be a little more PC for hunting), and i am primarily looking at the Remington 870 Express combo package with a 28" Remchoke Vent Rib and a 20" Improved cylinder Rifle Sighted barrel. MSRP is $436, Dealer price is $320, and Wally World sells Remington guns at approximately dealer price in my area. (I am looking at the first package on this page: http://www.remington.com/firearms/shotguns/870excmb.htm)
My primarily interests:
Sports involving clay pigeons (using the 28" barrel)
Home Defense (using the 20" barrel, my AR15 is a little over-penetrating for my area)
Probably deer and bird hunting in the future.
I would like to add a 3 shot magazine extension and a 6 shot side saddle after doing the appropriate modifications. Also, i plan on changing the safety.
Am i able to use the original magazine parts (spring, cap, etc) to revert the gun back to the 4 shot capacity after drilling/removing the tube dimples?
How much do i have to remove from the left side of the slide to use the 6 shot magazine extension?
What do i have to purchase to change the safety? Just the safety, or do i need the detents and such?
Is this a good setup/price for my applications?
