Some Remington 870 mod questions

Try a bandolier instead of the sling with shells in it. You can keep it hanging on your headboard, then when needed flop it over your neck/shoulder and off you go. Then you can shoot holes in your drywall til the cows come home!:D
 
I concur with Strazznah, forget the sling. They are for: toting your field gun around all day and part of the kit of a military match rifle. For HD use, a sling is just something to get snagged in the darkness.
 
Another stock option is to use a youth stock on it as it will shorten your LoP. They can be had rather inexpensively if you look around. While it may not be as snazzy as the M-16 adjustable looking stock it will provide much more recoil suppression than a folder stock will
 
Forget all that crap. The only thing I would add is a Vang Big Head Safety and a good r3/limbsaver recoil pad if it doesn't already have one.
 
Best Mod.
Enough to last about 3 to 4hrs.

I prefer solid stocks, preferably made from quality wood.

But if you really want to change the stock, I would recommend a quality stock made by manufacturers such as knoxx, speedfeed, etc. I believe knoxx has a folding stock.

Try to stay away from ATI products, they're not known for producing indestructible products.

My friends have had good luck with the Mako forends. They come with 3 rails and from what I have seen (about 500 bird shots) they seem to be rather durable.

No laser sights, in fact, I wouldn't even recommend fiber optic or tritium sights. Just point and shoot. If you can hit a clay 25+ yards away, you can definitely hit a man sized target within 10 yards, or however big your property is.


No slings either, especially one with shell holders.

If you really want extra shells on the shotgun, buy shell holders that attach to the stock, or if you can, find a quality one (Vang comp, etc.) that attaches to the receiver. NO ATI. My friend's ATI shell holder snapped after about 100 shots.

As for extensions, Remington, Choate, Tacstar, Wilson Combat, Vang Comp, etc.

I would not recommend anything more than +2.


Hope that helps. And have fun with your new toy :D.
