Worked on an 870 update.
Started with an older 870 from Scattergun Technologies and then added some additional goodies. Before: 
Here is the forend I used from Magpul: 
This is the stock kit from Mesa Tactical - complete including the recoil buffer. I can tell you I'll be replacing the stock - it "rattles" a bit on the buffer tube and I am not a big fan of the sling strap holder built into the stock. Cool thing is I can swap stocks with my ARs. 
Before assembly: 
Here is the finished 870 perhaps a little "badder" 
Relatively easy update. Wasn't sure the Magpul forend was going to be a good idea but after having it on there I really like the feel. (and look). I need to add a new sling, something like a multi-mission or clone. |

Test fired a "new" Remington Model 11 today, this one from the 1920s. It chugged right along with buckshot and birdshot. There is just something about these Remington shotguns (aside from their usually cheap price) that I really like. The wood on this one has been replaced, but this girl could oboviously tell some stories about where she's been for the last 90 years.
Those were the days when American industry pounded these tank-like guns out by the thousands.

How did you date yours from the 20's, My understanding is the inside the trigger guard safety was deleted in 1911. If you have any additional info i would appreciate it. Thanks |

This guy seems to know what he is talking about, and says it was 1927/28 when they moved from what a lot of people call the "suicide safety" to the crossbolt version: Remington Model 11 Information |

Well it is quite long, and I understand a lot of people think it's ugly. I did just order an A1 stock for it, a bit shorter. The LOP is 14.5 in right now, so with the A1 it should be 14in or so. My Kahr Arms Thompson has a 17.25in LOP
 My Bushmaster M17s is 15 in, So I guess I'm used to longer LOPs. |

Here is my newly refinished 11-87 Premier setup as a tactical autoloader. Chris Peters' work at Metaloy Industries is among the finest in the industry. All of the finish work, he did. The gun wears grey Taktikote and sports a Mesa Urbino stock.

Im sure they are super ergo though. |

Latest addition to the family. It cycles absolutely everything I run through it. It's lightweight so it kicks like a mule with the heavy stuff.

Mossy 590A... She was sitting on a synthetic non-pistol grip style stock last week
But I opted to swap out the stock for a fixed position pistol gripped stock.. But I can't make up my mind about it.. Although I like the feel much more, operating the slide release and safety are much more difficult... This how she's configured at the moment.. Anyone else have the same kind of ordeal with a tac stock on the Mossy 500/590?

The PG stock makes it impossible to take down and clean without removal of the stock. I went back to the standard stock because of it.
