Of all my shotgun pics you put the one up with the bayonet on a 930 SPX.
I had that extension on there for about as long as it took to take that picture and fire a test string. The bayonet was on there for the pic only. On a serious note, I can get you some pics of the factory Mossberg GRS kit, the Kimber tritium Tru Dot front sight, and the LPA sights if you want them. I also may have a pic similar to your request soon that will probably beat anything you've ever seen. On yet another note, if you work on those Remington top folders or need spare parts, I think I still have the last one I broke somewhere if you can cannibalize it and want it. Good thread Rifleman. |

Thanks! Hey Forest- It's the LPA sights that come stock on the 930 SPX. I believe you can order them seperately here. It is like sighting through football goal posts. |

Depends. They are making them for the 590, but depending on which 500 you have you may be able to use this one. They are working on an SBS version as well. |

One reason I have a pump shotgun to back up my ARs is
Grandpa gave me his pump when I was in high school and its all I had to hunt with 
Great write ups too I may check my LOP, but i shot fine as is BPS right now but I got an 870 Mag in the future I used a pump to shot sporting clays and the guys said I should really think about a O/U or auto Till I shot the first round I had the high score for the day and they said I was the second fastest the had ever seen with a pump Then I told them about Grandpa 
BTW they all had a sucky day but I was always in the upper few 
On a side note I used a pump paint "marker" when we played Paintball Got accused of have a semi a few times We had an unwritten rule at first of no Semi's till we all decided what we would do Just friends so it was cool Most of us went semi later |

When it comes to holding the weight for extended period of time, there is no adjustment of LOP that comes even close to the use of a sling. A simple two point sling is definitely the way to go. I like the Vicking Tactical because you can adjust it very quickly, even on the fly.
A single point sling does not really help you carry the weight of the shotgun when it's pointed at the bad guy. A three point sling, while it does help carry the weight, is excessively complicated and very likely to get in the way of smooth operation. Viking Tactics Sling at Cabelas 
Here's link to a quick instructional video on the sling. It's a great sling for home defensive shotgun use. Instructional Video at TROY Industries |

Unless you have some really good video that shows otherwise, I can't imagine how having that monstrosity swinging around would be anything but a pain in the ass. And also, since it seems as though you can't take a hint, BUY AN AD!!!!

Ok, my bad. I thought forums were mainly for sharing information about accessories and new products for fighting and weapon systems. Just wanted to add this one in here for people that might be interested. Obviously I was mistaken so I won't post anymore here.

Skidoo;
There is a difference between 'sharing information' and trying to score free advertising, and you are pretty obviously doing the latter...especially after you stated you did not intend to post again (earlier in this thread) yet have now posted a link to that article. If you want to stayhere and debate the merits of various shotgun setups like everyone else, you are welcome. If you just want to hawk your family wares then buy advertising space or go elsewhere. If I have to deal with you again on this issue, it will be in a different manner. Ikor |

As much as I appreciate new and inventive shotgun setups, this thread is not the place to sneakily attempt to sell your own product. Start a new thread on it, become a site sponsor, or just post your own pics in the shotgun picture thead: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=6&f=1&t=203798

Just wanted to say once again, TexasRifleman, what an excellent write-up this is.
Very well done. |

Seems neither your PM nor your email are working Texas...
i had a couple questions: 1) where does one go about finding a Police 870 factory folding stock 2) what would it take to convince you to shorten it the way you did yours, eliminating slop/rattles etc...of course i would compensate you generously for your time if you said Yes. |
