Finally finished my Remington 870MCS build.
Originally purchased from Impact Guns a few years ago, it came with the 10'',14'',18'' barrels. I tracked down the 11'' breacher barrel a few months ago from Botach to finish off the barrel set. 
Today I completed the LED lights in the forend as only sold with the "Breacher" package. I heavily researched the setup based on pictures from people selling them. Remington would not help me. The LED lights are the Micro Light I by Photon. I custom made some screws (cut and blued) and counter drilled the lights to make for a cleaner finish.

I cut my 870 down to that size and really want one of those pump handles. Remington told me NO several times. I took a ton of pics of one at SHOT and hope to make one or 3D print one. I never could understand why Remington says "NO" in regards to the MSC system and it's components? So much so that I am sure you folks know that they will not even sell the holster or "SRD (Shotgun Retention Device)" made under contract with Bladetech? I wonder what is behind the thinking of the decision makers at Remington? Links for anyone who does not have them already: http://www.remingtonle.com/shotguns/870mcs.htm http://www.remingtonle.com/axx/gunparts.htm 
Any thoughts on why are greenbacks are not accepted for certain items at Remington? Cheers |

I even work for an SOT and do police gun workf for the local PD and they would only sell me the pump handle if were doing warranty repair on a gun. They used to sell the parts years ago, several people on Shotgunworld.com had bought them. I almost grabbed a suit wearing booth monkey at SHOT and asked him but figured I'd get the same answer.
Here's mine, before refinishing the barrel.

it may be part of a mil contract and with that come all sorts of odd rules, I would love the handguard but trying to order one is like trying to buy a nuclear submarine. the 10" and 11" barrels seem to be the same length or is the breacher permanently attached? The barrels are approximately the same size but the breacher has a threaded barrel for both the stand-off and muzzle break. That extra threading on the outside of the BBL makes it a touch longer. |

Cheers I also tracked down and purchased the SRD for my 870MCS. I don't have anything to attach it to and it's a little bulky/stiff to use but it rounds out the collection. For now it just sits in the safe. |

The SRD for my 870 MCS.
Bulky and hard to use, but it's part of the package. Not sure how one would attached this to a belt and have it not wobble all over the place. Maybe I don't have the right kind of belt. Not sure why they spelled "device" wrong on the package...
