I have a bunch of different barrel lengths/gauges, full stocks, and grips of various flavors. Next project is the 8ga barrel assembly. I like to get the full use out of that $200 stamp.

Finally get to post this here.

12.5" SBS
Cut down from factory 18" riot barrel.
$60.00 for chop, thread for rem chokes and front bead sight installation.
Local gunsmith did it for me. I almost choked when he said over the phone he would do it for so little.

Link to his website.

I don’t even have this back in my hands yet, but it’s a recently approved Form 1 Remington 870 SBS. The work was done by Josh at Cotton Branch Custom Firearms. The barrel was chopped to 10” and the lug had to be relocated. The mag tube was shortened to hold 3+1. The stock was also shortened a couple inches, along with some serious forend shortening/modification. The gun started life as an 18” 870 Tactical Magnum. I bought a used vent rib barrel and new 870 Police walnut furniture right here off the EE.

Looks freaking awesome. I’m assuming this chop and thread job was a little more than $60.00

This is sweet. I picked up a used 870 special field to sbs. It should end up similar to yours with a little less work since it’s already 3+1. Can’t wait, it’ll be my first sbs.

Josh at Cotton Branch Custom Firearms did the work. He doesn’t have a website, but he floats around some of the NFA groups on Facebook, which is where you can see a lot of his work. His email address is [email protected]

Enjoy it as-is for a while, and then consider OD green with the metal, and the wood as it is... sort of a WWI/WWII Marines finish, if that makes sense.

I've had a couple SBS projects in the works for awhile. I finally got this one done. 870 Special Field with 10.5" barrel. I have a local gunsmith that did the barrel chop. He did a proper cut/machine on the rib and re-blued the machined surfaces. To top it off he threaded for chokes. I shortened the buttstock a little bit. I haven't shot it since the transformation, but it was a smooth shotgun in its original form.

Since you have a special field, note that the buttstock on mine is not the English stock that comes on the Special Field.  I found a Wingmaster stock that was very close in color to the handguard.  I just liked the look of the traditional Wingmaster stock a little better..

Wow, I am unfamiliar with that shotgun at all.  More of a Benelli M4 rather than recoil operated?
Looks sweet as an SBS!  What is barrel length and capacity?

Gas operated with dual (small) pistons below the bolt. It's a pretty slick system.

Barrel length is 13"; Capacity is 5+1

Super neato.  I like small things that still have a "fighting" capacity.  Until now I was looking at a ghost-loaded 10"ish Benelli with 3+1+1.  Plus with gas op you could cut down the stock some too.  
Do they make a factory SBS or is this a converted Tac 13?

It’s a converted Tac-13. In the long run, it’s probably less expensive to cut down a full size gun to the barrel/stock length you want. You could remove any amount desired from the stock and not adversely effect the gas operation.

I’ve fired both full power buck and powder puff birdshot through this gun. No issues with either.

Stoeger Condor I got for dirt cheap a few years back. Actually a very solid gun for how inexpensive they are.

Local smith did the chop, crown, and bead install. Did a great job for $60

I did all the wood, rough shaping with a palm sander and rasp, final shaping and smoothing by hand. Did 8 coats of boiled linseed oil spread over 72 hours and I will do a varnish or urethane coat in the near future.

A holster is a fun idea, might be a good project for the summer. This thing would be a badass snake gun for short hikes in the badlands and black hills where I have encountered a few rattlers.

Barrel length?    More pics please    I have a similar 20 gauge that I've done much of the work on as far as the stock/grip, but haven't chopped the barrels yet.  Still trying to decide where to go with that.
