So after I quit 3 gun I got rid of shotguns. But every house needs a shotgun. I got an 870 express, played with it a while and it's a closet gun. I didn't know the difference between wingmasters and the express. Anyway, I tricked out the express and pull it out whenever there is fighting shotgun talk. It's really optimized for HD but I have an AR that I would grab first. Anyway I've moved to the country and decided I need a shotgun in my shed, not willing to give up my closet shotgun I got a Maverick 88... Anyway the other day a came across an police trade in 870., parked with rifle ghost rings.. an 870 I always wanted, for decent money. It needs a mag extension, side saddle, Hogue over molded furniture, it's also a 2 3/4 inch chamber (1979 gun) and the tritium is dead. I could do the first three myself no problem. But it occurred to me that I could send it to WIlson Combat and have maybe the perfect 870, with ALL the doodads, I'm talking 1980s dream fighting shotgun. But that's way more money... like twice what I paid for the gun, where me tricking it out would be about $200 (minus fixing the tritium which would have to happen.) Anyway...I'm in a conundrum- do it myself or send it to Wilson. Who has sent an 870 into Wilson? |
