Efile Form 1 - 3 weeks

Purchased a 28" vent rib barrel on EE, sent to Rose Action Sports. Work done:
-chop to 12 3/8"
-thread for RemChoke
-trim flush vent rib and install bead sight
-polish chamber

Eform and barrel were completed within days of each other! I got to chopping the stock last night and just finished it up this morning.

Stock is wayyyyy too long. Took just shy of 2" off. LOP is now a hair shy of 12", with a 12.25" barrel, it finally looks 'balanced'.

	Think about what you're going to post. Think about it again. Then don't post it.

Looks great, rose action did my remington 1100 barrel as well. Threaded it an added a bead site. They did quick clean work and was definitely at a good price. I marked my barrel and sent it to them and it came back perfect.

I did have to drill out the gas ports in the barrel myself but i knew what I was getting into.

The sbs barrel is on it in this pic.

Not to take away from the OP's shotty, but that M2 is a thing of beauty...

I tried that whole cancer thing. It wasn't for me. Good Riddance.

I just bought a great condition 870 Express at a pawnshop for 200 bucks OTD, Need to put in the paperwork and wait.

I am real good with grinder though.
