Found this for a steal at a local gun store.

Unfortunately it's been refinished, but the shotgun is in great condition. Some evidence of pitting on the stock tangs, but when I pulled it all apart the insides look pristine.



Gonna chop it down and run the crap out of it.

Nice! Can’t wait to see it finished

All finished:


I added a Choate 870 +3 extension, cut the barrel down to ~20.5" to just barely overhang the extension, added a 1903 Springfield rear stock loop on the left side and a Scattergun 870 forward sling loop. I also found a Browning Auto 5 two-piece load lifter which dropped right in and a Williams Giant Head safety. Very happy with how it came out. Still need to design and sew a sling for it but that's the easy part.

I'd rock that. Nice job.

Thanks guys - it runs like a champ, really pleased I found it. It was well cared for by the previous owner, and I intend to continue the trend.

That may be an original finish or a (military) refurbished one. Research the value before you chop it…

It was not. There were numerous things about it that were done after it left service. I did my research first.

looks slick! where did you get the safety from? I did a model 11 almost the same.

I found it on eBay - I paid more than I wanted to but at the time it was the only right handed safety amidst a sea of left handed safeties.
