| Many years ago I traded a guy out of two 3" Remington 870 Special Purpose Shotguns. They are both identical synthetic long barrel guns that he had used for duck hunting. I use one of them as my main shotgun for hunting but the other just sits there. I have been thinking about transforming the one into a tactical shotgun for home defense and possibly a future 3 gun (doubt it but maybe). I don't have a clue where to begin. I was hoping that you guys could share some ideas with me and help me transform this gun into something that might actually get some use. |
| 18 or 20" barrel, extended mag tube, sights, ghost ring or whatever suits you, for HD light and a way to mount it. I would highy advise a sling. As far as stocks if you're content with what's on it, it is perfectly usable. Side saddles are a convenient place to carry some extra shells, but they also make the gun heavier, and may require a different forearm. |
| Send the barrel to Guncat aka Rose Action Sports and have the shortened and threaded for Rem Choke tubes. This will allow you dial in loads with I/C or Mod chokes. He can also put a bead on it then you put a XS Big Dot over that. If it is for HD, then you need a light. After that I would look at a shorter stock if you need it and possibly a side saddle. |
