Picked up a used wingmaster for $170 this AM.
Any reason it shouldn't be my first SBS? I'm thinking parkerize it, 12.5" barrel flush with the tube, walnut buttstock. 
|

Might as well. I just bought a factory 14" barrel with a fixed modified choke from AIP Tactical to go on my SBS. I ran it in a shotgun class recently, and it did just as well as the longer barreled guns there.
Mine originally came with a chopped vent-rib barrel. I think I'll now cut that one back to 12". Should be fun.

but it ended up a little different:

where are you guys engraving? Where on the gun - or who to use for engraving? I recently used Veritas Machining. 9 days there and back, nice work on an AR lower. Engraving from Orion-Arms has always been first rate too. |

I think a parkerized 870 WM with wood furniture would be fantastic. Look in the "Ridiculous SBS" thread. Although not parkarized, there are some gorgeous stained and un stained walnut stock guns. - Lastly, enjoy the rabbit hole. SBSs bite hard, and their venom works fast. You will have another sooner than you think... Edit: Let me help you with those pictures. I think you'll agree your decision is solid. These are all from members on this site:

You deserve another pat on the back for that SBS slug gun. Nice work. You don't see very many rifled SBSs. |

Is it legal to engrave the barrel, seeing that's the part that's making it an SBS? What if I wanted to sell the shotgun later on? It would have my long ass trust name engraved into the receiver. |

They both look awesome. Hope you saved the wood. You never know if want to class it up later. I know GoLoud did some awesome home made work on his, turned out beautifully. |

Depends on your size/build. I had a 14" Speedfeed originally, went to a Hogue 12" that was too short and ended up with a Magpul 13" that was just right. Quoted:
