Newbie
Hello Everyone. I Am New To This Forum And Live In The State Of Arkansas. I Have Had An 870 For Years And Carried One In The Air Force. Always Loved The 870. I Am Currently Updating Or Maybe Back Dating One. Taking Off The Collapsible Stock And Putting the Original One back On That Holds Extra Shells, Along With Sling Mounts And A Sling. By The Way The 870 Is The Tactical Model. I Have Also Put on A Extended Magazine Tube To make It a 7 Shot And A Bayonet Mount Just For Looks. Mostly It Is Just A Home Defense Gun That Is Practical For Me. Although The Bayonet Mount May Be A Bit Overboard. I Got The E-Mail From This Site And Ordered The E Book About It And Am Planning On Getting A Book On It Also To Learn More About Working On It For Minor Upgrades. I Think I Will Like This Forum If I Can Remember To Check It Once In Awhile. Thanks For Having Me As A Member.

Welcome usafveteran1971. We're glad you found us.
Good deal you are doing the mods on your rig. Lots of neat things you can do. I like your idea of the bayonet " just for looks ". My Tactical ( model 25077 ) has a Pumpkin Puncher breech adapter on the mag cap, also " just for looks ". Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.
Lots of good folks on the forum with eons of experience.
If you have any questions, you only need to ask.

Re: Newbie
Welcome to the forum.
If you want to learn more about working on your 870, check out the book The Remington M870 and M1100/11-87 Shotguns A Shop Manual by Jerry Kuhnhausen. Not much in there about upgrades (which, honestly, the 870 really doesn't need), but it has all kinds of good info on take-down, inspection, repairs, updating & replacing parts, and troubleshooting problems.
