Pictures of your Remington 870 Shotgun

[Synchronizor]

Here's a picture I took for a recent review. Thought it came out pretty good (as far as my photography skills go, at least):



12ga Express Magnum 18.5" fixed Cylinder bore. Express synthetic stock with SuperCell pad and mid-length fore-end. Random sling that usually stays on my Mauser rifle. S&J Hardware MK II +2 extension kit, TruGlo TG8030DBR 2-color 30mm red dot. Nice straightforward, comfortable-shooting home/woods defense setup that's really accurate with slugs and buckshot, and holds 7+1 of most 2.75" shells. About 7.5 lbs unloaded. The one thing it's really missing is a QD front sling mount; I'm looking at having a custom plate made for the S&J extension.

I also have a +3 coming I bought off glocktalk.
If both the above are accurate I will put this +2 on the 18" and put the +3 on this one.

Make sure the brackets are the proper ones for your barrels. There are high- and low-spaced barrels & brackets, and mixing them up can make the Remington factory extensions unreliable.

So first post ... first gun I've owned.
It is my 870 given to me by my Granddad many years ago.
1962 .20 gauge with a 28 inch barrel and modified choke.

That's a very nice-looking specimen. Take care of that classic!

Thanks , Synchronizor
Oh I do take good care ... We only go hunting on nice days.
I have another 870 being re-worked into a "Special Field" replica...
It also a .20 gauge , with a 22 inch barrel and using the Rem -Choke system along with a English Style stock.
That one will be my "everyday" hunter and shooter.

I'd be interested in seeing your Special-Field-styled build once it's done. I'm assuming it won't be built on the lightened 3-round receiver with the special short fore-end, but it should still be a nice little piece with that 22-inch barrel.

By the way, it's just "20-gauge", no decimal point. You can make 20 bore-sized balls for that gun out of a pound of lead, so it's a whole number. An actual 0.20-gauge gun would have a bore diameter of about 2.86 inches, and a lead ball for it would weigh 5 pounds. Here's how the math works.

The "Special Field" replica will not have a shortened forearm .., and I yep I think the 22 inch barrel will be handy when hunting.
As for ".20 gauge " and how math works.. .. I know how math works , it was just a typo.

Picked up the 18" WSP trade in
Pretty handy on the front seat of the truck, imo

I was wondering who makes the sling and the stock shell holder?
