Re: Lets have some pictures of your builds.
As it sits now...next up is the Mesa Tactical Urbino stock. I don't like where the light is mounted either, but it's the only available rail at the moment. Eventually, I'd like to get a magazine tube clamp with optional 5 slot rail to mount the light to.

baggedcobra, nice setup! Have you tested the flashlight mount? Does it stays in place under recoil?

Thanks buddy. I've not had the chance to shoot it yet. I literally just finished the build yesterday and the flashlight mount was pretty much the last thing to go on the gun. So far I love it.
Re: Lets have some pictures of your builds.
Last night I did a few upgrades to my 870. Most of my upgrades to now were exterior ones, shell carrier, sling attachments, light, sights, etc. I finally replaced the mag follower with red aluminum one, I replaced the carrier dog follower spring with Remington heavy duty (black spring) and I changed our the mim extractor for the non-mim extractor. All parts went on smooth and easy. Getting there!

Re: Lets have some pictures of your builds.
More of a restoration than a build... I picked this old 870 Wingmaster riot gun up at a West Virginia pawn shop a couple years ago for $125. Even though it had the finish all worn off, one sling swivel missing, the other one broken and the stock beat up and cracked, it still looked like it had some life left in it.
I had the metal re-Parkerized by Knox Metal Refinishing of Marietta, Ohio. I replaced the broken stock with one of the same vintage style found on Ebay. It was cleaned with alcohol to remove all the built-up grease and crud, the dents and scuffs steamed out, sanded, and refinished with several applications of boiled linseed oil. The sloppily stenciled rack number on the original was duplicated on the replacement stock, the property tag polished and the skull-cracking curved aluminum buttplate repainted. The missing/broken sling swivels were replaced with a pair of Uncle Mike's detachable swivels and an older black leather military sling added. A few applications of Johnson's paste wax on the stock finished the job.

Reeeally nice job on that one. I love the look of the old Police guns. Nicely done.

Re: Lets have some pictures of your builds.
Thanks. Shoots as expected with 00 buckshot and no choke. It will be a fine home defense gun and a good conversation piece.
