Finally got the 870 and fitted the accessories

Ok,
So I finally got round to an 870 build. Still awaiting for the epoxy so I can fit the tritium big dot but here it is so far

As it arrived


And after a few bits and bobs





All the best

Nice setup! What choke is that?

[chrismetallica1]

Its a Trulock Tactical Choke http://www.trulockchokes.com/tactical-c-24.php The laws are pretty prohibitive here in the UK. Barrels must be 24" or over on pump or auto shotguns due to the 1987 ban. I have a 590 for my main competition pump gun and a Hatsan MPA for my Semi-auto. Always wanted an 870 so sold some of my reload dies I wasn't using anymore to fund it. Very good shotgun though. Smoother than the 590 out the box. I do all the colour fill work myself so when I got the Magpul stuff couldn't resist blaze yellow

This is the colour fill work

[Vitaly]

Very nice details, what do you use for colour fill work?

[chrismetallica1]

I use Lacquer Stik by Markal originally made by lac Co in Chicago. This is the stuff



Basically clean with isopropyl alcohol then the fill and cleaning work with more Isopropyl alcohol with q tips for fine detail work. It sets hard after a few days and is pretty much hard wearing

[Vitaly]

Very good and simple idea, thanks for sharing!

[chrismetallica1]

Just be careful if you use white. It has a tendency to ghost and takes ages to clean to get it looking correct. Did my AR15 9mm in it ant it took ages to get right



obviously I blanked out the serial number for online posts

I think the smile on the front of the magazine tube is what I liked the most.

I was also interested in the way you added side saddles on Both Sides.

Nice Looking Gun!!
