What is Remington 870 Unlimited Bullpup Kit?

The Remington 870 pump action shotgun has been around for a long time because it is an indestructible weapon that is totally reliable. The shotgun is about 38.5 inches long and is fairly inexpensive to the average consumer and gun lover. Those who already have a Remington 870 can purchase the Remington 870 Unlimited Bullpup Kit to make it shorter in length. This is a conversion kit that will modify your existing 12 gauge Remington 870 shotgun by taking off ten inches from its total length.

Remington 870 Vang Comp Systems Magazine Extension Tube Review

Thanks to Synchronizor for this review.

Founded in 1990 by gunsmith Hans Vang, Vang Comp Systems, Inc. offers a variety of gunsmithing and refinishing services, but is perhaps best known for the system of barrel modifications that they offer for combat shotguns. The company also produces a handful of tactical shotgun parts and accessories, including a line of magazine extensions. Vang Comp’s shotgun accessories have an overall positive reputation across the shotgunning community for quality and durability, and their Remington magazine extensions, offered in +1 and +2 varieties, are popular choices for combat and defensive 870 builds. They are also notably used on Nighthawk’s extremely high-dollar custom combat 870s.

Williams Gun Sight Company: Remington 870 Universal Ghost Ring Firesights

Thanks to Tommy Geraci, one of the blog readers for making this review!

UNIVERSAL “GHOST RING” FIRESIGHT SET

Next up for review are the W.G.S. Co. Universal Ghost Ring Firesights. These sights offer a large amount of flexibility since they incorporate a universal design they can work on just about any vent rib shotgun with no gunsmithing required. They are made out of aircraft grade aluminum and manufactured through a CNC process. The color combination of a red front sight and a green ghost ring rear sight really compliment each other well and only help increase a shooters target acquisition. The Universal Ghost Ring Firesights attach to a vent rib barrel via the placement holes with a combination of two latches per sight that are held in place with a set of screws that are provided.

Williams Gun Sight Company: Remington 870 Fiber Optic ACE IN THE HOLE Sight Review

Thanks to Tommy Geraci, one of the blog readers for making this review!

ACE IN THE HOLE

Williams Gun Sight Co. has a variety of sights for shotgun, rifle and handgun platforms. I will begin this review with the W.G.S. Co. Ace In The Hole fiber optic ghost ring with an integrated 1913 picatinny rail for the Remington 870 shotgun. The Ace In The Hole is designed for drilled and tapped receivers. This ensures a rock solid fit which further helps to maintain a constant zero. Gunsmithing is required to drill and tap the receiver unless the Remington 870 has already been drilled and tapped. Ensure that the screws included will work with a previously drilled and tapped receiver by calling Williams Gun Sight Co. and asking them directly.

5.11 Tactical Shotgun Ammo Pouch Review

When you’re using a shotgun, it comes in handy to have a lot of extra shells available to use whenever you need them. Most shotgun owners will add a carrier attachment to the side of their shotgun so they can hold more shells right on their weapon. While this might be good for immediately pulling an extra shell out and loading it into the chamber quickly, carriers are limited in the number of shells they can hold. That is why you should have a special ammo pouch that can hold dozens of shells. This would be a pouch that you carry on your belt so the ammo inside of it is readily available at any time you need it.
