New guy with a gun... Pics fixed

Post by Merc6 »

20 forums later I still never know how to do a good intro.

Not new to guns but new to this one. My last Shotgun was a 590 SP and I figured why not venture into the Remington side and see what the fuss is about.

After searching for used I came up with the same rusted out 870's with same as new price tag. I haven't seen any good police guns in a while so I got a new 870 Express.

After looking around for cheapest new prices since used all pretty much held their value as new, I got a 18" barrel and FDE Magpul furniture. I did not realize how much shorter the barrel would get by doing this. No regrets at all, trying to not go overboard but seems like there is so much stuff out there to do just that. So far I'm about 60 rounds in, (all slugs since nowhere outdoors to shoot at nearby) and I can say the Magpul stock helps a lot.

I ended up adding more to it to help out with the high brass slugs. Not sure I'm feeling the look entirely tho. 75 rounds though it so far, all slugs until I find an outdoor range closer.

Thanks, I'm used to the FDE it was the fore grip look plus finding out what folks meant by different shades of FDE in Magpul. It's a shade brighter than the rest of the gun but my OCD isn't as bad now.

Haha, I got you!

I wanted an all-black but found a used 870 in full Magpul FDE kit at a price that was just too good to pass down so I hopped on it. I'm learning to love the FDE a little more each day.
