I hope this is the correct thread for this.
I was wondering if anyone could give me a good gunsmith to modify (tactical) an 870...I have a pretty good handle on riflesmiths but have no idea where to turn to get a shotgun worked on. Please advise...thanks.

Re: Remington 870 mod

All you need to change out a stock on an 870 is a #2 phillips screwdriver to remove the recoil pad and a long flathead screwdriver to remove the stock. The replacement stock will fasten on similarly, except in reverse.

Changing the foregrip can be done with a special socket, but I found that a piece of 1" x 1/8" flat stock fits the forearm nut perfectly. You'll need to perform a standard disassembly to remove the forearm and action bars; past that, there's not much to changing the forearm.

Sights...depend on what you're looking to do. I put this together with a secondhand 18" factory Remington barrel and a folding stock and forearm set from ATI. The sling is a one-off by a friend. For a first time firearm project, I found it to be quite enjoyable and rewarding.

Wow, Mesa tac is right in my backyard! I didn't even know about them. I'm going to ditch my tacstar shotsell carrier and buy a few more goodies from these guys.
