Update:
Added a heat shield, cut to size for the also cut to size 12.5" barrel. Had to do a lot of sawing and filing to get everything to fit accordingly. Because of all the plier work and sawing theres ugly scratches EVERYWHERE; frankly I don't care lol but I can re-blue all the parts later if I feel like it.
Took off the Hogue foreend, it gets stuck as you rack the foreend backwards due to the barrel becoming slightly wider and the foreend inner rubber getting stuck with great friction. It is very very hard to push it forward once you rack it all the way back; kills the smooth action, so I put on the stock police style foreend back.
You can dremel the inside walls of the Hogue foreend for it to work, but I don't have a dremel, and was using a blade therefore didn't make much progress to removing inner material.
Added the 6-Shell S&J Hardware holder with velcro tape, cheaper and easier to take off if needed than say a mesa tactical shell holder. Will probably upgrade to the mesa tactical later though to switch it up.
Also, I was searching far and wide for Remington 870 ghost ring sights; everywhere you go you're going to be paying $130+ for the real shotgun sights. This isn't a real shotgun, why pay a third of the guns cost for just sights? So I lucked out and found this product, the ATI Halo Heat Shield which comes with a cheap plastic rear ghost ring and front sight as well. They're supposed to both attach to the heat shield, but I glued the rear ghost ring on the receiver, and the front sight is screwed in as it should on the shield. Had to cut the rear barrel huggers on the shield since it obstructed with any foreend I threw on. And I just black electrical taped it securely lol.
One last mod is hopefully coming soon; the G&P Tactical Flashlight foreend.
(Anyone know if you can possibly swap the flashlight that comes with it for a super short one? Such as the LED short version that comes with Surefire foreends? What size are these flashlights, is there a specific size number/tail switch number for compatible flashlights?)
Tell me what you think!
