And my physical therapist just cleared me to shoot it. Hell yeah!!!!!!!! I'll shoot it this weekend and give a report.

Replaced the carrier dog spring with OEM part # F16966 and it made a really nice improvement to the feeding action of the weapon. Feels much better. I see why Remington did this to the 870P.
Where did you end up ordering that part from? I'm trying to avoid paying $10 in UPS fees for a tiny part. I need a few for an express that's mostly up to 870p standards and as a spare

Brownells has a $5.95 shipping option that always gives tracking info and has been pretty fast for me.
How does that magpul stock and fore end feel compared to the original synthetic furniture? It looks good but I haven't tried it myself.
The Magpul stock is a great addition. Feels like it is of a better quality material, but the biggest different for me is the ergonomic position it keeps your arm in. The OEM synthetic furniture was just uncomfortable for me. Also the forend is a nice touch as well. The integral hand stops feel really nice. The fit of both are top notch.
I bought the exact same 870 yesterday.
Since I have rather short arms, the first thing I noticed was the length of pull is just a bit to long for me to comfortably shoulder the weapon...so right off the bat...I'm looking at getting the Magpul furniture (mainly the stock) due to it being shim adjustable. Yeah I'll get the forearm as well as I already have a couple of the small rail sections to fit my TLR-1, and I figure that's probably more cost effective than having to buy some overpriced mount. Mesa side saddle...then I'm calling it good.
Its been awhile since I've blasted a shotgun; it'll be fun to feel some recoil for a change.
Have you had a chance to shoot it yet?
