870 project (short barrel, etc)

[usmcvet]

I just slipped the webbing under the rib and around the barrel and attached it with two plastic slides. The sling I made from 1" webbing and fittings....less than ten bucks in parts

Thanks.

I keep my HD shotguns pretty simple....I finished one yesterday. A buddy gave me a Ithaca m37 featherweight. 12 ga pumpgun. It had a broken firing pin and bad corrosion on the for end slide. Cost me $65 to fix those issues. I cut down the vr barrel to 18.5"(hacksaw),cleaned up the muzzle(flat file). I'm 6'2" and 12" lop is toooo short, so I cut down the buttstock and reground the recoil pad to fit, lop 13". Added buttstock shell holder, made an adjustable 2 point sling, and finally drilled and tapped vr and reinstalled original m37 raybar sight......I don't think I need any more mods to this shotgun

update.....couldn't leave the M37 alone....added a Marbles Tritium bead....Mike

BA Baracus, how did you attach your sling near the receiver?

Right now I am running a magpul barrel clamp on the barrel and extension tube but was looking for a better sling attachment than the factory installed point under the stock near the recoil pad. Any ideas?

My first custom firearm was a lightly used 870. Swapped furniture and refinished it. Haven't stopped building guns from kits or a bare receiver since! Addictive hobby!

Very nice, I'm a big fan of the magpul shotgun furniture. Looks very comfortable to me!
