Seeking the wisdom of the forum!
I've been getting into 3 Gun lately and my current shotgun is a Remington 870 Express Magnum. I've just added a 9-10 round mag extension to the existing 28" barrel. It's a long barrel for 3 Gun, but I've been getting by. I also ordered a Speedfeed IVs stock that should arrive Friday. I'm anxious to see how it handles during fast paced shooting.
So, recently I discovered in my Dad's gun locker that he has a like-new Winchester model 1400 semi-auto. I have not heard much about this model, but it seems to be rare and no longer in production. In the future I may upgrade this rifle by putting on a 22" barrel and mag extension. My plan is to get a Speedfeed stock for this, but they only make the stock for the model 1200/1300, which I believe are pump actions. I've seen on other websites that standard stocks can be used for the 1400 as well as the 1200/1300. Well, I've got some email questions out to some vendors, so we'll see.
Any suggestions/recommendations? Use the 28" 870 and keep the model 1400 stock?
Thanks.
