Whoa....how much does that beast way? I take it the salesperson asked if you wanted it "fully loaded"? Lol....

Here's mine! 500c 20GA

Got it in the condition shown in the first picture, had issues cycling but was still somewhat reliable. I bought a new elevator and a few other internals and got it all cleaned up, two cans of Krylon later and I have a fun little scatter gun. Not so much for anything other than to keep around the house and shoot for fun. I figure it should at least give me time to get to my AR and/or Glock if I ever need it to! I really like the 20GA in the pistol grip only configuration because it still has a good bit of power, but I can easily shoot it one handed or from the hip if need be.

Mocked up some parts on a 870 Express junker. I have enough odds-and-ends to justify another build once I take delivery on a 870P with a 18.5" rifle sighted barrel as a host. That Surefire front end is still hefty after dropping to a 3V system.

Cesiumsponge is that a IWC handstop you have mounted to the Surefire forend? That seems like a very good idea, does it assist with cycling? Thanks

[Cesiumsponge]

Yep, IWC handstop. I milled a pocket in the underside for the t-nut to clear the fore end assembly and it required a longer screw to affix. The radii aren't a perfect cosmetic match but one or the other can be trimmed to get a nicer looking install. It doesn't really aid if you have a good purhase on the shucking but theoretically it should help if your grip gets slippery from rain, sweat, or blood. The rubbery panel Surefire uses doesn't provide a lot of purchase compared to the heavily textured or ribbed synthetic units.

It certainly doesn't get in the way. I'm looking forward to running it next year in a shotgun course to see how it handles.

Very interesting, yeah it does seem like it would have positive benefits when having to cycle the action under extreme circumstances. It kind of reminds me of the ledge on certain handgun sights that's used to manipulate the slide if your other arm becomes disabled.

That was a very innovative idea, don't be surprised in a year's time if one of the manufacturers picks up the idea. Patent it now, lol.
