Got a really custom 870 with the factory long mag and Mesa Tactical/Endine Hydraulic Buffer setup. It’s Cerakote with cylinder bore and even has a custom aluminum spacer for standard barrels. I’m planning to either Gunbroker it or list it to swap for a SxS 20 or 16 I can hunt with my kids with.


If it’s just a fun Gun/HD the tactical mag tube is nice since you don’t need an extension and it won’t hang up as I’m told extensions can. If you want a multipurpose I’d probably go with an 870 that has a standard mag and stock set so it’ll balance a little better if you hunt it.

Someone slicked up the feed, cone, and it feels like the trigger is as smooth as any shotgun I’ve tried so there’s options to upgrade an 870 anyway you like really. I may hang on to this one and track down a hunting gun. I’ve really come to appreciate the 870.
