well, i just bought a new remington 870 express.. standard model with wood furniture and 26" ribbed barrel, front bead sight...
when i have more money i plan to buy an 18" or 20" barrel with a full tube mag extension... my question with this doesnt seem to be fully discussed as i couldnt find much info while searching... anyway, the spring is held in with the dimples that have to be removed to install an extention, i like this method of holding the spring in because to remove the spring all i do is press it in with my finger.. twist, and release and it comes out.. no tools needed....
so, if i remove the dimples, how will i be able to hold the spring in place with the cap off?, is there a sort of aftermarket spring i could use when i remove the tube mag for hunting?... also, after removing said dimples, whats an inexpensive way to touch-up the parkerized finish of the tube mag?.. my shotgun is entirely parkerized, no blueing
one more thing.. i like the speedfeed pistol grip.. it looks like it was cut from a buttstock, leaving the same comb angle and such... anyone know where i can get a simply pistol grip made from wood to match the forearm? or have a spare wooden buttstock theyre willing to sell so i can cut one myself?... i want to give the shotgun a modified look when i put on the shorter components, instead of just going with a manufactured plastic grip and forearm
