It is totally "tacticool" but I like it. I have the 870 magpul tactical express. I've had the mesa tactical side saddle but I haven't been happy with the retention, each slot seems to have a different level of tightness. Plus it's a pain when I want to clean out and oil the trigger assembly. Just ordered the esstac 6 round velcro card and adhesive backing. I'm going to cut out spaces for the trigger pins. My model is 6+1. Has the magpul sga stock and moe sl foreend, picatinny rail, xs ghost sites, Remington tactical choke. All black, cerakoated. I put in the qd mount on the stock and got a magazine tube cap with qd mount. Wilson combat extended power mag spring, Wilson combat large safety. I have the heavier duty dog carrier spring but my gunsmith told me if I'm not having problems, which I'm not, it could end up causing issues so I haven't installed it. Also have a magpul ms4 gen 2 sling. Also a non-mim extractor. Bought it in 2014. Been seeing alot of videos about quality issues with the express model, especially the last few years. People needing to polish the bore specifically. Don't know if I just got lucky or Remington's quality was still good, but the inside of my bore feels smooth as glass, and I don't see any imperfections. The one thing I've found that very important for the gun to run smoothly, is keeping the forend rails lubed. Makes a huge difference if you've been running it dry. Started using MPro7 gun lube and really like it. Oh, I've also got a Streamlight tlr-1 mounted on the left side of the forend. I've gone back and forth between which I think is the best for home defense, the 870 or ar-15. Settled on the 870 loaded with #4 buck. Less chance of over penetration but still quite devastating.

Thanks for the tip on the Supercell. Not the first time I've heard positive things about that, so I'll keep it in mind. You made some good observations. Yeah, the forward shell carrier gets in the way in the current configuration so it's been removed for now. When I install an AFG I'll re-evaluate; the AFG may lower the support hand far enough that the shell carrier doesn't get in the way. Not sure I understand the second question? The sling attach pount is on the right side. No issue.

+Victor Rivera I no longer use the Sidearmor shellshot carrier. It got in the way. Everything else adds utility to the gun. A tac light and a shell carrier are the only real mods. The sights are fiber optic. It's a pretty basic, shotgun, really. And I think it's actually quite efficient, tactically speaking. If you don't want the light, you don't have to use it. If you don't need the extra ammo, you don't have to worry about it. It adds a small amount of total weight and bulk to the gun. A very similar configuration is used on most of the shotguns in Magpul's "Art of the Dynamic Shotgun" training video. Based on a lot of the comments I think some folks just have an aversion to any extra gear on their guns and that's fine. If you want to run an extremely basic gun with no ammo loaded on the receiver and no tactical light feel free to do so, I just prefer to have a couple of extra tools in case I need them. It really is a simple piece of gear.

two notes you may be interested in. the light: a mini maglight pro plus with a red lens works better. at night white light lights up the smoke and you can't see. The brighter the white light = the worse the proble. Red light cuts through the smoke and you can see just fine. The 2nd point. red dots just own everythig on a shotgun. I use a vortex strike fire 2 and I will never go back. I LOVE shooting with both eyes open. I can "kill" 15 small cheap plastic flowerpots with my shotgun in 16-18 secounds. Just takes a secound to switch magazine tubes and reload the chamber. getting on target with a red dot is like pointing your finger. You just do it. both eyes wide open. 3rd, not a suggestion but shotgunning is just plain fun. 100 rounds of 7 shot for $20 at wall mart and you get magnum performance for your money.

I honestly feel that the Remington 12ga.Versamax shotgun performs BETTER that the 870 . . . I follow James Yeager on KZitem. com . . . he's with TacticalResponse.com (former police officer) and he does training on home defense shotguns . . . He recently did a series of 8 videos with Bill ??(forget his last name) of Remington and they were comparing 3 different shotgun loads and 5 different shotguns . . . over 60 targets were used and compared . . . at 5 yds, 10yds, 15yds, 25yds, and 35yds . . . The BEST performing shotgun was the Versamax - - less recoil than the 870, quicker firing, quicker recovery, easier to stay on target . . . NO FEEDING/EJECTION issues !! The end result (conclusion) of the video series?? reduced recoil 00buckshot (8 pellet) is sufficient and performed the best and any shotgun that helps you stay on target is better . . in this case the Versamax . . . S.T.U.D. also has a shotgun flashlight that has an attachment point ON the end-cap (replaces) of the feed-tube/magazine which means you do not need any picatinney rails or any changes to your furniture (original furniture/forearm can be used) . . . anyway . . that's my two cents . . check the videos . .it's an eye opener even for Jim Yeager !!

Hello fellow 870 maniac! Awesome build! Love that 2-shell carrier on the forend! I had the same set up too, due to the magpul video hype! (I can't remember the company who made it, but they used to sell on amazon and on their own website). The hardest thing to accept, was that the 2-shell carrier (although very well made, made like a tank, & looked badass!) would rather injure you rather than help you out with two additional rounds on the firearm. I went through several classes and during the heat of the moment, that thing chewed through my fingers every time I racked the forend. I ended up taking it off both my 870s and selling them on ebay. Saved my finger. Made back my money's, as it was rare item to find nowadays. Maybe on an auto 12ga, it would work - but with pumps, forget it. Just my experience though and yours might be different.

@gatorpilot

Drake, the shells are commonly positioned either way according to user preference. For combat reloads (loads directly into the ejection port) the shells should be brass up. For reloading the mag tube they should be brass down for the most efficient method of loading. Check out Chris Costa's teachings in "The Art of the Dynamic Shotgun" video. This is his recommended configuration. I've always run my side saddles this way -- two up for combat reload, the rest brass down for admin reloads.
@drakeanglin

i onderstaand that completely, because i to run my shells like that on my shotgun. but what i was getting at was that shell carrier is not designed with that loading method in mind. its is designed for a over the top reload style, thats why the fit is loose, so when you have them brass up they don't fall out and they come out over the top easily.

Love this set up... I have the SGA stock and MOE Forend on my 870 as well. I am having the same question on the Surefire Scout and the Magpul light mount kit... I have seen one actually strung through the handguard between the tube and the barrel, but it was just for pictures, and the practicality of running the pressure switch through the hand guard looks iffy. Friction/clearance of the magtube and barrel heat on that wire? I'm opting to run it under as well, but that's the mounting kit and light I've had on my amazon wish list for a while... How have you liked the set up that way and is there a place to find that fore grip block? I'm not the biggest fan of it, but I also wouldn't want the wire just hanging under loose even if it was a tight fit. Great video and thanks for sharing your set up!
@gatorpilot
10 жыл бұрын
I don't love the setup with the pressure switch, to be perfectly honest. The slots that Magpul builds into the SOE forend require you to place the pressure pad a little higher and further back than I would like. Is it pretty good? Yeah... it's a clean install and works fine. The cord from the Mini Scout is really short and is the limiting factor. I definitely wouldn't trust trying to run the cable between the mag tube and the barrel. It seems like it would be bound to get hung up in there sooner or later. The cable is flexible enough that it will probably droop a bit. And I would also worry about heat from the barrel, although it would probably take a fair number of shots fired for it to heat up enough to worry about. Hope this helps with your decision on your own setup.
