Building up a tactical shotgun and my parts came!
I currently have a Remington 870 police model that is pretty bare bones and I wanted to do some nice things to it, and here is what is going on tomorrow:
Ignore the scope rings, focus on just the pic rail that my holographic sight will be held on with
1.
This is made by Knoxx/Blackhawk and what it does is reduce felt recoil up to 90%! Yes, you read that right, 90%! It works by a spring recoil mechanism and this will replace my current pistol grip + butt stock (Anyone want an aftermarket pistol grip + butt stock for a remmy 870? will fit all Remington 870 models and is made of a dense rubberized material. Asking $30. The stock shown below costs in the area of around $160+
2.
A side mounted shell holder
3.
(People say it throws off the balance of the shotty but it doesn't really, none that I felt when I shot one)
A VERY bright fiber optic front sight to replace the lame bead that is there right now.
4.
Last thing I'm getting is a front flashlight/laser mount for illumination and intimidation (a laser puts a huge amount of intimidation on the suspect, also goood for airming for fast target acquisition.
I'll post pics as soon as it's done which should be tomorrow or the next day! w00t! My Remmy is going to kick some ace!
Here's the holosight Im using up top:
Works the same as an EOTech with same brightness levels and such, no NV capability which I don't need and it's a low profile sight that can handle shotguns and grenade launchers. The one I have is black though.
I'm stoked as hell!

Just for reference, he's a picture of what my 870 looks right now:
It's the second from the top, the shotgun is right below the SU-16B (black rifle with scope). If you want that buttstock/pistol grip let me know! It reduces felt recoil a lot more than the butt stock that comes with the remington.

btw, I have shot one of those Knoxx stocks and they are ridiculous!
looks just like my mossberg, mine is railed, heatshield, knoxx stock w/ limbsaver, optic, side shell holder,sling with shell holder on there and with tritium bead in front.

Having used an 870 Marine Magnum on more than one night time mission, I have to say there's nothing I'd change/add to it except the shell holder thingy.
Can't ever carry too much ammo.

That's only because you haven't tried this Knoxx stock. It makes repeat shots so much quicker and much more accurate, recoil is reduced to almost nothing! Having a fiber optic sight, or something better then a small bead is def needed. The holosight isn't needed but def cool for night time shooting.

The only two things that are missing is the holographic sight and the blackhawk pump which came with the buttstock, I have both of the said parts but didn't install them yet so I just threw on some random red dot and kept the stock 870 pump on there.
The coolest thing on the shotgun is the buttstock. It's an adjustable M4 style buttstock with a pistol grip that has great ergonomics, but the greatest thing about the blackhawk stock is the knoxx patented recoil reduction system that reduces recoil up to 95%, even with heaviest loads! It works really well!
Front rail so you can add a flashlight, laser, or any other kind of accessory you might want.
Only thing that's missing is the shell holder that mounts to the side of the receiver

Range report is AWESOME! Gun fires like a different gun! Repeat shots are a sinch and an ease to shoot.
Glen, you ready for the next shot day? You gotta try it out!
