870 3in build
« on: May 20, 2019, 07:58:55 AM »
Took a new 870 wingmaster 12ga 3in to ballistic specialties in Batesville for a transformation.  The 26in barrel is having 2.25in cut and re-threaded for custom choke.  Forcing cone extended and polished.  Recevier tap and threaded for picatinny rail to accommodate a vortex vision 3MOA re dot.  Trigger job set at 3.5lbs.
Final procedure will be cerakote in olive drab with camo stock and forearm.
Come a long way since the 70's when in used a winchester 101 20ga  field o/u with full f/m barrels.  Typical camo was world II jungle camo coveralls and a camo scarf for the face!!!  After that it was carhartt overalls with a woodland camo coat.

Can't wait to see it!
The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.
