I blame all of you and this forum! My 12ga is great! It's almost kilt every gobbler I've pointed it at. (Missed the 2nd one trying to double up in NE 2 yrs ago.)
But sitting at work reading O.G. seeing how much fun it looks to build, pattern, and carry a 20ga and I'm hooked!
Bought a youth 870 20ga new in box. Ordered a synthetic stock kit, Carlsons .555 choke, 2 boxes of Federal TSS #9, and a Breakup wrap kit. Stripped it all down, polishing the barrel and cerakoting the barrel and receiver patriot brown. Wrapping the synthetic parts in Bottomland. Season starts on Monday. Hope to have it ready by then. Will post pics of the build and pattern when completed!

You can't kill a mature Tom with a 20!!! :drool: :blob10:
I like the looks I get with my SA459. Like I am carrying an AR, or a kid's gun.

Gun is cerakoted and I currently have the wood stock on till my synthetic shows up tomorrow.
Today was opening day. I carried the 12 since I hadn't patterned the 20. But I did get a chance to check my pattern and poi. Didn't circle and count #'s but I'm impressed. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190415/a85056cf5fcc7fd8546751a1e9311c1e.jpg)20yrds

Got my stock and swivel cap in today. Only thing left is to wrap the stock in Bottomland when my wrap kit comes in.

Looks great so far, awesome patterns as well. I have an 20+ year old 870 I plan on doing the same with.
Did you stay with a youth size synthetic stock or go with the full size?

Little advice on remodeling an older 870. Make sure its silicone sand blasted and acetone washed very well, and multiple times. I have a 12 ga 870 turkey model made in 2001 that i bought from a gun show in 2006, (gun in my profile pic.) Carried it for several years, and had some rust and wear to show for it. Cerakoted it and after the next season I was getting rust from under the cerakote. My gun guy has never seen that happen.
We assume that hand oil and gun oil had just gotten so deep into the pores of the gun, and thats what caused it. Still functions but looks pretty gnarly.

Looks like a winner to me. I carry a single shot 20 a lot. They are such a pleasure to carry and shoot.
