This one is finished. Started out as an 870 fieldmaster youth compact 20 gauge. 18.5" bbl. The stock was tiny. Shorter than a standard youth LOP. I removed it and tried a pistol grip but hated it. Couldnt get used to it. I bought a boyds forest green laminate stock but the colors were too vivid. Like neon green and blues. So i did a diy paint job kind of like natgear with some webbing on top. It has a colonial choke .570, sumtoy base and vortex venom. Also added a smaller/lighter forearm. It shoots very good with tss. Terrible so far with longbeard xr but that box hasnt shot well in anything for me. I am on the lookout for another box. Here it is against an oak(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230302/0a1e01bf68b18d4fe420107ed09cc3d4.jpg)

Forgot to mention that the trigger was terrible. Just terrible. Long take up and pre-travel, gritty, with several stops before breaking. Sent it off to get worked and it came back better. Still not as good as id like but good enough

Awesome paint job. That pattern could be marketable. :z-winnersmiley:
Is there a gun there?? Nice camo
Very nice paint job.
You did an outstanding job with that paint job!!! I have 3 of these little 870 20 youths, awesome little guns for sure.
Good looking gun! Like the camo also.
Nice job!
Awesome looking gun! Try the Timney trigger kit for the 870. It changes some of the springs and sear I believe. Might be what you're looking for to improve that trigger.
Very Nice!
Thanks for the compliments. I picked up another box of longbeard xr #5'a to try thru it yesterday. Just need a little time to give it a try.

If only i could get my whole turkey hunting costume to match the gun camo. Then when im taking a nap, the turkeys wouldnt notice me except maybe the snoring. :)

Shot the little gun a few times this week. Heres a pattern pic with herter's #9 at 35 yds. Impact a little low. Colonial choke .570". Apex ninja did about the same. Tried 2 boxes of longbeard xr and this combo doesnt like them. "(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230330/d7cbdebb35ea5f48385944e554740f02.jpg)
