Remington 870 Makeover

Well I gave my old 870 Express a makeover. I been hunting with it for about seven years now with the Magpul stock & Truglo Tru-Brite red dot which I've been very happy with. But now I'm getting older & the weight was getting to bother me more so I went back to the original stock & changed to a lighter Swampfox green dot. All this cut about 3/4's of a pound off the weight. Don't seem like much but it was very noticeable & cheaper than buying another turkey gun. I wrapped the stock in Mossy Oak Infinity camo skins & also re-wrapped the receiver & forearm since it was showing some signs of abuse. The barrel still looked good so I left it alone. I also gave it a good cleaning since it was pretty dirty on the inside. Anyway here are some pics I took of it. I am very pleased with the way it turned out.
