It's a Magpul Hand stop. And the color is FDE. Indoor lighting isn't the greatest for photos. Will try some outdoor shots this weekend.

Here is my Mossberg 500. When I spotted it at my lgs, I had to take it home with me. It did come with the adjustable stock which I love since I have a short length of pull. I bought the pistol grip to try, and I like the stock much better. This is a flex gun, so it is quick and easy to change them out.

New here, I just joined to tell everyone that has posted a pic of their shotties that you're all really bad influences. I found this thread one night and it took about 15 minutes and I just had to redo my regular old 870 express.

I started off with a 20" barrel with rifle sights (I hog hunt a good bit so the sights will help with slugs) then grabbed a new stock and tactical forearm of ebay. I cut the stock down to 12" and trimmed the pad down to fit (that was an adventure) I also added a little texture to the grip because it was a little thin for my ham hands. I then painted them satin black and clear coated them in satin which produced a little more shine then I wanted. I hit them both with a little webbing for added texture.

I was messing with some new camera settings this afternoon and edited a few shots for you guys.

I better shot of the grip.

I still plan on adding a +3 extension and a velccro side saddle.

Also pictured is my XDM 45
 
I wanted to build a waterfowl gun and was cruising Gun Broker when I stumbled across this tactical Remington 1100.
It could be modded for geese and retain the tactical features.

It was a 3" Mag with a cut barrel to 28", so the choke was gone. It had the Speed Feed stock pieces, magazine tube, Mesa clamp / rail, Choate operating handle, DMW easyloader, along with all the OEM pieces included. All of the metal parts had a flat black Duro Coated paint job that was nicely applied.

Image


I trimmed the rib back and sawed the barrel to 26 1/4" to have the choke even to the magazine tube. I purchased Carlson's extended True Chokes, IC / M / F. A friend had the reamer and tap set for the install, and it went quick and easy in a lathe. It finished at 27" with the choke installed. The tubes were masked, degreased, and painted with flat black paint. A 3mm green easy hit sight was added to the the rib. A long forcing cone was reamed and polished to complete the barrel mods.

Image


The easy loader was installed but not tuned. While the trigger group was out for tuning a Vang safety was installed along with new springs (sear, firing pin, and main) and recoil bushing. The Choate handle also required a proper fitting.

The shell holder pockets in the stock worked well; however, they were to short to accept two 3" shells per pocket. A 1/4" thick plate of black nylon 6/6 was added with the holes and spring follower slots machined on an angle to match the stock. Now it clears two 3" shells with a 1/16th of clearance.

Camoclad Battle-Ready-Green tape was applied. The regular shotgun kit and an extra 2" wide roll were required to finish the mag. tube and pistol grip. Rectangular windows were cut to view the serial number and chambering on the frame and barrel.

Image


I took it to Trap Range for testing. With a Modified tube and 1 1/8 oz of #7 1/2 at 1200 FPS it broke 23 of 25 targets from the 16 yard line. Worked good on the range and the empties stay in the chamber with this single gas holed 3" barrel. Pretty good for the first time with a pistol grip.

First day of early goose season a wildlife officer is awaiting us as we return to the truck. He is shaking his head and asked if it is plugged. Yes. I replied. The longest one piece plug I have ever made! I guess he did not believe me as he checked it anyway. :D
