Pimped out my 870
Since a few ofyou guysare showing offyour newly tricked out turkey guns, I thought I'd show you all mine. It's an older style 870 express mag(I got it for christmas when I was 12 years old, I remember that day clearly 
) with a IC black diamond strike choke, tru-glow fiber optics sights, Shurshot stock andAveryslip-resistant sling. It's barrel is a little on the long side (28") but I've spent enough money on it this year that I'll just deal with it. I'll be shooting 3 in hevi-shot #6's (2 oz), I was lucky enough to get some before Cabela's sold out 
. Anyway, check it out:
I'll tell you what, getting off the forearm tubenut was crazy-hard and I had to drop another $30 bucks to buy a special tool from Midway to remove it. If there is one design flaw in the 870, this would be it....

The forearm nut is a bit of a pain, but I removed mine with a pair of needlenose pliers held open. I've got an old express mag too, if it wasn't for the M as the last character in the serial number, you wouldn't even know it was a magnum.
