Anybody modded a 20 gauge 870? Have one that I butchered when I was a kid, but now want it to be something fun for my girl to shoot, also a nightstand gun for her. Receiver is still good. Thinking about an 18" barrel and a +2 extender. Switch out the wooden pump with some polymer, but cant decide on stock. Standard polymer, pistol grip with shoulder stock, retractable, side fold, fold over. Its been a process to even find this stuff for a 20 but I did. Now I'm just not sure about what style and brand of furniture. She has no input. So wondering if any of you have tooled around and could either recommend or advise to stay away from any particular style or manufacturer. Thanks
Pete, I haven't done it yet, but I did talk to the this guy about building an 870 20. Problem with the 20 is the popular accessories don't fit, as you found out.
http://www.aiptactical.com/This shop will make an 870 20 that takes the 12 accessories.
He only works on Remington shottys so he made be a good resource for you. Will also work on your shotgun.
My build was to start out as youth model for the shorter stock, but they can adapt several of the adjustable stocks to the fit the 20.
