My new, (very exciting) Purchase! - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

I got an AMAZING deal on this Remington 870 Magnum. As you can see from the pics, I got too excited and didn't take a before pic. So far all I've done is the AR style 6 position stock (factory stock lying above it). However, I'm going to do a Wilson Combat clone and coat most of the external in an OD green Moly Resin and get some combat accessories for her. Any suggestions for sights? I am going to put a surefire flashlight on it for HD.

I couldn't wait until it was finished to show it off. It's been raining cats and dogs and it's too humid to strip/blast any firearms so I'm sitting on pins and needles waiting to get these projects started

. I hate the waiting game, my CX4 Storm and XD45C are both at a standstill until the humidity fades.

Very nice, I want to get one of those. How much was it? I don't get the humidity thing though. I shoot/clean my guns in any weather, what does humidity have to do with it? They are machines meant to be used, not safe queens! =)

I paid $300. The humidity means I can't sandblast/parkerize the metal in order to coat it with color. It's no problem shooting in this weather, but I don't want to expose bare metal to the humidity and risk rust before i get a chance to color it.

Ah, got it. That's a sharp looking gun.

Knoxx SpecOps Stock, SureFire Rail set (tre' Tacticool) maybe a picatinny rail for the top to mount a red dot to? Or hell... just make it purdy green and shoot the piss out of it

Shotguns are cool. I think I like the shotties better than anything else, actually... Maybe that's why I have eight of them.

Yup, everytime I look over at this 870, I start to grin ear to ear
