Back in the day (1989 in fact) I took an 1100, chopped teh 28inch VR barrel to 20 inches, added a Polychoke, Millet Three Bar Sights, Choate Stock and forend, Choate follower, Choate Extension tube and a UM enlarged safety. That thing was just hell on hogs in the scrub...!!!!!!!
Gundog, I would still be shopping for an old and ugly 870 and built it up from there.
