SBS?

[Alleycat72]

Thinking of doing an SBS on the cheap. Remington 870. I can probably get it done for $550 including the $200 stamp. Probably do 12-12.5" on the barrel. Someone talk me out of it. LOL

Not going to do it, double dog dare

[LangdoniousRex]

I've been thinking the same thing.

I went to one dealer today and got a form 4 going for a suppressor I ordered a week and a half ago. 

I also picked up an 870 from a second dealer.  LOL. 

Form 1 done.

What’s the process on a SBS now? Do you have to have the receiver engraved or something?

Yes.

Do a form 1 just like a sbr.

What do you have to engrave on it?

Name, city, and state.

[jeff43]

I’ve already got a couple of 870’s I could use. So, to  do it myself just cut the barrel down and have it engraved with my name ,city and state?

Yes,..after the stamp comes back. 

[Alleycat72]

Going to rent a facing tool to square up the end of the barrel.

Here’s my super shorty I made out of an 870. It holds 4 rounds, and if I remember correctly the barrel is 6 5/8 inches.  I highly recommend an SBS

Cool,Did you do that one yourself? Is it registered as a AOW or SBS? I was wanting to stay with the buttstock

[my82cam]

It’s an aow, and I did it myself.  It was a very fun project that required a lot of planning.  I turned my grandpas model 31 into an sbs with a 12 inch barrel and kept the stock, definitely nice having a stock on one if you plan to use it a lot.   I couldn’t decide so I did both.

I've gotta find out what I want to do with my slide. It came with a magpul and I'm not a fan.

I'll let you know. I'm waiting until the stamp comes back and I cut it down, but my hand slides around on the magpul. If had rubber panels, it might not be so bad. I don't understand why guys are running them so much.

Id like to have one of mine cut down to about 12” , but i didn’t know how much work it would be to cut down the mag tube and action bars.Hadn’t had time to really look at it and measure. I just was reading Alleycat72’s idea and like it.Would like to have screw in chokes , but it’s probably pointless. For sure want a stock.I got Magpuls now .

It'll end up around 12.3 ish if you want it even with the factory short 4 round tube. If it doesn't shoot like you want it, you can always have a choke installed. I'm planning on shooting buck shot. Federal flight control is a bit of a game changer.

That will be nice then if you don’t have to cut down anything else but the barrel.
