just wondering if any of you guys ever updated these parts and think its worthwhile or waste of money>>>

Carrier Latch Spring

Tactical/metal/alum Follower

Non-MIM Extractor

Magazine Spring (Nordic ?)

Anti-Walk Trigger Housing Pin

....... maybe something else you can think of ??

thank you!

PS mine is not a police model; I have a tactical magnum one.

 

 

Though I understand why these upgrades are done and why they are worthwhile I ask you this. How many hundreds of thousands of field guns are out there and have no malfunctions.

 

Just a thought...

very true. that's y my Remi is as stock as the day I bought it

but then u go on the Internet and start reading things and it makes u think well maybe I shud

this damn Internet always makes me want to buy mods

Question would be, what do you use the 870 for?

 

I still own my father's 870, from 1952, and I cannot even fathom the number of shells run through it and never a need for any upgrades. Standard maintenance certainly, nothing custom.

 

Think about the fact that Remi has made something like 12 million 870s in 60+ years of manufacturer. I don't believe you'd find 0.01% sporting the needed "internet-saying" upgrades.

 

IMHO, of course.

Let us shotgun newbs have our fun! AR parts are expensive these days if at all available!

Went through defensive shotgun class and decided to do some mods to improve performance, combat reload times, and/or decrease threat response times:

 

Stainless Steel Follower

Non-MIM Extractor

Tactical Jumbo Head Safety

6 RD Side Saddle Shell Holder

Tac4 4-Round Speed Stripper

 

I will be adding a picatinny rail section on the barrel for my light with a coiled cord and remote switch.
