Can I tactically modify a Remington 870?
Just recently I was given a brand new Remington 870 shotgun as a gift. It is a great gun, and my father was telling me just how many modifications/accessories there are for it. I have been looking on the internet and am trying to find some tactical mods for the gun. For example, surefire light attachment under the barrel, as well as perhaps rail mounts for tactical sights, shorter barrel, stocks, ext? I have found a few on the net, but I am under the impression that you need a diferent version of the 870, true or false? Just any general information about modifying this great weapon is appreciated too. Thanks

I have been hearing the word “tactical” used in reference to firearm accessories for years now and still not exactly sure what it means as you and others seem to use the word.
Since I do have a couple of degrees in military history and “tactics”, you would think that it would be clear, but I’m still trying to get a mental grasp on why the word ‘tactical’ has come to mean black plastic accessories that bolt on a firearm and usually means a ridiculous amount of useless and sometimes dangerous accessories like lazers, lights and the like.
I can see why a policeman may need a light on a gun….but for defending my home from an intruder, the last thing I want is to give away my position, sacrificing my home turf advantage.
The term that applies much better I think is “Mall Ninja”.
Semantics aside, you can buy a whole buch of stuff for your Remington 870 that should work…..barrels, stocks, magazines, clamp on weaver/picatinny rails, etc. Be careful about spending a lot….most likely the model you want is actually sold like you would like it set up and you may do better to buy a synthetic stock and short barrel model outright than to change all the parts off your hunting model.
