Mesa Tactical provided the SureShell 8 Round Carrier and the Crosshair Hydraulic Recoil Buffer. This makes shooting zombies all day with “high brass” a piece of cake. The pump’s forearm is a Magpul MOE with anti pinch flanges and provisions for picatinny rail sections that allow the mounting of an Asgard Defence Forward Shell Holder. The stock is a Magpul CTR with a heavy recoil butt pad and a high rise cheek piece which helps bring her up to eye level with the Eotech. A Hogue AR-15 Grip is easy on the hand.
The 870’s guts have gotten some work done to improve reliability. The MIM extractor has been replaced with with a machined billet piece from Remington’s LE parts list. The plastic housed stock trigger group has also been replaced with Remington’s LE grade all metal upgraded trigger group. Brownells was the source for these parts. The safety button has been replaced with an easy to work by feel, even with gloves on, “Dome Head” by Vang Comp. As a final touch, since the stock parkerized 870 finish is prone to rusting, the gun was treated to a layer of matte black Cerakote.
