More Information
This video course is designed to teach YOU how to convert your basic Remington Model 870 into the ultimate tactical or home defense weapon. Starting with a basic used 870 12 gauge, AGI President and gunsmith Gene Kelly shows how anyone can build their own tactical shotgun using commonly available accessories and basic tools.
The course starts with a discussion of accessories & options available and then breaks down the actual work into its basic steps. Gene shows what modifications are actually covered in detail along with bolt carrier conversion to override feed jams. Barrel work covered in this course includes the correct way to measure the barrel and how to properly shorten & crown it. Custom barrels are also shown. Sights are such a big part of the total package that several variations are covered. You'll learn how to install them using a mill to drill and tap for screws as well as modern epoxy installations. Gene will also teach you everything you need to know to refinish your gun. You'll learn how to dissasemble the parts, prepare them for finishing and then how to apply Gun Kote, a modern tactical finish.
Gene takes you through a full function test of the finished gun. He'll then discuss safe home storage, locking devices, and concludes with a demonstration of the effects of various ammunition on walls, and wrapping up with a bonus firepower exhibition featuring the gun we built on camera, a chopped Mossberg 590, a Winchester 97 Trenchgun & a rare Striker-12 from the AGI collection.
If you've ever wanted a tactical shotgun, or wondered how you could build one on your own, this is the course for you! Don't waste your time and money trying to decide what part syou need, or what modifications really work.
