That's some old school cool right there. Does an 870 mag extension fit it, or did you have to fab up something special?
I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.
What are you going to do for sights?
There's a 20 gauge M11 local with a 19" barrel and plain bead. My experience with my project 11-48 is that it will need a much higher bead/pedestal.
Thanks! As best I recall that's an 870 extension. I did have to trim a couple of threads off the mag tube for the extension to screw all the way down but that was it. It'll probably get cerakoted black and I'm debating a d&t on top for a pic rail and a dot of some sort. Because I bloody well can.
If the serial number lists are right, it's a 1919 production and it had been fluffed, buffed and parkerized within a inch of it's life when I picked it up so I had no qualms about cutting it. I do wish I'd done was a little bit of research beforehand (this was an impulse buy for sure) because it's old enough that there's been at least 2 parts revisions/redesigns and of course the newer production parts that are available from Numrich, etc don't fit one this old. Oh well.

My buddy has a beater model 11. I thinks he's kinda fond of it but I need to try and talk him out of it.
I know they're expensive but it would be cool to see Browning put our an Auto-5 Whippet Gun 12ga "firearm".
My TAC-14... trades a 10/22 Takedown for it. Had a few .22s, but rather have that “firearm.” Being legal in NJ, even more appealing.
Did the Magpul handstop, sidesaddle, sling mods first. Then, went with the vent-rib barrel. Love the look of it, being I had my Ithaca vent-rib barrel cut down to 20ish”.
The folding brace really is a nice addition, and is very solid. Like someone doing push-ups on it extended type of solid. But if you shoulder it, the sight plane is pretty low.
So, I got the Remington rifle sight barrel. Think it has a modified choke, as well. The rifle sights raise the sight plane high enough that your cheekweld is more normal than the bead sights.
Sorry, I just saw your question. If I don't do a dot, some sort of rifle front sight. Maybe both. Not sure about a rear sight.
