    Added a Magpul stock and a CREE bulb. +2 extension will be the next purchase.

    I replaced the old school bulb with a $13 CREE bulb. Total investment now of $223 w the bulb and MP stock.

    I love my rifle sighted 870p!

    I wanted wood furniture so many moons ago a local dealer that I was friendly with let me come in and pick thought their selection of department trade ins to find one gun with the stock and receiver I liked best and one with the barrel I liked best and we swapped them around so I could get the gun I wanted. I added a +1 extension and a light and Velcro side saddle.

    I couldn’t really care less about attending shooting classes anymore, but about the only one I’d still like to get to, because I never did it, is a Randy Cain shotgun class.

    Let us know how yours shoots!

    Here ya go. It’s advertised as a 1200 lumen. But I’m pretty sure it’s not putting that much out. But it’s definitely better than the old bulb. For $13 (w tax), I figured I’d give it a shot.

    Be wary of the factory +2 extensions...the barrel clamp can push it out of alignment with the tube.

    Nice! My old 6P has the 120 lumen KX4(?) head, but this looks like it will make the thing much more usable.

    Ya, I hate the factory extensions with a passion. It’ll be a Scattergun, Vang or Nordic.

    I’ll try to take some pics in the back yard tonight showing the light output.

    @Chuck Whitlock here’s a picture from my deck. The fence is probably 25 yards from where I’m standing to take the pic.

    I really like the +1 extension on my 870P, for what it's worth. I have both the +1 and +2 from Wilson.

    Just ordered a Scattergun +2, VC jumbo safety and a MP sling from Brownells. $82 with the free shipping code and my LE discount. Total investment now of $305. About the only thing left on my list is to replace the stock sights. I really want a set of XS sights that aren’t tritium, but I don’t see them anywhere on the XS site.

    It's amazing to me that their are local gun stores out there with deals and hidden jems like this. Seems all the things I see at local stores are priced out of being reasonable.

    Absolute score. And you've tuened it into a really great shotgun.
