I assembled the first one last Saturday night and took it to the range on Sunday. I sighted it in at 25 yards and then fired 10 groups with several types of ammunition. I did not clean the bore or fire fouling shots between brands; I just loaded the magazine and shot the group. The groups fascinate me. All 8 types of ammo printed in almost the same place on the targets but the point of aim was the same for all 10 groups. The groups are listed by size not sequence shot.
Sorry folks but I am too old and tired to adopt new brothers, sisters, etc. Sorry.
Viper,
I don't think I had any flyers with this rifle, at least not yet. One never knows what tomorrow will bring with it.
I am sure your brother will love the 870, do it.
Renegade,
"It will be very interesting to see if all three "identical" rifles shoot as well. "... Yes, I agree. I'll be posting the results of the other two as I complete them. I plan to get another done this weekend.
Tenspot,
"will clarks sell that Mag release seperately?" Well I think so but you would need to send them the factory mag release. They drill and tap the factory mag release then install the extended release into the factory release. Give them a call they are usually very pleasent people to deal with.
All my brothers know so far is that I am giving them "something" and they need to be at my place the morning of May 3rd to pick the one they want, if they don't show they don't get it. So I need to complete one this weekend and one next weekend.
870 is great, make sure its a wingnmaster though, its SOOOO! much nicer than a express. I just picked up a used one on gunbroker for 150 to kill turkeys. Its so pretty, my girl is jelous
Looks like you've got a good shooter there. But with that list of parts, I'll bet all three will be good shooters. Are these twin bothers or did you just choose May 3rd as the day to give it to them? Hope they get you something good!
No, not twins. One is 40 the other is 37. May 3rd is the date they picked as the day they both could be at my place at the same time. Both of their birthdays are in March.
