16 Gauge 870 Build Complete!
Well thanks to a member on here I was able to trade for a 870 16 ga Youth model. I ordered a thumb hole stock and had it dipped by TNT Hydrographics and had the barrel and receive Cerakoted by Coastal Cerakote. I had William at Sumtoy make .615 choke and l loaded up some of Hal’s 1 7/8 oz loads with #9’s. I think this one will hunt!

These are all I use and have been for years. Very durable and adjustable. I just don’t want to go red dot or scope on a turkey gun. The Truglo’s let me shoot a nice hunting pattern without the fear of missing at close range.

Is the shurshot stock a 12 gauge? Did you have to modify it to fit?

It is a 12 gauge stock and it fits spot on. The 16 uses a lot of 12 gauge parts
Re: 16 Gauge 870 Build Complete!
As some else has stated, it's real cool to see a gun revamped and revitalized. Definitely a shooter, awesome job !

I've had a soft spot for 16's for most of my hunting life beginning with an A5 Sweet Sixteen over 50 years ago. The Queen of the Uplands hits the bottom lands. Nice job. Gil
Re: 16 Gauge 870 Build Complete!
Very good hunting pattern, and your gun turned out nice.
Re: 16 Gauge 870 Build Complete!
Very nice looking upgrades to that 870! It should work like a charm. Got my first 16 gauge bird with that gun, last spring.
