[QUOTE="thefenux, post: 1827044, member: 18549"] The gun started out as a standard field grade Remington 1100 from 1963. I bought it with the intention of setting it up for 3-gun competition and home defense. I still have a few things to do to it, but it's mostly there. I apologize for the poor photo quality, but it's the best camera I have currently. [b][Broken External Image][/b] [b][Broken External Image][/b] [B]The stock:[/b] The stock is pretty standard, just shortened to a 13" LOP. I had a [url=http://www.kickeezproducts.com/rocker.php]KICK-EEZ Rocker pad[/url] installed too. It's nice for recoil absorption. [B]The barrel:[/B] [b][Broken External Image][/b] Currently, it's a 26" barrel with a fixed IC choke. I'm going to be shortening it to either 21" or 23". I'm going to keep the vent rib and put in a regular fiber optic bead. For now, I've added a rib mounted fiber sight from TruGlo. [B]The reciever:[/b] [b][Broken External Image][/b] I've added a large charging handle from Nordic Components, an Easy Loader from Dave's Metal Works and a Big Button Safety from Vang Comp. [b][Broken External Image][/b] [b][Broken External Image][/b] [b][Broken External Image][/b] On the other side, I've lined it with velcro so I can mount shell holder cards. I saved a little money and made these myself. So far, I've got four of them made. [B]The foreend:[/B] [b][Broken External Image][/b] [b][Broken External Image][/b] [b][Broken External Image][/b] On the foreend I've added a homemade 2 pack shell holder and a Magpul AFG. [b][Broken External Image][/b] Adding the picatinny rail for the AFG required a little bit of work. I didn't feel like spending $150 for a tri-railed foreend, so I used the Magpul MOE rail segment.
