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.

The stock:
The stock is pretty standard, just shortened to a 13" LOP. I had a KICK-EEZ Rocker pad installed too. It's nice for recoil absorption.
The barrel:

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.
The reciever:

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.

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.
The foreend:

On the foreend I've added a homemade 2 pack shell holder and a Magpul AFG.

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. It required milling out the inside of the foreend and then grinding down on the metal nuts so that the piston would clear. I'm pretty happy with it, but I got some nasty looks from my gunsmith for doing that to the beautiful original factory wood.
Still to do:
As mentioned, I still need to cut the barrel. I'm also going to have it threaded for chokes when it's cut. I'm also still needing to add a +4 or +5 extension and barrel clamp.
I'm still debating adding a light, but as of yet, I have no idea what light I want or how I want to mount it.
