You're right about the Express, but what the finished gun would be more than an Express (depending in part on what you start with).

Dave, I've looked at the parts and read Kuehnhausen's excellent book on the Remington shotguns. I could do most of this -- but maybe not as well, and the parts would cost enough that I am not sure I'd save any money anyway. And to do the shell latches right, I'd have to buy tools to stake them in (right now, they are literally falling out of the receiver). I bought this 870 for less than a C-note, so the finished product -- refinished, refurbed and Flexitabbed (is that a word? ) would still be under $300. I may go for it...I was hoping to hear from someone who'd had it done!
