Diamond D leather makes awesome accessories. I have a butt cuff that holds extra ammo and a custom sling for my marlin 30-30. sexy as fuck

>12 Gauge Remington 870 Tactical
Anything from Mesa tactical is pretty high quality, but I had to beat the God damn shit out of a replacement part on their side saddle to get it in. No idea if I'll be able to get it out. I have uncle Mike sling swivels on all long guns. Love them. Forget about a bandoleer sling, they suck cuz bad retention. Get a dump pouch or shot shell pouch instead.
>.40 S&W M&P
Streamlight tlr series is working well for me, but I wish I got green laser instead of red. Meprolight and trijicon night sights are good. There's one more good major brand that I can't remember the name of. Starts with an a.

How many accessories is too many?
Brayden Smith
Useless accessories like finger grooves on magwells are worthless. Multiple accessories with the same function is too much. Accessories that don't complement the optimal use of a weapon, like a bipod or 10x scope on a 16 inch barrel. Anything that you'll never use, like a micro red dot on top of another optic. Etc. Use common sense and don't be a wuss
Liam Ortiz
Would it be over the top to setup a seperate handguard with accessories tailored to an altered role.
Like I have a scorpion micro with a red dot setup for HD/cqb. Would it be stupid to setup a slightly longer handguard with a bipod, pressure switch, grip panels; and run it with a supressor and qd magnifier as a medium range setup. Or even run a magnified optic on a reversed qd mount on the handguard rails and put the eotech on a qd to keep with the micro handguard instead of running it with a magifier. Thoughts?
Nathan Gonzalez
I like accessories.
Noah Bell

>Anything from Mesa tactical
>Get a dump pouch or shot shell pouch instead.
TY for recommendations! I went to Mesa Tactical's website and built a shopping cart for my 870.
I went to Remington's website and compared their stock synthetic 870 vs the 870 tactical I got, and almost think it'd be a better idea to get a plain 870 for some of the Mesa parts.
mesatactical.com
8 round/8.5" saddle rail(would need to replace stock xs ghost ring with another sight) $155
mag clamp w/ sling swivel $75
mag clamp w/ rail $90
barrel clamp w/ rail $90
pocket ambi hook loop $12
mohawk forend $40
didnt pick out a butt stock yet, i think i want shoulder + pistol?

Chink 20rd star mag, cheese grater handguard and maybe tech sights. Other than that keep crapco and other tacticool shit of of it.
Sebastian Howard
>Diamond D leather
oh that leather is beautiful.
those buttstock sleeves, slings, swivels, and scabbards would go great on my .410 winchester, my 20 gauge winchester, 30-30 marlin lever. that stuff looks really nice.
one of the holsters may be nice for my 6 shooter, idk, they all look shorter than mine.
and its expensive af too =)
Aaron Nelson
my brother was able to get a tactical 870, he aint selling and idk which vendor at the show he got her from. sorry lad, but if he can find one, it shouldn't be too hard

>Streamlight tlr series is working well for me, but I wish I got green laser instead of red. Meprolight and trijicon night sights are good. There's one more good major brand that I can't remember the name of. Starts with an a.
The Trijicon RMR Relflex sight looks like a great sight for a pistol or a shotgun.
Streamlight has a nice looking railmount flashlight + laser combo
TYVM for suggestions.
Lucas Williams
Best place to get a Mesa Tactical LEO adapter for a Remington 870 or a good alternative? Thanks
Josiah Murphy
noguns here. I always wondered what was the point of the heatshields.
It's aesthetic af on shottys, and the name is kinda self explanatory, but is there really a need?
Can you really get a barrel THAT hot? And even if you can, you're not touching the gun there.
Enlighten me Jow Forums
Michael Murphy
I have a savage arms bolt action .308 rifle. I'm going hunting next month, and want the best setup I can get, without spending a fortune. I'm using a right handed rifle even though I'm a lefty. Not sure if relevant, but maybe there's something out there to help me
Luke Howard
>Can you really get a barrel THAT hot? And even if you can, you're not touching the gun there.
Yes, retard. Machine guns used to almost universally require huge water-cooling jackets to make sure they didn't deform and melt from the heat of firing. That's steel, deforming from the heat.
A shotgun isn't going to get that bad, but it'll still burn the shit out of your hand after a good few rounds.
Zachary Ramirez
bump, deus vult.
Cooper Adams
After a dozen or so rounds through even a pump shotty tightly grabbing the barrel by accident would make you very much regret that action.
Nathaniel Anderson
When I was a kid I had a neighbor that served as a machine Gunner in the Korean war. He said when the gooks would zerg rush so hard he would have to change barrels when they started glowing red. Said the gooks would just step over the piles of dead gooks and keep charging the gun positions knowing they were going to die.
Levi Richardson
Was waiting to put this on an armslist thread, but it fits here.
The fine owner of this lever gat knows how to properly accessorize
John Davis
>tactical lever action
is this for some kind of hybrid western-cyberpunk dystopia?
Tyler Lopez
no one wanna rep any more accessory brands?
Cameron Price
Streamlight, magpul, manticore arms, sbtactical, HBI, taylor freelance, CGW, trijicon...
Ryan Nelson
I have one of those ATI folding stocks like in OPs picture. I don't like it, feels cheap.
Kayden Long
Pretty sure all folding shotguns feel like that. It's just a dumb idea.
Leo Rogers
TYVM, looking through these now.
I also found tech sights, pretty cool looking.
and promag who doesnt say anything about their origin in their about us page so im assuming chinese, however i haven't found anyone else who makes >10rd mags for the marlin 795
Gavin Ortiz
>Streamlight
good lighting, couldnt find pricing when i looked last night
>magpul
nice array of addons for multiple arms, I can get a few
>manticore arms
looks like a lot but i dont own any of the battle rifles they list in theb shop by arms catalog
>sb tactical
looks nice but like manticore, i dont own any of the arms they list
>HBI
chinese? dont own any of those arms either
>taylor freelance
nice looking but stupid and expensive parts
>CGW
looks bretty cool and blingy, but dont into cz
>trijicon
very nice very fucking pricey optics. i love the mini reticle but it costs more than my guns.
need to look further in their pistol 3 dot and shotty fiber optic sights.
TYVM again for those, any one got any more good brands to look into?
OR
anyone got any brands to avoid?
Jonathan Jenkins
If any of your guns can take a buffer tube woth an adapter you can use 80% of sb tacticals products. Do research nigga. Nobody likes to spoonfeed adults.
Juan Stewart

Liam Parker
shoulder thing that goes up
Cameron Williams
what said, with separate uppers you also won't have to re-zero the mid-range setup whenever you take it off.
Also with the separate uppers you can run a shorter barrel for HD/cqb and a longer barrel for medium range.
Jackson Green
FUCK those ATI folding stocks, especially for moss500s. On an 870 or 590 it might be less bad but
>reciever tang safety is unreachable
>stock is fucking WIDE
>pinches you easily trying to collapse it
>uncomfortable as hell, GRP cuts into your cheek and will saw a gash if you dump a tube through it
>huge bulbous hinge protrusion if you shoot it pistol grip
>gets in the way of a pic rail/optics
>overpriced for build quality
kuso product desu
Gabriel Lewis
Ive shot trap and skeet and two or three rounds in the barrel gets so hot it'll burn your fingertips. Barrels, especially double barrels, are pretty massive and they retain the heat, even if its 5 minutes between rounds it'll still be pretty hot.
Hunter Wright
oh shit nigger what are you doing
Zachary Cruz
still looking for more suggestions of accessory brands to look at for my funs.
