My 1st long gun: Remington 870 Tactical Express

[Hoosier Daddy]

Picked it up yesterday!
It's main purpose is home defense, but I plan to take it to the range/woods and doing some target shooting. I'd also like to tweak it out a bit. Mainly for function, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't sound like fun.

It's tactical. It's cool. But it's not tacticool!

I'd like to replace the stock with one that has the pistol grip built in. Those just felt more natural to me. Or maybe a pistol grip with the collapsible stock. I heard the reduce the recoil quite a bit. I was also thinking of replacing the fore-end out for the kind that has 3 rails so I can add a pistol grip and flashlight eventually.

Where is the best place to buy aftermarket accessories? Best being a balance of affordability, availability and customer service. Also what brands should I be looking at and which should I avoid?

Sounds like the definition of tacticool to me.

The larger city Super Walmarts carry the BlackHawk Accessories. If you like that brand, they have the Spec Ops collapsible butt stock and forend as a package deal for $64.99. That's the best price I have seen (usually over $100.00) I just bought a IAC Hawk 982 model 12 Ga. (It's a 870 tactical copy) so I've been researching add on items for it also.

If you shop Ebay there are a lot of 870 accessories on there to.
