Tactical 870 Question

[flick1900]

I own a tactical Remington 870, but would like to have a breech added to the end of the barrel. There is no choke on the end of the barrel. Is there a breech available that will fit? Thanks for your input.

Doing a quick search, it doesn't look good. Unless you have a barrel threaded for choke tubes, there isn't a good solid way to attach a door breacher. You'll need a new barrel. Unless you check again more closely and your barrel has the choke threads (I thought they all did?).

Most of the 18" barrels do NOT have the threading.

There is a guy on INGO that will thread your barrel for $70 IIRC He is in the INDY area. I'm sure if you start a thread in the long guns section with the title need barrel threaded he will find you.

Here's the thread.

Remington has made several "tactical" models of it's 870, some with barrels to accept chokes, some with out. If yours does not have a threaded barrel to accept choke tubes, and a extended ported choke is a 'must have', you have a few options, have a gunsmith thread the barrel to accept choke tubes, buy another barrel and "breacher" choke, or sale your shotgun, put some extra money with it, and get the shotgun that you want, the latter probably being the most cost effective option.

Could have one made, silver solder over muzzle.

Typically 18" barrels for 870 are slug gun barrels. So they don't have threading and are choked usually to a modified pattern during the lathing process.

This looks nice but says it will not fit remington due to front sight base. I don't know what your setup looks like but maybe you could make it work?

They list a bolt on door breacher called the "zombie thumper" for the 870 but for some reason it doesn't allow you to click on the link so maybe you could contact them.

Buy a couple of 12 ga [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]frangible breachingshells and try them out a piece of plywood with a 2x6 backer.with the gun you have. I guarantee they will work fine. The breaching choke/brake is BS and for wannabe/poser/mall cop/neverwas'es. Be a man and suck it up. Use what you got, not what the "cool doods" think is invaluable!

FYI, MidwayUSA list a 18 1/2 barrel that is threaded for Rem Chokes. According to the reviews, the barrel come with a Breacher choke, it is not listed in the description, but the reviews say it is included.

IMO, they are useless unless you need your shotgun to double as an apple corer. They do make the posers feel cool though.

OK, now that we've helped you with that, can I join your entry team? Which doors are we taking?

Maybe this needs to be in a separate thread, but why do we need a breacher at all? Can't we just aim at the proper distance? Or is it one of those things that you have to do with your gaze averted?
