So I don't need a heat shroud, bayonet lug, pistol grip, collapsible stock, ghost ring sights, side saddle, buttstock shell holder, forearm pistol grip, one-point sling, and desert camouflage on my $300 870 to make it effective?!?look at the nuggets scrambling to buy "military" shotguns. Get an 870, put a 18.5" barrel on it, and it serves its purpose. But you cant convince the nuggets of that, cause they dont see them type of guns on the picture show or in vidya games.
