Remington 870 project

While in the market for a Remington 870 shotgun I was preempted by my father who told me to save my money he had and extra. Now what he is going to provide for me on a prolonged temporary status is a remington 870 with standard wood furniture and a 28 inch barrel. Personally not liking the taste of bird in inte particular was looking to go more in a slug thrower concept. While not overly inthusiastic about the modifications he has agreed to let me go in this direction. What I'm intending to do is replace the barrel with a 20 inch with rifle sights, colapseable stock, railed forend with verticle grip and offset tactical flashlight mount. Finish it off with a shell holder and single point quick release sling mount to allow my m4 sling to double for both firearms. The set up should provide ample range and knocked down for in valley deer hunting along with the tactical desires for home protection. I won't be able to begin construction until I get up to pick up the shotgun but I will provide pictures before during and after the transformation.
