T Bacus Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 After getting my VersaMax back from Triangle I decided to try opening up a loading port myself. My son likes shooting his 870 when we 3 gun together so I decided his gun was my perfect victim, I mean patient. I'm rather pleased with how it came out.

JDMarshall Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 What do you plan to do on the parkerizing? I've done my 870 and rubbed a little bluing pen on it but it still gets rusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickster Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 T Bacus, this looks very good. I did mine a while back but I can see by your pic I need to get more aggressive and take more material off. Did you do this with hand tools or use a milling machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a vertical mill for the cuts and then cleaned them up with a foredom (fancy dremel). As for finish, the gun went off today to Metaloy for hard chrome. Will post pics when it gets back.
