I turned an 870 into a slug gun. Cantilever barrel and trigger plus some furniture. It was an interesting project and shoots fine but is not crazy accurate even for a slug gun. I am told I need to pin the barrel to the receiver if I want to improve that. If I were doing it over again I would have bought a savage 20 gauge slug gun and been done with it for about the same $ as the mods I put on the 870.
one note of caution I would offer is ammo - 12 gauge slugs and others - is hard to come by. I can’t find the slugs I zeroed my gun for any where. Just make sure that if you buy something, you can get the ammo to feed it.
