![]() ![]() Parts are sprayed and then thermally cured. Scattergun technicians then apply the Armor-Tuff® finish. They are then washed and the carbon steel parts parkerized. Once the base gun has been stripped, inspected and tuned, its parts are thoroughly blasted with a fine grit media. The Tactical Response shotgun uses an 18-inch Remington barrel with a three-inch chamber. Wilson’s gunsmiths fit this sight and its base over the Remington bead and base, epoxy it and then pin it in place. The front sight is of ramp design and has a tritium insert for low-light sighting. Like the rest of the gun, it is rugged and effective-I like it a lot.įor low-light sighting, Standard Model uses ramp front sight with tritium insert. If the gun were to be dropped on its rear sight, I am certain that it would not shear or collapse at the aperture. While Wilson/Scattergun could easily cast this part, they chose to machine it from billet to make it as strong as possible. Once the sight has been adjusted, the hex head screw is tightened and sight retains zero until the shooter needs to make an adjustment. ![]() It features a large ghost ring aperture rear sight that is adjustable for windage and elevation.

In fact, grasping the magazine extension and the barrel between my thumb and forefinger and squeezing hard revealed almost no flex. Unlike other manufacturers who make an extension tube so thin that a bracket is needed to hold it securely to the barrel, Scattergun’s extension tube is stout and rigid enough that no bracket is needed. While they’re at it, the follower is replaced with a non-binding, high-visibility follower made from a tough plastic that is unlikely to break or chip.Ī two-round extension tube of their own manufacture (Scattergun Technologies) is used on the Standard Model TR-870. The magazine tube spring is also replaced with a heavy-duty part. Trigger groups are taken apart and rebuilt with stronger springs. Wilson’s gunsmiths strip the new guns and check the parts for fit and tune as needed. Wilson uses a brand-new Remington 870 three-inch Magnum pump-action shotgun as the foundation for his custom tactical shotgun. ![]()
