Rem 870 Receivers

When Black Aces Tactical was still selling receiver kits separately, I thought about assembling a mag-fed shotgun...but wasn't sure where to get all the parts.  Similarly, if I wanted to build a tactical tube-fed pump, I'd have to buy a normal one and trash the stock parts (or pay out the nose for the stock tactical).  I'd heard that the Police and Marine models had superior non-MIM parts, too.

So I found a site, AI&P Tactical, that sells both virgin receivers and parts.  Cool!  The owner also builds custom shotguns, but as of 2016 only will do 50 per year to avoid the excise tax on firearms manufacturers.
