What’s wrong with the Remington 870? The list isn’t very long. Yet there are ways that the classic pump shotgun can be improved. And Nighthawk has worked out a laundry list of upgrades that cover every inch of the gun. What goes in looks pretty familiar to just about everyone, but the shotgun that comes out the other end is nothing short of perfect.
