For a while now I have been considering building a fun/home defense shotgun from a stripped receiver because I didn’t want to buy a full gun and then have to “throw away” too many parts that I won’t end up using. Well recently I pulled the trigger and impulse bought a stripped 870 wingmaster receiver off of gunbroker for $52 and it turns out after buying it the gun was manufactured pre-1968. I am aware of the ejector and shell latches looks issues some older models have. I have done my research and I am confident I can “easily lol” replace those if needed.

Does anyone have any other advice for a project like this?

Also, I forgot to mention and I know this is a “concern” for older model 870’s but I already figured out it is a 2 3/4” frame.
