Send the barrel to Tactical Ordnance and have them Vang Comp it.

Haha don't tempt me man... trust me I've thought about it. With the exception of a better recoil pad that's really the only mod left.

I primarily shoot slugs though so I'm not sure how much I'd really gain from it.

Just sent my 14", 590A1 barrel off to TacOrd last week. I'll let you know how it shoots when I get back.

Oh beauty! That's definitely the final frontier of shotgun pimping. Have you shot any groups with slugs yet?

I don't have the barrel back yet.

However... I have shot a vang comp'd shotgun with 00 buck and slugs. The felt recoil seemed to be softer, but not life changingly so. The grouping for cheap buckshot was also tighter, but again... not life changingly so.

I still think it's worth the upgrade if you want a fully loaded shotgun thiugh.

I hear you, I was just curious if you'd shot some groups before hand to compare. I agree it'd certainly be nice to have. You should definitely post your rig when the barrel arrives!

I mainly shoot wax slugs for practicing with this. They're a lot of fun and perfectly safe if made properly. Cheap as birdshot, don't shred your targets, safer to shoot at steel, etc. If made properly (not cutting off the crimp) they are very safe. I've gotten pretty reasonable accuracy as well, definitely staying within an IPSC head box at 25yds.
