Gun and gear reviews Vang Comp vs Regular 590A1

I was recently watching the Garand Thumb video on the Vang Comp 870 in which he compared it to the 590A1. The results found in his tests were that the 590A1 was actually slightly more accurate both with federal flight control and bad sterling buckshot.

Of course this is one test with 1 gun so results would likely not be the same from person to person, but does anyone actually have experience with the Vang comp?

In the video he mentions the 590s excellent barrel harmonics which is why accuracy difference is negligible. Does anyone know this to be particularly true in their experience?

From what i heard vang comp is merely just a custom made, smoother feeling 590a1. What occurred in the video could just be individual differences. builds such as the one by vang comp mostly tunes up the feeling, handling, erganomics, and quality of the shotgun. However, the intrinsic mechanical accuracy for solid projectiles should remain identical

Not quite. The Vangcomp job involves machine work to lengthen the forcing cone which creates an internal "choke" and the option to port the barrel. It's been proven greatly improve the size of buck shot groups at distance.
