Livin' in a van, down by the river!
I have a 870 3+1 Serbu Super Shorty with a 9 inch barrel. I would like to have a vent ribbed barrel cut down for it so a sight bead can be installed on it. I would like to be able to "aim" my ridiculous little sawed off shotgun.

I contacted Serbu and they said they couldn't do a barrel for me till sometime next year when they make Super Shorties again.

So who can I send my AOW off to that can cut, bead, and most importantly, relocate the barrel lug?

This is absolutely no help, but I would think since you have the original barrel you could take both to any competent gunsmith in your area and he should be able to do it. Hell if I had a Tig welder I could do it and I am by no means a welder.

I believe those lugs are silver soldered on, you don't wanna be tig welding on a thin barrel, it will survive but why even put a sight on it, should it warp

I silver soldered my lug with map gas mine is a 500 mossberg I did myself on a F1

Easy to do but you will need to repark the barrel when done.

I wanted a ribbed barrel also but no ball I run a piece of white waterproof medical tape down the rib.

Stands right out in low light.

You might get in contact with Walter at Safety Harbor Firearms. He was making AOWs for a while.

This doesn't answer your question at all, but, have you considered a small optic instead of (or in addition to) a vent rib? I'm a big fan of red dot and holographic sights on shotguns.

Just drill and tap the plain barrel. I installed an Ithaca MP brass bead on my short 870.

How do you guys like those shortened horizontal grips? I like my folding vert grip but those look nice.

I like it, it took me a while to figure out how to make it work. I cut down a TC Trap fore end. I wanted mine to look like a standard pistol grip 870, just shorter. I shoot it like a pistol so I don’t need a vertical grip on front.

I chopped down a wood one to fit.

It's OK with the wood. Need to get one of those sling mounts so the pump hand can't slip on front of the barrel.

If I could find a wood PG that wasn't like a million bux I'd set it up that way.

With the plastic it's 19 OAL with the wood it's 30 OAL.

I need some photo classes you guys take really nice pix.
