Have we answered the question of the Pardner Pump-870 mods? My brother gave me one for Christmas a few years ago (it is a family tradition that SOMEONE gets a gun for Christmas every year).

So I have an H&R 1871 (or whatever Chinese knock-off of the Rem 870 it is) under my couch. I have so many good shotguns that this one would be about the 20th choice for a field gun that it is relegated to under-the-couch duty. It would be better wiht pistol grip and tactical slide, etc.

Anyone know how easy it is to convert these? Are they close enough to the 870 to accept the dame parts?

Thanks, guys. It's doing it's job in the stock configuration, but I'm always open to a project!

It's very easy to convert. Anything that will fit the 870 will fit the Pardner. As for it being a under the couch duty gun, that's a waste of a place to put for a front line shotgun

NEF/H&R is a damned good company, and they make damned good firearms. You should be ashamed for making that Pardner hang out with the dust bunnies.

I've got the 20ga. and it is well built and built like a tank. I also have 2 870 12ga.

With the reciever being squared off at the back of the reciever would'nt it be difficult
to try to install stocks that fit 870's ???

It does'nt look like you can....Maybe the inards of the shotgun is whats similer to the 870 and thats it because the magazine holds one more round than the 870.

I would compare your Pardner to an 870 before ordering anything...A.H


EDIT::: The barrels will not inner change either

I have one and love it so much it sets next to my bed full of 00. I'll put my life on it any day.

Who said that was first line? I'm just a little past paranoid!

Who said anything about being paranoid?

Paranoid? Who's talking? Somebody talking about me? Who?

Nice sturdy shotgun. I think it beat out the 870 in a test.

I have both the 870 and the Pardner. My side by side comparison of the two really favored the NEF.
An excellent shotgun at an excellent price.
