AI&P Tactical Custom Shotguns are being used by LEO's in 27 states including local, state and Federal Agencies. I also provide Armorer service, rebuild and refinish weapons for Police Departments. I am a Remington Factory Certified Law Enforcement Armorer, Certified on the Remington 870 Police Shotgun and Remington 11-87 Police Shotgun and only build on the Remington 870 and 11-87. I carried a Remington 870 Shotgun during my career and know of no better shotgun made. My weapons are true upgrades, not paint, bells and whistles that have nothing to do with performance. I formed, trained and commanded HRT's for 6 years, I am SWAT certified and I understand the application of a shotgun. If you are looking for a Duty Weapon, Home Defense Shotgun or a fighting shotgun then I have three very important bits of advice for you. 1. Keep it basic 2. Keep it basic 3. Keep it basic. A shotgun is a close quarters weapon that is designed for rapid deployment. The more junk you put on it the less effective it becomes. I will try to talk you into a simple basic weapon. Once I have my say, I will shut up and put what you want on the weapon (within limits) The weapon you design is to protect you and yours not me and mine. If you are comfortable with the weapon it will be more effective in your hands. I keep the hours of 1100 to 0200 7 days a week open for business so I can answer West Coast e-mail, so call between those times. If I am in the shop I will not be able to answer so leave a message as I check e-mail and phone mail often and will call you back.

Good news: From 8-1-2010 to 12-31-2010 all AI&P Tactical Models will come with a $30 cash rebate coupon from Remington. This does not include the models built on the Police Receiver.
The first question most people ask is how long does this take? I do not build the weapon until payment comes in. Once payment is received it will take from 2 - 7 days. Much depends on how many weapons are on the build board. Rebuids take from 1 - 2 weeks as I will not parkerize one weapon and all depends on how many I have in so I can parkerize several once the tank is heated up.
LEO duty weapons and weapons for LE Agencies go to the head of the line. If this is a problem then please shop somewhere else. I am Remington Law Enforcement Armorer and that is my primary business.
I have given you the long on this and most all weapons are finished in a couple days. There are a few exceptions if I have to order parts as that can take a week, however, I keep most all parts for the 870 and 11-87 on hand.
These are true custom weapons and I am the only person that will touch your weapon after it comes out of the bead blast cabinet. Other who do this are larger operations and have become simply, smaller production lines and several people will work on your weapon. Try calling them and asking to speak to the person who built your weapon.
I am a straight forward and honest person to do business with. I have over 1,000 ratings on Gun Broker under the user name aippi, every one of them an A+ and have never gotten less then an A+. That speaks volumes about how I do business.
IF YOU ARE GOING TO A GUN FIGHT, TAKE A SHOTGUN. IF YOU CAN'T TAKE A SHOTGUN, DON'T GO.
I don't know who first said this, but I bet he lived a long life.....
There are some big name businesses that are building Custom Tactical Shotguns on the 870 platform. Many are no more then painted Remington 870 shotguns with a lot of mess on them and there are no internal upgrades to enhance the performance. Others have gimmick barrels that claim tighter groups and reduction of muzzle flip and recoil. If you know shotguns then you know that simply going to a tighter choke gives you a tighter pattern. You also know that recoil reducing stocks like the Mesa Tactical with Endine buffer and the Knoxx SpecOps not only greatly reduce recoil but muzzle flip as well. So to me, the high price of gimmick barrels can not be justified. Many of these weapon come with high tech epoxy resin paint, and many gun owners like this finish. Others, me included, prefer a parkerized finish. Parkerizing has been around for over 100 years and there is a reason it is used on Military and heavy use duty weapons. As for the question are Custom Tactical Shotguns worth the money? You have to decide that. If having a Certified Armorer personally build your weapon, giving his full attention to every part and every step of the assembly and who test fires then inspects, cleans and reassembles the weapon, well if that is a plus for you, then the answer is, Yes they are worth it.
Design a RemingtonTactical shotgun on the 870 Receiver or Reminton 11-87 and I will build it for you from all factory new parts and accessories. If you have an 870 in your safe or closet and want to turn it into a Remington Tactical Shotgun, you found the right place. I can do the entire job or just the refinishing work and checking the function. I can sell you some of the critical components and recommend others and the best places to get them. Even if you have one and want to do it all yourself and just need advise, give me a call and I will be glad to help. There are some great products out there and some junk. Knowing what works and what is a value can make a difference in any project. Like the song says " I know a little about it" and I can learn some from you. It was a guy I was building a weapon for that turned me on to the Mesa tactical shell holder so I ordered one and after seeing it, I now feature it and use many other Mesa Tactical products.
I am working on this site each day so check back. Check the pictures out in the photo album and for each package and you can get an idea of what you want. I will also have a page of stuff for sale. Be sure to click on the pic and when it comes up you can click on it again and get a full size photo.
California Residents: Your new law took affect July 1, 2008 and I am pleased to say I am approved for Transfers to your state. I will not charge you more even though it will take more work on my end. You are already paying way to much for an FFL transfer due to the state paper work on that end. Some dealers are refusing to send weapons to your state, well, they are idiots and are not hurting the state they are hurting the gun owners of the state.

E-mail with any comments, even if just to say you like a particular weapon as this helps me know what is wanted out there.
