Converting a Model 58 to a 870

[Virginian]

I think you are misunderstanding something. I have never heard of anyone converting a Model 58 to an 870. I have heard of people converting an 870 barrel to fit a Model 58. Why would anyone convert a limited availability gun, which some people love the handling of, to THE most popular and prolific model ever made, or convert a semi auto to a pump?

That is indeed what the ad says. I don't think that guy knows what he has either. If he is correct, it makes no sense. If you don't like your 58 you can sell it for more than you can buy an 870 with accessories.
The 58 uses a different trigger group, and it has been a long time, but I think the receivers are machined quite differently inside as well.

I would sell the 58 to one of the Skeet guys who love them and buy two 870s. I have never heard of converting a semi to a pump before. Learn something new every day.
