There is a for sale post on another board for a Rem 870 Police magnum modified by Vang Comp.
The seller states "Please note that this 870 was built up on a Police Magnum base gun by Hans. The PM uses a forged receiver, held to tighter tolerances, whereas the Express, while functional, use a cast receiver and less precise tolerances. The PM also has a metal trigger guard whereas the newer 870 Express' have a plastic part"
I know Remington has gone to a plastic trigger guard but I have never heard about the forged vs cast receiver. Is this correct? Are special purpose 870's cast or forged? What about the different model 11-87's?
Thanks in advance for you answers
