A few months back I took a guy from work out to the SG range to hunt some clays. I took a couple short-barreled 870's with IC chokes.
He had a good time and by the end of the day he had the great pleasure of breakin' a bird, shuckin' a shell and bustin' another bit of the falling shards.
Got 'im!
Last week he bought his first 870, his first firearm of any type actually.
A Wallyworld special. Express Magnum with a 28" VR barrel w/mod remchoke and a stupid PC lock.
We went out today and although I was shooting quite poorly, we had a great time. Afterwards I had a chance to show him the simple pleasure of disassembling an 870. He had previously pulled the barrel and cleaned it but was a little apprehensive about pulling the bolt and dropping the trigger group.
I forgot what a literal drag it is to shoot a new 870, at least an Express. That thing really needs a few thousand shells run through to slicken it up.
Anyhoo, it was a nice way to spend a late afternoon Fall day with a couple friends and a few 870's.
That's it.
