I bought my first 870 a few months ago, mainly as an impulse security purchase (somone got broken into down the street) but i have absolutly fallen in love with firearms ever since i bought it. I'm going to be purchasing my first revolver sometime this year.
My question is this. I bought my shotgun used, but in excellent conditon, it showed absolutly no kind of wear whatso ever, and the pawn shop has all their guns sent to a smitthy before they sell them.
Anywho, my remington is a model 870 express synthetic, Super Magnum. It surrently wears an 18 inch factory barrel. the only thing i can complain about with this gun is the slight discoloration the gunscubber caused to my stock.
anyways, i was wondering if anyone out there knows how to date an 870? i can tel you it does have the 2 dimples on the end of the magazine.
Oh, and Dave McC, i took your advice, and took off my pistolgrip, its now a plane jane gun, and i love it.
Any help here would be appreciated.
thanks to all.
