"Plastic" barrels are already out.
Remington once briefly sold shotgun barrels that were steel tubes wound with glass fiber thread and the old Armalite AR-17 shotgun had an aluminum barrel.
Super light, but didn't sell.
What's old is new again.

I thought I would ask this here instead of starting a new thread. I have an 870 police magnum, 18" bbl, pistol grip, and a "For Law Enforcemtnt Only" folding stock.(its legal, I checked) Is it worth anything in this configuration? I was thinking of changing it to a more standard looking shotgun. Then I think since I have quite a few other "standard looking shotguns", why bother? Anyway, just something else to chat about. Any opinions? Thanks,
Ken

It's worth the extra price of a used Remington factory folding stock.
These show up on Ebay fairly often, and usually bring prices under $75.00???
Since you already have standard guns, I guess you could keep it as a conversation piece, or to demonstrate to new shotgunners with the "accessory fever" WHY folding stocks aren't a good idea.
First, have them shoot a few full-power buckshot loads, and if they still want to shoot it, have them try a real shotgun course to show them how difficult it is to hit "real world" targets with it.
Of course, you could fund something else by selling the stock to someone with Accessory Fever.

Remington doesn't slather on a thick coating of cosmoline.
They spray it, inside and out with a light coat, so it doesn't LOOK like it's coated.
If you rub the metal with a white cloth you'll likely get a brown, rusty looking stain off it. That's cosmoline.
