Howdy. I picked up a nice 870 at the gun show today. The fellow had it marked at $540. The gun is an Remington 870 Express that has been cut down to 18". The gun came with MMC adjustable tritium ghost ring sights. The rear drilled and tapped onto the receiver and the front silver soldered. The forend is a Pachmayr rubber forend. The buttstock is Remington synthetic with a ventilated rubber recoil pad. A 6 round side saddle is attached to the receiver. There is a lime green follower in the stock length mag tube. The mag tube cap has a swing swivel stud. The safety is oversized. The trigger seems lighter than most 870s I've tried. The right side of the receiver is stamped GUNSITE with the Gunsite raven logo next to it. The seller claimed that the gun had been backbored. How would I check to see if this is true? I see that Gunsite offers a complete 870 for sale with all the fixins'. How would I tell if this was one of those guns? Does Gunsite mark all of the guns they work on with their logo? Thanks for any info you can give me about my new purchase.
