I recently bought an 870 Marine Magnum and just wanted to let everybody know mine is chugging right along without a malfunction of any kind.
I have been through about 400 rounds of various loads from light Walmart bulk stuff up to OO Defense Buck. All of it kicks very mildly with the rubber stock end. I shoot 8mm Mauser quite a bit and compared to that steel butplate my 870 is a pussycat.
I find this forum a wealth of information for a potential buyer and I like to read about the good and the bad people go through to help me make an educated decision. I waded through quite a lot of 870 info before I made my decision and I am glad I did. I just wanted to return the favor by posting my experience for anybody who may be researching the 870.
Thanks again for all the info and keep it coming.
Chris
