Check criticisms now please. First time shotgun owner.
I wanted a solid pump shotgun and reading up, the Remington 870 was widely recommended a solid gun. I stopped by a pawn shop on the way home just to see what they had, and left with a Remington 870 for $225. However, I'm not sure any thing else about it. is it a Magnum, Wingmaster, Express, plain 870? am pretty confident it is NOT a tactical shotgun. Did I overpay? (Not that it matters now). Here's what I know about the gun.
Butt stock and pump in good shape. No nicks or deep scratches. Stain is still good. The metal looks almost like teflon rather than blued. No rust. one side of barrell says Remington Arms Company Ilion, NY. The other side of the barrell says "12 GA 2 3/4 AND 3. 3 1/2 ONLY WITH SUPER MAG RECEIVER". Right above where shells go in (opposite ejector) it says "REMINGTON 870". Serial number is RS49219A. Pump action is smooth and it appears gun was well cared for.
