Basically stole this brand new DSF forend from Facebook marketplace for $100. What’s everyone’s favorite ghost ring sights for the 870?

So I just picked up a C&R Wingmaster 28 inch barrel beautiful wood, blued receiver which seemed to be having some wear on the area nearest the fore end. Action is butter smooth.

My third gun was an express, never was smooth probably has 100 rounds thru it but it just feels like it drags so much. I did the full tactical treatment magpul stock Surefire fore end, shell carrier and mag tube extension. At the end all I can think about is how much smoother my Wingmaster is. The thing is a few decades older than I am.

Anyhow - will police models typically be as smooth? I have read so many conflicting reports. I don’t care about the receiver look (parkerized or all scratched). I am hearing the police triggers may be heavier pull…

Lastly - can you think of a home defense reason why I would want a magnum? Mainly for slugs and buck shot for big game?

Found this clamp that is exactly what I need but it looks like it has been discontinued. Does anyone know of alternatives?

Closest I've found is one by GrovTec but It comes with a bunch on nonsense I don't want.

Hello everyone. After I finished cleaning my Remington 870 tactical today, I realized these two tiny parts (a spring & pin) were left behind somehow… Does anybody know what part of the trigger group these parts belong to, please?

Any recommendations on a Red Dot for deer hunting?

Howdy! I just recently bought an 870 police magnum from gun broker and I really like it. I was looking to give it couple upgrades while staying semi original.

I suppose im asking, “if you were a 1950-80’s police officer/detective, What kinds of upgrades would you have on your police 870 you keep in the cruiser trunk?”

I’m looking to put a red dot on my 870 and I like the look of this mount, but the top of my 870 only has 3 screws and this has 4 holes. Does it still mount up, if so how does everyone like it?

Trying to figure out how to value an attic find.

1973 870 Express Home Defense - still in box. Brand New, never assembled, original manuals, everything.

Going to talk to someone at a local shop next week, but thought I would start here.

Has anyone ever experienced this issue ? (Any tips and tricks to solve would also be greatly appreciated)

I’ve had my 12GA 870 for over 15 years, wanted to get into clay shooting more and ordered some federal low brass. For some reason my 870 just doesn’t like it, I’ve polished the chamber, changed the extractor to a Volquartsen Exact Edge Extractor, and have profusely cleaned the gun ever since I noticed this issue and still no luck. My next step is to bring it to my local smith. I ran the same ammo through my other semi shotguns and had only 2 issues and besides those 2 they ran good. Not sure what else I could do to help solve the issue.

Broke my 870 a year ago and was devastated. It’s the one gun I don’t miss birds with and I haven’t loved my replacement Retay Gordion in action. I can’t hit crossers with it nearly as well. Seems like I wound more birds too.

I thought the 870 was beyond repair as the barrel was loose and in my mind the ejector which secured the barrel’s position was part of the body. Looked through some posts here today at random and found the ejector was the issue AND it’s replaceable with rivets. Mind blown, feel stupid for not noticing earlier.

Thank you guys so much. I found replacements on Apex Gun Parts. They are used (rated good - very good condition) but it’s the only site I found with stock at all. Hope anybody else looking for parts can find it.

Found this minty wingmaster born in January 76 on the shelf at a scheels for 299… no rib, non magnum, and a blued lifter… but I just could not pass up the price on this condition

Hello, does anyone have experience with these Mossberg security barrels and if so, can you confirm if they would work with an Express Super Magnum receiver? I’ve seen mixed things online regarding all 870 barrels being interchangeable yet this has a line specifically stating it does not work with Magnum models. Maybe that’s just there to avoid any trouble of someone using 3 1/2” shells in a 3” barrel?

If this doesn’t work, does anyone have a solution/alternative to help me switch out my current vent rib barrel to a home defense length?

Not crazy impressed with the sound reduction, but will make squirrel season a little more fun!

Reminf

Has anyone heard anything about if the "new" Remington is going to ever produce more of the magazines they introduced shortly before the old Remington went out of business?

Good idea but makes the dm to heavy. What does everyone else think .

This is my first time buying or owning a firearm I have been shooting since I was 12 and I have been skeet shooting a lot and where I live duck hunting is very popular. But I was wondering if there were any recommendations for barrel length or a specific model that would fit skeet shooting and duck hunting. Thank you

Can I legally with out a tax stamp remove the front bead sight and cut the barrel from 18.5 to 18 even

I won a 2 shotgun lot at an auction recently, I was mostly interested in the Ithaca 37 DSPS, but when this arrived I was stunned at how nice it was. It’s an 870 Riot, barrel numbered to gun, date code lxx. It looks brand new. Are these older 870s worth more than modern ones? I’m not selling, just curious.

Looking for help with making my barrel and a extension sit flush what would be a good extension to look for far as length and sitting flush the the barrel

Looking for inspiration on any changes a guy should make! Thanks folks!
