Remington M870 Riot

In addition to the special Mark 1 variant, a number of Model 870 shotguns were procured by all branches of the service, especially the United States Navy. Most of these were standard M870 plain barrel riot (typically 18-inch to 20-inch barrels). Most such guns purchased by the government had factory parkerized finishes, but a surprising number had standard commercial blued finishes. Most of these guns were purchased in the early to mid-1970s, several years after the Mark 1 contract was completed.

Some of the Model 870 riot guns were fitted with sling swivels, and an extended magazine tube/ bayonet adapter kit that was developed by Remington. Such guns resembled the USMC contract Mark 1 but had shorter barrels and were not fitted with rifle sights. Remington made both parkerized and blued extended magazine/bayonet adapter kits that were also sold to the law enforcement and civilian arms markets. Conversion of existing riot guns was accomplished by simply screwing on the magazine tube extension and clamping on the bayonet adapter, which was secured by three screws. It is reported that the U.S. Air Force as well as the U.S. Navy utilized these conversion kits on some of their M870 riot guns.
Model 870 riot guns were popular with U.S. Navy "SEALS" as well as a number of other units. After Vietnam, the weapons were used for various duties, including the protection of American embassies around the world. Some of these shotguns were also fitted with folding stocks and a few had their barrels cut back to as short as 14 inches to make them handier for use in confined spaces such as embassy guard houses and the arms racks of Navy warships (including submarines). Some Model 870 shotguns are still in use today by the U.S. military.

Although the weapons only saw limited action in Vietnam, the Remington Mark 1 and M870 riot guns were among the best of the U.S. combat shotguns of the era.

Bruce N. Canfield, author of the book Complete Guide to U.S. Military Combat Shotguns.

Specific to the Ohio National Guard M870 Riots:
-Factory ordered from Remington by the National Guard, including factory folders (NOT commercial converted shotguns, from other branches, or converted to riot spec later)
-All blued finish
-Strip gun as soon as received and clean/lube, many have a lot of rust internally, no matter what the external condition is.
-Some have bead holes drilled in the barrel some do not
-1,286 shotguns transferred from Ohio National Guard then to Ohio Department of Corrections who immediately transferred to Sportsman Outdoors, minus any there officers wanted to buy.
-M7 or M9 Bayonets correct
-Silent sling or M1/M14 canvas sling correct
-All cylinder choke (one found with mod, not sure why)

Both folders

S637328V DW barrel stamp
S639116V DW barrel stamp

Finally picked mine up today. SERIAL: S379759V. BARREL CODE: CU

March of 1971. It's really really clean. Like never been shot clean. I however, can't get the mag tube off, the nut is really tight. Not sure how to get it off without damaging the nut. There's cosmoline under the bayonet mount and the barrel is drilled/tapped for a bead. Sharpie rack number 47. Oh yeah, there was at one point a piece of tape with something written on it on the stock. It's long gone but there's a little piece of it and some residue. Not sure if I'll clean it off or not.

Overall condition is good. The florescent lighting brings out every little scratch that you cant even see in person under normal light. It has a little more wear and tear than most of the others that have been posted and I am ok with that. I like a well used gun with character

Picked up the folder today. It’s in great shape. Minor scratches here and there, some rubs along the mag tube from racking and under the shoulder “pad” on the receiver. All of it looks like armory/handling wear. A guy in my office is a Rem 870 armorer and says it appears as this was likely never fired.

There are two or three faint rust spots on the left upper side of the bayonet mount.

Both the sling loop and stock sling swivel are missing. It does have a sling, attached via paracord to the pistol grip so I guess it was carried about at some point.





Also, the 870 clearly belonged to Vinney.





So I disassembled the gun. Under the bayo mount on both the barrel and mag tube, in the mag extension, in the mag extension nut and in the upper receiver where the barrel inserts there was brown muck. Rust colored, but no rusting, just years/decades of oil sitting in there I guess. It all came off with Hoppes.



The follower is black plastic. More gritty brown goop.



I took apart the bayo mount. I took all three screws out and it slid off, slowed by the muck. In hindsight, I'm pretty sure that I only needed to get the middle screw out to actually slide it off. But the muck was holding it on there pretty good. I flipped the gun on it's left side and put drops of Hoppes onto the right side screw ends and it wicked in. The screws were then easily unscrewed. After it was off I pulled apart the upper and lower half of the bayp lug mount.



I'll add more pics tomorrow of the innards.

@ssgtcarroll for the updated post

My Texas Sherriff Wingmaster trade in

Tag, still waiting for mine to ship.

Got shipping notice. Mine should be here Tuesday.

Tagging for placeholder. I'll have pictures and serial number hopefully Monday or Tuesday

Ordered some M7 bayonets. What are the correct slings that were supposed to be issued for these?

These were used for over 40 years so take your pick between the garand web sling, the issued "silent" colt black nylon sling, paracord etc.

Same with bayonets.  It will be all over the place.

I went with M7 bayonets and M1 cotton slings to match the era when they were made.

Probably what I am doing; matching date of manufacture.

Tagged since the one in gd got locked.

I pick my folder and fixed up Wednesday, will post pics and serials.

Yeah, let's lock an entire thread because a couple people violated the CoC instead of giving the offenders a time out. Mass punishment is the easiest punishment.

Mine should be here Tuesday, will update info then.

Tag.

Posted in the other thread, copying here for future quick reference.

I received a delivery notification email from FEDEX that they delivered my fixed stock 870 to my FFL at around 9:30 this morning.  It had been scheduled for a Monday delivery, and my FFL is closed Mondays, so I didn't expect it quite so quickly.  Anyway, picked it up around noon.

Condition is consistent with the pics on the SOS website, if anything it's a little nicer but not as nice as some posted earlier in this thread.  Plenty of small dents and finish wear on the wood.  The edges of the barrel, magazine extension, etc are a little beat up.  The receiver has a few light scratches, but nothing too serious.  The magazine extension nut has some bright tool marks, and the screws on the barrel clamp look a bit boogered, but again nothing too serious.  The front sling loop is tweaked a little bit.  No unusual markings, just the ONG logo, "18" on the key tag, and a sharpie rack number "28" on the top of the stock forward of the butt pad.  No extras in the box, just the shotgun, and case.  I'm happy.

S393XXXV KU on the chamber.

That's sweet. Very excited about mine.

Tag for after I get my fixed stock

Did anybody get one with those brass tags for the rack number?

Place holder for the fixed that will show up tomorrow, though I won't be able to see it until a week from now.

I received my two folders this morning.  The serial numbers are 30 apart.

One is virtually new; I don't think it ever left the armory (S6373xxx).  The other is excellent with some very minor surface rust that will wipe right off with some oil.  It has a sling attached (S6373xxx).

The other three Remington shotguns in the second picture, I already owned.

Just picked up a folder.

Fixed due Wednesday! Bet it will be rough as a cob!

Pics before light cleaning.

I swear it has never been fired, except factory, maybe.

Bore is pristine. Nothing on bolt.

Has some kind of sticky residue on it, in several spots?

After simple wiping, it appears 95%+, to me.

The DW date code one has a mint bore. No signs of ever being fired. There's still dried cosmoline on the bottom of the receiver and leftover factory sticker residue on the pistol grip. The EW one is in VG condition and seems to be the fluke compared to the pictures other people are posting!
