Been wanting a Remington 870P with rifle sights for years. Today, I picked up a department trade-in for $350.00 and I have a big stupid grin on my face. Not sure of the agency, but their armorer was awesome. This gun had no real marks or even wear on the exterior surfaces, the grey park had a beautiful even patina. Bore was a mirror. Action is smooth and solid. A little finish wear on the bolt and rails, but looks almost new. Speedfeed II stock and fore end, no marring. The gun looks almost new and has a good coat of oil inside and out. Bolt face is clean with no appreciable wear. Barrel code gives a production date of October 1992. Marked Remington 870 Police Magnum. Honestly, she looks like she never left the armory rack.


I am HAPPY.  

For anyone interested, I bought it at Craig's in Columbia, and they still have one left (but with the bead sight). Just FYI.

Nice!

Awesome. Those are excellent guns!

CORRECTION..... After taking time to examine the gun, it turns out the patina was actually the remains of the thin coat of cosmoline that Remington used to spray on all the shipped contract guns. It appears this gun was a spare that was NEVER used/ handled. I confirmed it was NOT refinished (done a lot of that, so I know what to look for).

Sometimes good things happen.... even to me!!!

So you stole that gun from the police!

Great find on the 870! Post some pics when you get the cosmoline cleaned up.

I don’t need one.  Nope. I sure don’t. Nope, I don’t need one. Nope. I sure don’t."…………

Welll, one of you fuckers went and bought the other one before I could go back and get it, too. I need to learn to keep my mouth shut.
