I remember a thread awhile back about a place in Columbus *gasp* where one could buy a used Remington 870 police shotgun for dirt cheap.  I'm looking for a really, dirt cheap high-cap beater shotgun for home defense and blasting.
Where within a couple hours of NE Ohio could I pick up a cheap, used 870?

Just about anywhere that sells used guns.
But specifically, Vance's in Columbus always has police trade-ins.
Also, that place on 71, near Mansfield seems like a likely candidate.

I will try and get in there this week and let you know.

Well, don't go out of your way to find out... I can call them on Thursday if nobody bought one recently or knows off the top of their head.

i called vances a few months back and the guy told me that he thinks they set the price of each shotty by the condition of the gun.

i got mine at a place just north of urbana named guns4ever, and paid 150.

Oh no!
Every time I step foot in there, I end up with less money in my account.
They just got me last week with their sale.

Well, how much less did you walk out with when you went there last? What'd you buy?

ETA: Vance's phone number is: 614-471-7353

Smith & Wesson 642 airweight .38 +P  $330.00  (normal price is $399 at Vance's)
Plus I ordered a Galco belt and holster from Arizona Gun Runners,
which won't ship for another week or two (if I'm lucky, I hear they (Galco) take forever)
I already ordered, and installed a set of Wilson combat Springs.
Huge improvement in trigger pull.

Is there a Vance's on the south side of Columbus or anywhere closer to Cincinnati?  I'm in the market for a pair of 870s myself...one for me and one for my mom.  They don't have to look good, just go bang every time.

It's on Cleveland Ave and Cooke Rd, in the North section of Columbus, kind of off I-71.

Best place to pick up an 870 is at the funshow. You can usually find an as new 870express for $180 or so.

I'll have to keep that in mind at the next show.

Thanks!
