Been looking for a .410 for skeet.

Not a steal, but I think it was a fair price.

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=161168555


Got the gun yesterday. Excellent condition and a great transaction. This thing is like new. If he hadn't told me that a box of shells had been fired through it, I probably wouldn't have noticed. It looks to be a very early 90s model and it shoots flawlessly.

I'm setting up my .410 reloading press now and am going to crank out a few boxes for some skeet shooting this weekend.

Couldn't be more happy with this shotty.

I wonder why Remington quit making the express in .410.........

(in case anyone gives a flip and isn't pissed that this is an actual gun thread haha)

    Well I had a brand new reloader for a few years. I just needed the gun. I plan on using if for skeet.

    Nice 870! Good price!
    I've been looking for a 870 in 410 for a long time.
    I am only interested in the Wingmaster though.
    More to go along with the rest of the 870's, than as a regular shooter.
    Should have bought years ago.
    410 Wingmasters are just too rich for me anymore.
    It's an 870, Get to shooting!!

    MAN!!! The Butt stock on that shotgun is SWEET!!! Is that Walnut or Rock Maple or what? That wood could be made truly badass with a good progressive sanding and some tongue oil...

    My pop had a Rem. autoloader in .410 that he bought in the 50's.Looked like an 1100 but, i'm not sure they were around back than.He gave it to my brother about 5 years ago.That was my favorite gun in the world growing up.
    Whenever i could, i'd borrow it and go Duckin,bustin bunnies and it was an awesome wingshooter!! Folks don't think the .410 packs a punch, IT DOES, it just doesn't have that HUGE shot string that come out of a 12Ga. U have to mak'em count!!
    Again Rob, COOL GUN MAN!!
