Remington 870

Do they or don't they (remignton that is) make an 870 with a 7-shot magazine as opposed to the ubiquitous 6 shot I see everywhere? I seem to recall seeing one in Shotgun News but I haven't been able to find one on GB. If so, where can I get one?

After I take a shot my next round 80% of the time will not load into the chamber, I have a B Square side mount for my scope, can it be that the receiver is being distorted enough to cause this malfunction??? Thanks for any suggestions.

Just an update....

I found all the things I needed for the 870. A tactical forend, which included a M3 Illuminator, belt carrier for the illuminator and 2 new lithium batteries, a top folding stock w/ tactical pistol grip and a side saddle shell holder all for $250. Not bad considering that I had only $100 in the shotgun. Thanks for the input everyone. Next on the list is a Sig P226 .357. I can but it know in the box, never been fired with the Sig case for $350. Good deal or not. I haven't had much expeience with Sigs. I have heard several issues, but none have been definant. Thanks.

have older Wingmaster 2 3/4" 16 ga that needs some help. Not finding very many parts on GB. My question is, are the 12 ga and 16 ga Wingmasters the same frame so wood stocks be interchangeable?

I have what could turn out to be a silly question. I recently purchased a used Remington 870 Express 12 gauge shotgun. It was sold to me as a Magnum being said that it will shoot 3" shells. It is not labeled Magnum it just says Remington 870 Express on the side of the receiver but it does however have an M after the serial number. The barrel is confusing as well because it says 2 3/4" or 3" shells in magnum receivers and 2 3/4" only in others. I have no idea how to figure it out. Does the M after the serial number denote that I have a magnum receiver and can in fact shoot 3" shells from this gun? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Where can I find INFO on the Remington 870 express magnum home defense 12ga? I can't find it anywhere on the web, including the remington site.

I have a Remington 870 wingmaster with a slug barrel. Can I put a regular barrel on it? Can it be a 3" barrel?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I could use a little help in deciding which model of 870 is built the best, the most reliable and will stand up to heavy use. I have a wingmaster set up for home defense never had any problems. I would like to get a 20 ga for my sister for self defense. Most of all I see being sold is the express models are they as good as other models of the 870 and what do I need to know about them before I buy? What is the best model type? Thank you

I have a Remington 870 shot gun with a approx 16" barrel. I am being told that I can purchase longer barrels if I want to change them out for hunting, etc... Any info on this would be helpful.

Thanks,
Mike

Just acquired a beautiful Remington 870 SC (Better Skeet Grade) in 12 Ga. The barrel does not have a serial number...is this the case for 870's? Barrel code says made in Dec '82. Also, would a 16Ga barrel fit into this gun? Thanks!

I found an older Remington 870 I was looking at buying. It all looks nice but the lettering is white colored. Did Remington ever put white lettering on their shotguns? The shotgun I am looking at is probably mid to late 1970s it could be real early 80s but I don't think so.

gunpirate

did the early 870s have the forearm similar to the Winchester grooved forearm>

Is the Remington 870 7-shot 20 Ga. pump a good shotgun?

I recently purchased a remington 870 12 gauge NWTH limited edition. I want to build a tactical shotgun for home defense purposes, should I take apart this limited edition piece, or search for a different lower reciever?

gunpirate

Can the safety be reversed from right hand to left hand operation ?
Thanks!

gunpirate

is there any way to change an 870 that only shoots 2 3/4 inch shells to accomidate 3 or 3 1/2 inch shells?

Look threw the list. Generally if it fits one size frame it has one part listing if parts are different there will be multiple part listing and #.

I have a 16 Gage 870 that was made in the late 70's or early 80's and is has worn Speedfeed and Hogue synthetic stocks with no problems. It uses 12 Gage furniture but I tried to replace the bolt with a 12 gage bolt and it was a no go.

I went through this when I was looking for a replacement Wingmaster 20 ga buttstock. I found out that the 12 ga and 20 ga buttstocks are interchangeable, so it would be reasonable to expect the 16 ga to fit either one.
Now the forearms will be different as the magazine tubes will be a different size, I am not sure if the 12 and 16 would interchange.

Also be sure if you need the early or later Wingmaster buttstock. If you get that wrong, the forearm will not match up, and I will know it, and so would a gun dealer if you happen to sell it....value spiral downward when it's not right.

The early buttstock is harder to find and has a fleur de leis...a type of clover leaf inside the checkering close to the receiver. And it has a distinctive separate tapered wing like checkering flowing off the pistol grip checkering into the buttstock. The later one's are not as fancy.

Just to be sure the buttstock portion that fits to the receiver on mine is, the width edge to edge is 1 3/8" and the height is 2"

I hope that helps.
