Remington 870P: knowing which one
Howdy all,
This is my first post to THR. It's sort of long, so here's a table of contents:
1) While doing research on a new SG, i've spent many hours over the last few months reading posts by many of you, mostly on the previous TFL. (In fact, I only tonight found the newer THR; very spiffy little bit o' cyber turf you've staked out here.)
With the help of many archive searches, I've found much, much, much helpful information to help me sort out brands (Mossie, Rem, Win...), models (870, 870 Exp, 870P, 870 magnum...), pro/con of add ons (lights, side saddles, slings, sites), Dave McC's sage advise (practice, practice, practice) and most recently, one very funny post by Dionysusigma (#16) in the thread "How to carry shotshells":

So to all of you, I offer my sincere thanks for helping me sort through this issue. It's been much fun reading.

2) I've decided on a Remington 870P. In a few days, I'm going to order the specific one with the features that I want, but I'm finding a bit of confusion about specific order numbers in my local gun shop and on line. Word is that Remington may have renumbered some models (I don't know this to be true; only conjecture & hearsay). Therefore, I'm trying to triple check my numbers so as to increase the probability that the correct gun gets shipped.
I saw a photo of a Remington 870P that Black Talon posted in the thread "870 photo needed here please" that appears to have exactly the features I'm interested in. (Post # 2)

Specifically, I'm seeking this 870P: Speedfeed Sport Synthetic Stock & Fore-end (which seems to be what Speedfeed, Inc calls their Speedfeed II Solid Stock Set); 18" Imp. Cyl. Bead sites. Parkerized. R3 recoil pad.
The Remington LE site lists that as Order # 4403.

I've sent Black Talon a PM, but thought I'd just post this here as well.
Can anyone either:
Thanks for any information. And keep up the interesting discussions.

1) thanks for your great forum, and much useful information.
2) a question about order numbers for Remington 870P's.

Can anyone either:
A) offer confirmation of that order # for that set of features on an 870P?
B) or point to a Remington page with more current information than the one above?
