came home with an old one and a new express! All I could find were 28 inch wingmasters, and I really didn't want the longer barrel. Stopped in a local store to look around, I had seen several used 870's in this store a month or so ago (when I didn't have any extra cash) and had eye balled a particular one. It was still there.
I looked this gun over very hard because it was too nice. At first I though it must be reblued, and refinished wood, I could find only the slightest little nicks here and there. From what I could tell, its original. The checkering is sharp, no wear on the slides, and no wear above the bolt inside the reciever. The checkering doesn't appear to be pressed, maybe I'm wrong?
I think I've found a gem, it does have a 28 in modified barrel. The express I bought has a 26, and will do a nice job of fill in turkey gun and more.
Can someone date this beauty for me? The serial number is S34xxxxV. Also could I put a 26 inch light contour barrel on this?
Two guns for the price of one, couldn't be happier. Picked up some clay's and some light loads, ready to break in the old and the new!!!!
