If you stop by your dealer and price out an 870 today, you will be impressed with the wide range of models available. The gun shoots better and is a pleasure to own, but I held onto that folding stock and still pull it out from time to time. The 20-inch rifle sight barrel has been cut and crowned to 18.5″ and a set of ghost ring sights has been installed. The stock has been replaced with a standard fiberglass model. Times have changed, I still own the same gun, however, it looks very different. We looked forward to saving up enough money to buy a case of cheap bird shot and heading out to the sand pit to shoot 250-rounds at a time. My buddy and I enjoyed bruised shoulders and cheeks. At the time, the stamped metal folding stocking without a recoil pad and long length of pull seemed cool. I remember the first time I shot it like it was yesterday.
My friend bought the exact same model, we had exquisite taste. The 20-inch barrel with rifle sights were complimented nicely by the extended eight shot magazine and corn cob forearm. I had been saving up and finally bought a Remington 870 “Police Magnum” with top folding stock from my local dealer. I have been an Remington 870 guy since I was 18-years old.
