Good evening,
I now have a Remington 870 20ga Express Magnum shotgun. Standard length magazine tube. Shot a few I'm told but is very clean. No rust and still feels new. Closet queen because the guy had a double.
With 3 barrels; a 21" ribbed smooth with screw in remchoke [mod?] on it, 28" ribbed smooth [mod?], and a 20" smooth slug with Remington open sights. The stock is wood, and the rear has been shortened an inch and the pistol grip removed to be a straight wrist; checkered wood med length forend. It also came with a Remington synthetic stock set, youth length butt stock and "long tailed" forend.
For the moment I intend to keep it with the wood stock and 21" bbl which fits me OK. But I'm not much of a shotgunner for a couple decades. It's definitely not a tactical gun, but I kinda got it for home defense, etc. I live in the suburbs so I don't need it to scare varmints away from the chickens. But I do want it to be more user friendly and not just a bird gun collecting dust. So I could use some ideas on what to do inexpensively to make it more 'useful'. Thanks.
