Best suggestion, trade it in on and old 870 Wingmaster and enjoy trouble free shooting with minimal maintenance.
Made a little correction there buddy.. I love my '79 left hand wingmaster...
Agree, and as an example of how things have changed: Bought the well used 870TC Trap in the last 70's. Used it for awhile and then noticed a slight hair line crack at the ejection port, and had a Remington rep look at it at a trap shoot. He bolted on another new receiver and said comeback to the booth in 2 days and I'll have your new one. I said this one is ok and he replied, "No yours is a TC, this one isn't, yours will be stamped TC.
No charge.
Fast forward to 2013:
Almost brand new forend cracks on a Beretta A400. Take it to the Beretta tent at a SC shoot. Guy looks at it and says you have to send it back. "I'll take one off of the 15-20 display models you have there." "Can't do." "Ok, I'll buy one of them." "Can't do, has to go back for them to inspect and then determine if it was your fault or theirs. I can order you one, but can't say when it will shipped."
