Tom, I don't have any brand new 870's I suppose the last ones I bought would have been more than 10 years ago.. I bought a 28 ga. Love it, but haven't used it much the last few years.. Just prior to that I bought two 870 20ga. For my wife and I... My wife used hers a bit, and I used some.. The quality on that issue was very good.. The 20's were on a smaller frame and very nice to handle.. You might look at one made before 2006, that is when I bought mine.. I am not a real 20 ga. fan... I much prefer a 12, but those little 20's carry very nicely..
