Bud's had a bunch of those last year that were police trade ins. I picked one up that I liked the looks of the most & was in love. The plating made the gun unbelievably smooth.
How smooth? I've had 870's from the 50's, 60's 70's etc. etc. Trap models, & one 870 I own has had several thousand shells through it. The plated gun felt better.

500 plus dollars & the fact I had five 870's at home held me back, but man, those things are nice. No wonder they bring big bucks.


Nowadays those seem to be as scarce as hen's teeth.
