For 870 the correct name is Model 1931-style. The "corncob" is reserved for Ithaca Model 37s which are modification of Remington Model 17. The newer Wingmasters with Light Contour choke-tubed barrels are actually pretty good shotguns. From the old stock 20ga ones with mahogany wood from the 1970s were also excellent.
