Detail strip, cleaned and lubed. She's like a new gun. She's never been cleaned in the 20 years I've owned her. Been on a thousand hog hunts in knee deep mud in and out of boats hundreds of times, never cased and dunked in the river or sprayed off with a hose pipe when too muddy to handle.

That is an 882. The 883 has a tube magazine.

I'll be damned. I went to take a pic to prove I was right and it sure is an 882. I must be dyslexic - I looked dead at it 4 or 5 times and read 883 every time. Thanks Blackheart - someone else pointed it out more subtly and I was too dense to get the hint. I changed the thread title to reflect that.
