It has a 28 inch, modified choke matte rib barrel. The old gal is solid with no chips or cracks in the wood but has a fair amount of bluing loss. I looked up the barrel code and I believe it was May of 1951. This is a solid old shooter! Payment by check of any sorts. First public "I will take this" trumps PM's. $600 plus the ride. I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

That’s all my 1950’s era 870 16 gauge plain barrel model has. A single bead front sight. Last edited by chlinstructor; 03/06/21.

On a 70 year old piece it is tough to tell but I don't believe it has. It has been carried and hunted but I believe it is unaltered. The guy I got it from claimed his Mother had bought it new. I already have another 870 16 that is a much later gun or I would be keeping this one. I am always looking for factory wood stocks!
