Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Unfired 11-87 Special Purpose 12 gauge with two barrels

I have for sale an unfired 11-87 Special Purpose shotgun. It has a factory 20in smooth bore and threaded for Rem Chokes, with a rifled slug choke installed. The factory barrel has a cantilever and I am including a set of rings for this barrel.

The gun also I includes a new Hastings rifled slug barrel. It also has a cantilever and is 24 inches long. I was going to use the short barrel for turkey hunting, as I love the short barrel for use in a blind.

I bought it unfired, and have never even taken it out myself.

The original owner took it to his smith, right after purchase, and had him install a mercury recoil reducer in the butt stock. This is a three inch gun,band he was not big on the anticipated recoil!

Anyway, I'm selling for $900 shipped, for the shotgun and the Hastings slug barrel. These barrels are $350 alone.

Not willing to split it up, nor am I looking for any trades at this time.

First "I'll take it" followed by a pm gets it.

Hell of a buy.

Walnut furniture too.

I am guessing early 90s manufacture.

I have the 870 version and they were late 80’s or early 90’s. They are nice shotguns from when Remington was still putting out a quality firearm. Good deal here.

^^^^this comment couldn't be further from the truth. That Special Purpose finish was and is the sorriest damn finish ever put on a shotgun. That was nothing more than Remington cutting corners and trying to steal a dollar. Theres nothing quality about that finish.

Completely different than the newer finish or Express finishes.

That's for sure. The Express finish is worse than having bare metal 🤣

The barrel on it as shown was a factory offering that way? Do you have the box? Could you send a pic of the barrel?

This isn't the rough Express finish. It's more of a light matte finish.

I agree. I have this same gun but with a 26 inch barrel. The finish is fitting for a "Special Purpose" shotgun and FAR different than an Express. These were pretty good old shotguns!

Sorry, no box. Yes, this was the barrel that I came from the factory with. I sent you a pm

1187 Premier or LC was gloss finish all around.

Special Purpose was machined, milled, just like the Premier; it was left as matte finish for hunters.

The Express models weren’t finished out to the same degree as the Premier or Special Purpose.

That is what I know of it. I own both the Premier and Special Purpose. They both function flawlessly. I use the SP 10x more than the Premier.

By the way, you can not beat a Hastings deer barrel.

Matte finish on these guns is bullet proof!

Gun is SPF!
