Not an 870 but my story is similar to yours. Bought it new about 20 years ago. I needed some cash (can’t remember what for) and sold it to my cousin for $500. I happened to run into him probably 3 or 4 years later and asked him if he wanted to sell it back. $500 and it was back in my safe.

ive got a 12ga 870 special field that came with a fixed choke. i don't remember how i came across the factory rem choke barrel for it. i musta traded into it as i don't have the og fixed choke barrel. my 17 yo son is eyeing it pretty hard.

The 11-87 version of this gun in 20ga is a sweet little rare critter. Roll engraving and eats 3" shells for late season pheasants

Got one with a fixed modified choke awhile back with 3" chamber, NIB. Real hard to find and none are inexpensive or at least not when I want one.

I have a question guys - Would a rifled slug barrel for a 870 20ga Express fit a Wingmaster receiver ? I had another member ask me this question. I have my 870 20ga Express rifled slug barrel for sale.

Thank you for you help.

I think the express barrel will fit a Wingmaster but not 100% on that


I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects

I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

Just picked up an 1100 special field in 20 a few weeks ago and bought an 870 special field in 12 the other day. Great guns in my opinion

I had an 1100 Special Field once upon a time. I bought it used and it was so dirty I had to use a rawhide mallet to beat the barrel off the receiver (I have witness to that). Got it all cleaned up and it ran like a top. I got a wild hair and sold it.
