[QUOTE="Boatcephus, post: 2066109, member: 6263"] DON'T get a new one. I got the 870 Express about 3 years ago from Academy. Synthetic grey stock. Remmington went cheap on the build, the trigger guard is plastic and feels breakable. The worst thing is that it would stick shut after every 4-5 shells and I'd have to fight to get it to finally eject. Someone told me the barrel needed "honed". Needing work done on a new gun is stupid. I just shot the hell out of it until it no longer jams stuck. Took over 200 shells, I'd guess. I wish now I'd gotten the Mossberg, they have dual extractors and can handle all 3 shells sizes. I just got suckered by the 870 "mystique". If you want an 870, get an older one that's made of metal and was assembled back when quality control was a priority. I shoulda took mine back when i could. [/QUOTE]
