How do you know if your shotgun is safe to shoot steel shot?

December 9th, 2010 by eranio

I have a Remington 870 Express, and live in good old California, and have to shoot nonlead ammo for upland game birds (California Condor Region), I know bismuth is OK to shoot, but what about all the others. That is if I am going to pay over .00 a shot at a quail, or a dove.

What would be a good shotgun that's affordable and good quality?

December 8th, 2010 by eranio

I’m 15 years old. I’m thinking about a Remington .870 Express but I’m not sure if it is a rifled barreled gun. Anyways, any other suggestions? Or anything I should know about the .870?
Also probably needs to be a 20 guage.

What is a good shotgun for home defense?

December 7th, 2010 by eranio

Another shotgun question for people who know more than me. Remington 870 Express Synthetic yes or no?

December 3rd, 2010 by eranio

I purchased a Remington 870 EXPRESS synthetic. The gun seems to work fine with new name brand ammo. However after reading lots of comments (which I wish I had done before I bought it) the Rem 870 Express seems to be the "low end" type shot gun. Was the Express a good buy or should I have gone with the more expensive Model 870 Marine Magnum *which is supposed to be smoother (action) due to the Electroless Nickel Plating. Many people seem to like Browning pumps and also many people say that the 870 POLICE is better than the Express. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Can I get a shotgun barrel that uses any round?

November 27th, 2010 by eranio

I have a 12 guage Remington 870 Express Magnum. I was just wondering if there’s a barrel out there that I can put on my shotgun that will use any round? Meaning, I could load a buckshot and slug in the magazine at the same time and nothing will get ruined when I shoot? Thanks.
How can I find out if my rifled barrel is partly rifled or fully? All I have is the rifled barrel and turkey barrel that came with the gun? Also, how do I check/change the choke?

What would be a good shotgun for trap shooting/hunting?

November 13th, 2010 by eranio

I have been trap shooting a few times with my friends and have gotten pretty good and I would like a shotgun of my own instead of instead of having to borrow one. I was thinking about a new remington 870 express or a used 870 wingmaster or a stoeger condor. I also dont want to spend more than 0 on a shotgun.

I'm looking to buy my first shotgun, and was wondering which one would be a good buy?

October 5th, 2010 by eranio

I am looking for something to do some recreational skeet shooting, but that also has the ability to do some duck and maybe some quail and pheasant hunting. I was looking at the Remington 870 Express. Would that be a good choice?

What is a good shotgun to buy for a 3 gun competition if you are just starting to get into this competition?

August 31st, 2010 by eranio

What about a Remington 870 Express Tactical Shotgun?
I’m also intersted in possibly shooting skeet with this gun . . . is that asking too much?

Anybody have any proof that the Remington 870 Express was made to compete with the Mossberg 500 series shotgun?

August 30th, 2010 by eranio

Comparing them side by side I cant see it. The Mossberg has dual extractors where the 870EX only has 1. The 870EX has those little dimples on the magazine tube so you can’t add an extension without modification. aside from the aluminum receiver, plastic trigger guard and safety, I don’t see the validity in this argument. I, however, do see the validity in the comparison of the Remington 870 Express competing with Mossberg’s Maverick 88 line.

Looking for a press release, link or a market comparison.
Well, Actually I was just refferring to the 870 Express, not just the 870 itself.
The police are issued Remington 870 Police series, different firing pin, steel lined forend, R3 recoil pad, Parkerized finish, Speedfeed stock, etc. All NOT standard on Express models.
The Mossberg 590 series was the only model to pass the updated 3443G specifications with a heavier barrel, metal trigger guard and safety, magazine tube end cap, bayonet lug, Ghost ring sights etc, NOT standard on 500 models. (although a metal heat shield is standard on some 500 models)

Thanks, I guess.

Remington 870 shotgun barrel question?

May 15th, 2010 by eranio

I have a Remington 870 Express Magnum and I was wanting to purchase a second barrel for it. I want to get an 18" barrel. I don’t want to cut down the one I already have because I would like to keep that one skeet shooting. I looked on Remington’s website and they have barrels but they are like 0.00 +. Does anybody know where I can get them cheaper than that? Maybe around 0.

Whats the best 12 ga shotgun ammo?

May 14th, 2010 by eranio

I am looking for shotgun ammo just to use to get the feel for my new gun. I dont want to spend per shot just messing around. I am going to be shooting it through a Remington 870 express 3" chamber. Also i might want to use the ammo for rabbits which is kinda one of the reasons i bought the gun. I saw a box of Federal Game Shok its a #7 1/2 shot and 2 3/4 shell they are about 65 dollars with shipping and there is 250 rounds i didnt know if these would be complete crap or if i could use them for what i was going to do. Also i heard of some ammo jamming the 870 if anyone knows a specific brand or if Federal is one that jams the 870 please comment. Thanks
