Remington 870?

>>33762070
Not much difference besides aesthetics. Pawnshop a pre '08 one and you're set. I got a used marine magnum for $300. Check online for police trade ins too.

Thanks guy I appreciate it, I'll look more into police trade ins. I'll just have to get a longer barrel since I'm a avid bird hunter/clay sporter

What the hell is with all the shotgun threads lately? There's like 4 a day.

The old wingmasters are fantastic. A new wingmaster will also be solid but Remington's QC has been in a steady decline. The real problem with the 870's are the basic and budget models. Most of the talent and effort is reserved for the expensive models and the Express went from a good budget choice to a POS.

Never, EVER get a new 870. Ever.

See that little piece of shit spring steel wire ejector? That little bitch is RIVETED to the receiver, and then the outside is ground flat before the finishing.

Oh yes little nigga. When you get that fucker home, it's COUNTDOWN TO FAILURE time, and when it does fail, you can enjoy having to drill out that old rivet, install a new one (with a new spring shit ejector that will also break), and then REFINISH THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR FUCKING RECIEVER WHERE YOU HAD TO DRILL IT OUT. And that bullshit is on EVERY NEW MADE 870, REGARDLESS OF GRADE.

Never. Ever. Ever. Get. A. New. Remington. 870. Period.

And that's just ONE of the problems with the new 870s. Don't even get me started on the Hot Wheels metal injection-molded extractors.

tl;dr - they break. to no one's suprise.

Scattergats are cool.

>>33765543
You're assumption is based on the premise that one would bother drilling out and re-riveting the ejector.
Personally, if I ever had one break, I would drill a blind hole, tap it, and then affix the ejector with some binding or pan head machine screws. Then if it ever breaks again, just remove the screws and install the new ejector.
Maybe next time you could think outside the box a little bit.

Or you could buy a mossman 500, which has dual ejectors that are beefier as well as being easier to replace.

Do Maverick 88s and Mossberg 500s have better extractors?

>I would drill a blind hole, tap it...
And you would have the old rivet fall out, leaving a hole in your reciever, which would have some random screw then sticking out... and even if you filed it flush there would be a big white-steel flag of your bubbadry for all to see. Even if you cold-blued the end, it would still stick out like a sore thumb.

If you want to think outside the box, it helps to know how the thing works to begin with.

>drill a blind hole in the existing rivet
Gosh, it's like you're trying to be a mechanical idiot.
You leave the rivet, you cut the extractor, you shorten the replacement, and you possibly mill away part of the guide before installing the screwed version.

And guess what sonny, a blind hole doesn't leave a "random screw sticking out", that is why it is a blind hole. See pic related; educate yourself.

Wow, each time you post, your comments get dumber and dumber.

If I don't drill out a rivet, then how will it fall out?

Since you are a mechanical idiot, here is a picture spelling it out for you with arrows and words. Try, even just a little, to not be a fucking retard.

While Anon is trying to figure out a way to remove his shitty broken spring ejector and modifuck a new one with screw and tap, I'll tell you all how to avoid a shitty 870:

Buy an OLD one.

How can you tell you have an old one?
Look at the ejector. Back when Remington was good, they used honest, straight steel ejectors. Yes, they were also riveted to the reciever. That's because they COULD be, because a straight steel ejector isn't going to snap or bend like the thin spring steel shit they're putting in there now.

You open an 870 and see this, buy it and you'll have a nice shotgun. Or you can be like Anon with his screws and taps and interminable replacement parts... and that's just his ejector.
