I have a friend who was putting stuff out for his annual garage sale.
He messaged saying he is going to put some old guns out if I wanted first dibs on any of them.
He had a couple that would have been nice to have, but I was drawn to an old Remington 870 Magnum.
Factory 20 inch cylinder barrel. Nice wood stock and handguard. Reinforced front sight bead base.
Got it home and ran the date code on the barrel, find out it's even more desirable than I had thought. Turns out, it's a 1962 production.
Action is smooth as silk and other than blueing wear, which is expected and easily remedied, is in really good shape. It's built like a tank.
And I brought it home for less than $150.
Yeah, I know, pics or it didn't happen.
