Not this guy. I've yet to find a part on a Model 870 that wasn't stamped and have never seen a stamped part on a Model 17 (well, maybe the magazine)-if that means anything to anyone. One thing's for sure; as nice as Model 870s are, Remington could never make a Model 17 again that would be cheap enough for the "average" pump gun shooter to buy. Check out what the new Ithaca Model 37s are selling for and how many they're selling. Too bad but the market is geared for Remington 870s, Winchester 1300s and Mossberg 500s.
