I bought a used 870 Express 20 G Parkerized a couple years ago for $150 in a pawn shop. Many limits (and a thwarted home invasion) later, I swear by it.

Off topic: as a child, my Dad taught me guns should be always stored with the bolt open. Am I wrong here? Most of you have it closed. An open bolt instantly tells you a gun is unloaded.

The only gun I keep the bolt closed on is the Ruger Mk II and that's just because it stores easier and you're pretty safe knowing it's unloaded without a magazine in it.

for pretty pictures, closed bolt looks nicer. some bolts are jeweled, others have the brand name on them. =D
 
I leave bolts closed on most, Open on others. But I for taking pictures, Always closed. I just chamber check everything I pick up anyway. "All guns are always loaded." Is a rule I remember, and have never had an ND.
Some guns bolt open is the fastest way to get loaded. Saiga 12 mag in, bolt locked back.

Have a maverick 88 that needs some pictures taken of it. Cheap gun, and highly underrated I believe.

I leave actions open for safety, as even if it was loaded, a open action cannot fire, whether it is loaded, SAFETIES CAN AND WILL FAIL, but an open action is the perfect way to store a gun. Of course for pics, closing the bolt may make it look better.
 
Here are my Remington 870s. Both are Express Magnum 12 gauges. The top hasa pepper laminate thumb hole stock, and the bottom one has a Spec-Ops NRS collapsible from BLACKHAWK! and a Choate 5 round magazine extension.

No digi cam at the moment to upload pics of the kids :) Hlq, that straight stocked 870 do you happen to know the vintage or what not, I'd like to find that stock/foregrip combo for my old wingmaster.

I found this lightly used Remington 870 Wingmaster 12 gauge about a month ago at my local gun shop!
 
This is my 12 ga. 1956 Ithaca Model 37 riot gun all dressed up.

Barrel cut to 18.5" with brass bead installed
Original ringtail pump handle.
12.75" LOP to end of Galazan sunburst pad.
Stock was purchased online for $25 and came with hand checkering and an ivory grip cap.
Spent hours sanding and refinishing the stock and the ivory

I know its overdone for a riot gun, but I like it :cool:
