Okay, impulse buy, I admit. But...last summer's 11-87 project didn't work out. I couldn't find an 18" barrel, and I'd have had to modify it to make the magazine tube extension work. I'd resolved to sell it (unfired by me, 90+% condition) and get an 870 pump.
Well, I was browsing my old favorite gun shop and what did I see? A Remington 870 Express Magnum for less than three hundred dollars! Like new in box! Seems the previous owner fired it, decided he didn't want it, and returned it. I couldn't tell it was used upon inspection, but nonetheless I paid $301 ou the door for it. 18" barrel, factory magazine tube extension, bead sight, plastic trigger guard and keylock safety (the latter will get replaced sometime in the future).
