Many of you will remember seeing these around 5+ years ago for around $200 ish. I bought a 20ga version for my daughter around 6 years ago being blown out for $109 on black Friday.

It's an 870 clone made for NEF / Remington in China. Our experience with the 20ga was that it was initially a bit rougher than a real 870 but solidly built. It uses mossberg pattern choke tubes. It smoothed out quite nicely after about 100 rounds. She's got a few thousand trouble free rounds through it on backyard clays.

Yesterday I saw a 12ga version on the used rack. Paid $150 otd. I'm gonna try goose hunting this fall and don't want to bang my upland O/Us around the marshes. I thought this might be good for that, and it will never be worth less than I paid. I may krylon camo it as goose hunters seem to like camo.

I figured the extra weight would help being all steel and 3". The previous owner must have used it for waterfowl as it has a Dowell rod in place to act as a magazine plug. These held 5 in the mag vs Remingtons 4.

Lot of views, no comments so I'll leave a brief note. A Wingmaster is a better gun than this, an express is not. I'd buy this gun knowing it will last decades in normal use and is a superior gun in every respect to the cheap turk clones currently proliferating the cheap shotgun market.

I had the "riot gun" version of these. I only shot it a little. It seemed stout enough. I think there's something different about the barrel from an 870. The band on the barrel that goes over the tube is in a different location maybe ?

Yeah, this is because it's a 5 shot tube vs the 870 4 shot. Some people were making a spacer to use 870 barrels on them.

My receiver is factory drilled and tapped.
