Some of these hard used fixed stock shotguns look awesome. I wish I could've gotten 4 so I could have two of each kind.

I just picked up my fixed stock and it is freaking awesome, awesome, awesome. I love the way it feels and shoulders. The bead comes up in exactly the right spot every time and holds really steady. The trigger feels awesome and breaks with no creep. The way the bolt slides and the insides clack back and forth in the receiver feel so precise and fitted.
I’ll post pics later when I get home. |

I have zero interest in shooting a pump 12ga for fun, and no need for additional ones for practical uses, but I have to admit these are pretty cool shotguns.

I removed the back pin and pulled the trigger out. I do see a chipped in the trigger housing. I tried slipping it back in and could not. I have another 870 and plan on removing the trigger housing to see if it will work. I will do it tomorrow to give me a night away from it. Don't look good on the trigger housing. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I got my folder in today. Overall it is in good shape except the front pin by the trigger guard is missing. The guard is jamb a little open. They had a tag on it stating it needed a front pin then trigger guard and housing is broken. It don't look broken but just jammed. I will have to bring it to a shop to get checked out. What a bummer. it will work. I will do it tomorrow to give me a night away from it. Don't look good on the trigger housing.  . I am not planning on restaking the shell latch. Just got to pay attention when removing the front trigger pin.

Just picked both of mine up.
The fixed stock model is pretty nice. Just enough wear that I'll shoot it a bit, but the wood and blueing are pretty nice. My folder is pretty rough. Obviously carried and fired a lot, and the bayonet mount is boogered up pretty good. If anyone gets a line on mounting screws please post them up. I am absolutely not complaining though. The fixed stock gun will remain in my family long after I am gone, if I have my way. |

Only kidding, let us know if they find anything. Edit: From my understanding all M870 riots are on Wingmaster receivers. |

Got a NICS delay at my FFL, so no photos yet, but got a look at my fixed stock this evening. Plenty of wear but it's nicely even throughout with no buggered/missing parts, just glorious "patina".
Will add photos and serial once I get it in hand. |

I think I hit the shotgun lottery with mine, bore cleaned up real well. No rust.
I'm gonna use RemOil for the first time in a while because it seems appropriate.
What a cool neat gun. |

Can anyone recommend any good gunsmithing screwdriver sets that aren't too expensive? I saw a set of Wheeler bits on Amazon for like $25 that looked like they would work. I'd like to take my bayonet lug mounts off to clean and don't want to damage anything anymore than it is already.

Looks like most of the fixed, mine included, have more wear on the left side, the top left edge of the receivers are worn.
Why? |

I picked mine up today. One of mine is very clean, with exception of the trigger guard is dented in.
What are everyone’s thoughts on swapping “small” parts between two folders (like a trigger guard assembly, forend, etc) in order to make one into the “best” parts? Will that affect the value? |

M870 Military Riot Gun In addition to the special Mark 1 variant, a number of Model 870 shotguns were procured by all branches of the service, especially the United States Navy. Most of these were standard M870 plain barrel riot (typically 18-inch to 20-inch barrels). Most such guns purchased by the government had factory parkerized finishes, but a surprising number had standard commercial blued finishes. Most of these guns were purchased in the early to mid-1970s, several years after the Mark 1 contract was completed. Some of the Model 870 riot guns were fitted with sling swivels, and an extended magazine tube/ bayonet adapter kit that was developed by Remington. Such guns resembled the USMC contract Mark 1 but had shorter barrels and were not fitted with rifle sights. Remington made both parkerized and blued extended magazine/bayonet adapter kits that were also sold to the law enforcement and civilian arms markets. Conversion of existing riot guns was accomplished by simply screwing on the magazine tube extension and clamping on the bayonet adapter, which was secured by three screws. It is reported that the U.S. Air Force as well as the U.S. Navy utilized these conversion kits on some of their M870 riot guns. Model 870 riot guns were popular with U.S. Navy “SEALS” as well as a number of other units. After Vietnam, the weapons were used for various duties, including the protection of American embassies around the world. Some of these shotguns were also fitted with folding stocks and a few had their barrels cut back to as short as 14 inches to make them handier for use in confined spaces such as embassy guard houses and the arms racks of Navy warships (including submarines). Some Model 870 shotguns are still in use today by the U.S. military. Although the weapons only saw limited action in Vietnam, the Remington Mark 1 and M870 riot guns were among the best of the U.S. combat shotguns of the era.
