I understand that old 870 pump actions used to have a slam-fire trigger, but they discontinued that. I wondered if there was a simple way to modify the trigger group to restore this functionality. Thanks |

I’ve never heard of 870’s doing that. My understanding is that newer Ithaca’s have been modified to prevent it. (And fiddling around with a trigger assembly – in particular trying to defeat a safety mechanism – raises some obvious issues.) FWIW, I used to have an old Stevens pump that would do that. However, it once went off on me before it was totally in battery.  Not a pleasant experience!! |
| I have never heard of 870s having this feature. In addition to older Ithaca 37s and Stevens (520 and maybe the 620), the old Winchester 1897/97 and (I believe) Model 12 also have this feature. The Stevens and Winchesters are also available in take-down form. I have an old 1897, take-down made in 1908. |
