![]() ![]() My point in mentioning this is that if there is a defect or issue with the 870 out of the box then you had better hope you didn't buy it more than 365 days after it was manufactured or you are stuck with it. One side of it was larger than the other and visibly rough machined. It looked like the boring bar (or whatever they use) that cut the bore was drifting to one side while it was cutting the bore. ![]() I got it running with the bad barrel, but I am sure that accuracy with slugs would have been entertaining. This gun had apparently been for sale brand new at the dealer for a while before the guy bought it and quite frankly I was blown away that Remington would not cover something like that. I have even seen a new 870 come in with extraction issues and a grossly defective barrel (chamber and bore) which Remington would not replace due to their 1 year warranty that starts at the manufacture date (this is what they said when I called and gave the serial number). ![]() Generally, the 500s that come here for repair are very well worn. I almost always have an 870 here to repair and it is rare for me to have a 500 or 590 in here for repair. I see more 870s come in for repair than Mossberg 500s, by far. ![]()
