1st shotgun I ever had; my Mom & Dad gave me a 3" Magnum 12 GA 870 Wing Master w/ a Vent Rib 30" full choke barrel for goose & duck hunting. Traveled many a mile w/ it & it sat by my side in our tractor during duck season. Most of the other guys in my High School also had them in gun racks after a pre-class hunt. I bought my son a 1976 Bi-Centennial 870 TB Trap Gun that was like new and covered w/ dust for $150. The old guy said he took it in trade years ago and wanted it to go to a good home. None of the young guys wanted a polished blue gun w/ a shiny bolt & finish on the stock. I recently bought a TAC 14 just because you can w/o a Tax Stamp.

Mossbergs were for guys that couldn't afford the Big Green.

Clackamas Co sheriff's were really cool about the who thing. They made sure I got my money back. It took 4 months to smooth out.

I've always made a point to buy front a FFL on GB. But this FFL did a FTF in is state and then sold it to me on GB with out get it check out. I was told he had a friendly visit by the ATF and lost his license.

Mines a later model with the Rem-Choke - not as valuable as the earlier ones but the prices still have shot up in the last couple years.

I have 2 specials, very few people know about them. I bought both with busted stocks. Not that I like the "English" stock anyways

 

[madmax]

Rem-choke is the only way to go.

I don't if it's been mentioned before so I'll just leave this here...….

• 870 Police shotguns go thru a special 23 station check list – ranging from visual
inspection, functional testing, test firing, and final inspection.
• All Police shotguns are assembled in a "special build area" at the plant in Ilion, NY.
This section is secured and serves only to build LE and Military shotguns, with the
same factory personnel working at that assignment each shift.
• All parts that enter the "special build area" are visually inspected by hand to ensure
top quality and functionality.
• Due to heavy recoil in buck and slug loads, all 870 Police guns have a longer
magazine spring which ensures positive feed and function.
• A heavier sear spring is used to generate a reliable, positive trigger pull between 5
and 8 lbs.
• A heavier carrier dog spring is used to ensure when the carrier elevates the shell, it
will be held there until the bolt can push it into the chamber. This ensures positive
feeding when using heavier payload rounds.
• Police shotguns do not have an ISS (Integrated Safety System) which is a locking
mechanism on the safety of commercial shotguns. This type of locking mechanism
can cause delay to an officer who needs the weapon but does not have the
appropriate key. LE shotguns have the standard, proven, cross bolt safety.
• The fore-end on the Express model is longer and not compatible with many police
shotgun vehicle racks.
• The Police shotguns utilize the heavy duty SPEEDFEED Stocks and Fore-ends.
• The Express model will not allow for the addition of an extension tube without
physical modification to the tube and barrel, which can nullify the warranty.
• The Express model has a BEAD BLAST BLUE finish while the Police models utilize
either High Luster bluing or Parkerization.
• The Express model utilizes a synthetic trigger housing while the Police models use a
compressed metal housing.
• The Police shotgun barrel is locked down with a "ball detent" system in conjunction
with the magazine cap vs. a lesser grade "synthetic magazine spring retainer" lock
down as used on the Express system.
• The receivers used in Police guns are "vibra honed" to smooth out rough finishes
and remove burrs before parkerization or bluing.
• Police shotguns use machined ejectors and extractors, as opposed to powdered metal
cast which are utilized on the Express models.

As always...things could have changed since posting. BTW, it's possibly from 2013 or so.
