Description

Look, this is a used gun, so condition varies, but the core design is solid. The action is based on the old-school Remington 870, which means a huge number of aftermarket parts—like stocks, forends, and magazine tube extensions—are mil-spec compatible or can be fitted with minimal work. That’s a huge plus for a budget platform. At $150.39, you’re getting a functional tool, not a showpiece. Remember, FFL transfer required for firearm purchases when you order online.
Who This Shotgun Is For
This is for the Missouri landowner who needs a reliable varmint and predator controller, the first-time gun buyer on a tight budget seeking a home defense option, or the shooter who wants a beater shotgun for the truck or ATV that they don’t mind getting scratched. It’s not for competitive shooting or waterfowl hunting—it’s a utilitarian tool. Its 18.5-inch barrel keeps it maneuverable in tight spaces, a key consideration for home defense scenarios.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Incredible value for a working shotgun. The design is time-tested and brutally simple. Synthetic stock is low-maintenance. Huge aftermarket support thanks to its Remington 870 lineage. It’s a fantastic platform to learn basic shotgun mechanics and maintenance on without a big financial outlay.
Cons: It’s used, so expect cosmetic wear—dings, scratches, maybe a little surface rust. The factory finish is utilitarian. The action can be a bit stiff out of the box but smooths with use. The synthetic stock is functional but not the most ergonomic. Here’s the thing—at this price, you accept some trade-offs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s the chamber length?
A: It chambers standard 2 3/4-inch 12-gauge shells. Do not fire 3-inch magnums in this shotgun.
Q: Is it compatible with Remington 870 parts?
A: Mostly, yes. The design is a close clone. Many parts like stocks, forends, and some internal components will be drop-in ready or require very minor fitting. Always confirm compatibility with a specific part before purchasing.
Q: What’s the overall condition?
A: As a used firearm, condition varies by individual unit. They are field-graded—mechanically sound and functional but will show signs of previous use like holster wear, minor scratches, or faded finish. We inspect them for function and safety. It’s available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
