Not trying to start trouble here.

But Pete80 when you said "The 590 passed mil-spec testing, did the 870? No." in a previous post. I presumed that you knew that the 870 did not pass MILSPEC testing and that you could provide a link to that testing. I take it you can't?!

Having been in the Military for quite a few years now I can assure you that the term MILSPEC has been well used and abused. And in some aspects is meaningless to me.

I have personally seen many different kinds of shotguns in Arms room inventories. Rem 870's through Win 12's to name just two. Note-have not seen any 590's yet in Arms rooms) I personnaly believe that all are equally as good when it comes to reliability and function. We can always argue different specific merits such as placement of safeties on Rem 870's Vs. Moss 500 series guns.

But the bottom line is that for the most part; 870's, 1100, 1200, 1300, 500, 590, 12, etc are all decent shotguns and should give individual owners (Military included) a lifetime of faithfull service.
