Thanks, Gunmart. That thing is a travesty, like the cross bolt safety on the Model 94 Winchester. IMO, the first thing one should do with that is,A, replace it or B, place it in the unlocked position and Loctite the H*LL out of it.

Does any LEO out there have the stats on how many 870s were used nefariously in the last decade?

Finally, the 870's a great shotgun, but let's only buy USED ones until the Govt and REmington brass come to their senses....
