Oh, regarding Remington, although availibility is spotty, we have a few gun shops, even here in the People's Republic of No. Kalif. that sometimes have the 700 PSS, 870P, 11-87P for sale to us civies. I assume they are combo civilian/LE dealers who have access to the full-line (versus the big chain stores).
Speaking of LE/Mil-only, I got to handle that new Benelli M4 at the last SHOT show, designed, supposedly to USMC specs. Pretty cool package: telescoping stock (heavy!), rail for dot-optics, improved operating system. Too bad we won't be able to get one, at least in that exact configuration...
