Remington 870 magnum express.... 'nough said

fyi- mossberg 500 are known to break the forks off the fore end tube assembly ie. the part that pumps the gun. personally i've had to weld 5 different shotguns (EDIT: all 500s) back together because of THIS failure.

$$$$ a used 870 can be had for around 200-300 just be sure to get one what will shoot 3" shells (most if not all NEW 870s do) but many of the old ones where not, hence the Magnum Express.

$$$$ new 870s will run about 4-500 depending.
