Rom, you're welcome. Please let us know of your results, good or bad.

Stan,at least 4 of the 5 870s here could serve as riot guns, stretching the definition a touch to include the 20 gauge YE. What can I say? Shotguns can be addicting....

Some years ago I knew a collector of fighting shotguns. He'd everything from a real Lupara to that High Standard bullpup. Maybe 20 or so, and not a sporting arm in the bunch. He was not a shooter of these, but did take some out once in a while. His HD choice was a Model 12 Trench.
