Got a question about my 870 police shotgun. History: Bought this gun used in about 1983, from a fellow officer. Basic cop shotgun, 20in., rifle sights. Came with a bunch of accessories, most of which have long been traded to people who didn't have any idea what a 12 gauge slug fired from the shoulder would do to your face when fired with a Rem. factory folding stock
I handled many shotguns during the 15 years I spent on the job. Winchesters, Remingtons, HiStandards, S&Ws, Mossbergs, and Ithicas and with the exception of one of the Ithicas and my Remington, they all had one thing in common. They were Cylinder bore. One of the Ithicas had a modified bore ( which I have read is not all that uncommon) and my Remington, which has a Full choke. I have looked at , literally, dozens of Rem. 870 police guns and have never handled another with a full choke barrel...So the question is: anybody else own or know of a full choke Rem. cop gun or have I just been living in a dark place for too long?
