Odd Rem 870
I just picked up an 870 from my dealer and it apparently is a Secret Service surplus gun. The catalog # is 24579 and there is no mention on Remington's website. Also the serial # is USSS0XXX. I know that some gun companies will give a history on the gun, date of manufacture, who it was sent to, and so on, for a fee, does anyone know if Remington will do this? [/IMG]

I also took a scan of the back of the owners manual and can't figure out how to post it. If someone will tell me how I'll post it.

I think if you convert the file to a JPEG then you can post it like a picture.

Yep - Call Remington.
That would be pretty neat, if that's who originally had that gun. |

I still haven't been able to find out much info on the gun but, while looking around on Auction Arms I found the same exact gun with pretty much the same info as I have on it, http://www.auctionarms.com/search/di...temnum=7039903 the only thing the seller left out in his description is the +1 extension from Wilson Combat.

Remington had special runs of 870s in the past. One was for the NY prison system in 16 gauge.
Dunno if there's any collector interest in these. Meanwhile, you've got a fine defensive shotgun that's been nicely work polished..... |

I have never had a safe queen, but I still haven't shot it yet, it's still NIB. If the gun on the auction goes for some rediculous price it might stay that way, I'd be surprised though.
