Check --- I know, I know! Shop I got it from was surprised as well.

I had a friend who is an LE armorer go over it and no other surprises, I had checked it as well but a set of well trained eyes is always best.

Looks like it is a 1100 op handle for a smaller gauge gun. it can be fit in there tight, just no so tight that it stays put under recoil. As annoyed as I am and as manny other grumpy stories I have read about Rem under the management of the freedom group it's hard for me to get excited about this as the parts are all very similar, I am sure that they have bins and bins of them there and will tend to fit "almost" in the 11-87, would be easy for an assembler to miss and hard to pickup on inspection unless one really pulls on the op handle.

As easy as I am to get worked up I have kind of shrugged this one off, will see how it performs in a week or so. I had one before I really liked, sorry to have let that one go. Some part of me is glad I have most of the other rem guns I could ever want pre-freedom takeover though.
