Just wanted to post a pic of my new 870. I got it for Christmas. It it is set up for home defense right now. But it will convert to turkey mode when Spring comes.

Good Looking 870

, Looks like it is missing one thing, some friction marks on the action bars

A suggestion, it looks like you have slugs/buck on your side saddle, a wise shooter taught us to segregate the two loads by placing the brass in different directions. At night it is hard to see color.

Scattergun Bob - your insight is impressive! Yes, it is unfired. Haven't had a chance to take it out yet. And yes, 00 Buck with slugs beside. I thought about inverting the buck. Just haven't done it yet. Again, my hat is off to you.
