nice buying, awesome gun. Any plans to turn it into a Mall Ninja weapon? I would, 129 bucks is cheaper than an airsoft guns(toys). I just picked up a mossberg for 149$.

I'm planning on getting some accessories for it but I still want to be able to go back to this if I ever get into bird hunting.

I'm not going to add "mall ninja crap" it'll be quality stuff if anything. no ATI junk

I was thinking about a norinco 12ga choach gun at one shop that would have been about $150 due to their 20% off sale but then I found this guy.

Outstanding!

A couple of hundred thousand 870's out there, in all kind of flavors, but that one is yours!

I always like new guns in my hands, there is unlimited potential there, Congrads on the new Express, my wish to you is as always with a new shotgun "that it will shoot to where you look every time you choose."

P.S. keep some rust proof on this gun, some of the Express finishes are less that I would hope for.

Good Luck & Happy Holidays

You now have the official, professional duck hunting guide's weapon of choice. There is no more reliable, or easier to maintain shotgun made. I have killed as many as 300 ducks in one season with an identical gun.

I got my first 870 at the local pawnshop, paid $135. I've found that if you know what your looking at pawn shops can be gold mines to shooters.
