Hard to believe it was manufactured by the same company that built my old Wingmaster.

Mine must've been the same as well. I started having problems with it from the 3rd round I put through it. Took it to a gun smith and he told he "I bet the ejector springs not in right, it's common in the 870 express" Sure enough he was right.

They are either a working man's gem... or a working man's lament.

Any one positive ownership story is matched by another's negative ownership story.

870s have definitely hurt the Remington brand, just too much bad press. Whether 100% of that bad press is justified or not, well, who knows.

Have to admit, I wondered that one myself.

Well, given the reliability of the things maybe he needs them as backup?

I think the only reason that there are millions of 870 happy owners is because Remington has produced over 10,000,000 of them.
I'd guess there are at least 5 million UNhappy owners!

You think that after building over ten million of them that Remington would have maybe PERFECTED it! At least worked the bugs out ?!?!

I'll keep my B-guns, thank you.

My only experience with remington products is an 870 rifled slug gun I purchased new in the early 90s and it worked admirably and took quite a few deer. The other was a wingmaster I inhereted that was made in the late 70s and i dont think this thing had been shotas it was mint. I traded the 870 and I gave the wingmaster to my best bud when he got his hunting liscence so he had something to start out with.
My understanding is that they started to have problems after 2000 and not just the shotguns but the 700 rifle as well.

They should've recalled the 887 just based on uglyness alone. Looks like the offspring of a lada did it with a crooked log in the back of a parking lot.

They are indeed Fugly.
