Our Assessment: In 1950, Remington introduced a modern, streamlined, rugged, reliable, and relatively inexpensive shotgun – the 870. They reached two million guns by 1973 (ten times the number of Model 31 shotguns it replaced). As of 1983, the 870 held the record for the best-selling shotgun in history with three million sold. This is a Classic Trap model with a 30” ported barrel, American walnut stocks, and a scroll engraved receiver with gold inlaid accents. The action is slick and this one was very well taken care of by its previous owner. This will make for a great addition to a Remington collection or for use as your next clay duster.
