I don't know how to say this but I'll go ahead...
Back in 1994 I purchased a brand new Remington 870 express magnum 12 gauge with a 20" fully rifled barrel w/adjustable rifle sights and monte carlo stock with that cross hatch style checkering on the grip and fore end that I bought up north outside of Chicago. I used it for deer hunting & just swapped barrels for shooting clays or bird hunting. In 2003 I sold the gun to a small ma & pa gun shop in a small town in Texas where I moved to & that was the last I seen it. Until yesterday... I walked into my favorite pawn store (same town) and saw the exact same style shotgun they were just putting into inventory and I asked to see it. I recognized the last 3 numbers of the serial & bought it. Took it home and looked up in the attic for the original bill of sale and whoa....It's my shotgun I bought in 1994... Has this happened to anyone before? What are the odds of this.....

Re: My 870 express goes a full circle
Great story! I've wished that to happen several times with guns that I've sold off, but no luck so far. Nice to get it back.

Sounds like it’s time to start playing the lottery
