Re: 870 Special
No idea here. Sounds bad-ass though.
Re: 870 Special
Just guessing here, but it could be one manufactured way back in the day for police or military use. Newer versions for police and military are synthetic. Looks good, though.
Congrats on the nice 870 Special and welcome to the forum.
