Greetings from Russia

Post by KBA »

Hello all.

Finally I got a Remington 870 combo. (the new one is very hard to find in Russia, thanks to our government, their unfair actions in past few years brought a lot of restrictions for exproting fire arms from USA). But I found this used one in good shape with two barrels. Metal parts are fine and there are some scratches at the wood parts. But I'm going to replace them to plastic anywhere. According barrel stamps it was made either in Jan or Nov 1994 (depends on is it B or R, hard to decide)

I'm happy to have this one. And looking forward to get another one soon.

nice gun my brother from Russia . youre lucky to have 2 barrels ,over here in my country <Ireland> you can still at the moment buy pump action shotguns some rem 870 some mossbergs some clones like pardner pump. but you have to have a minimum barrel length of 27 inches anything shorter is permitted. can you get barrels over in Russia?. even ammo is restricted overhere .

Hi. If I got you right you mean that for short barrel you need a special permission, correct? As for Russia, you have to get a special permission in Police for any shotgun, any shotgun barrel and ammo. Shotguns shorter than 800 mm are illegal. You may not get them. I can get some barrels (with permission) but not for Rem. AFAIK separate barrels are not certified and may not be sold. That's why I was looking for combo. There was no way to get a barrel later.

But for example, for Benelli you can get an spare barrel.
