Remington 870TB find
by Doug Bowser on Fri Sep 09, 2011 8:16 am
I bought this at a now defunct Pawn Shop in McComb. It was covered with camo paint and plastic leaves. I noticed the recoil pad was red and that indicates a factory trap or skeet gun. I got it for $140 out the door. I used Kutzit and removed all the green paint and the Model was an 870 Trap Special. Remington always uses special grade Walnut on their target grade shotguns. The finish is about 90% and the bore slick. The wood is really beautiful. All I have to say is, the paint probably protected the gun from the redneck owner. The gun was made in the middle 60's and I believe the gun is worth $600+. I bought a 20" Remington slug barrel for it and the gun has a place at the head of my bed, from now on.

I saw it before Doug bought it & it looked so bad I passed on it! Let's just say it was fully "bubbaized" !

Looks great! It's amazing what a little paint will cover up.

So I'm guessing you don't want your money back on it?

Youse guys are all Heart. I have been looking for a 12 GA Remington 870 Special Trap since my old one was busted up in an automobile accident in Florida. This gun even has a steel magazine follower, no plastic at all.

If you are ever around Cleveland, stop by Pauls Mart and talk to Becky. They probably still have a few Skeet and Trap Remingtons. I bought one for dad a few years ago that has wood that looks like it should be on a Perazzi. I'll have to remember to post a picture.
FWIW, there are untold goodies from the 70's till now in that store and Becky has probably forgot more about guns than most will ever know.
