Joe, that's just the 'official explanation'! The real reason is so he has a stress-release device; head out to the range or a safe spot in the boonies, fire off a box of ammo, while imagining the targets are those twits who've managed to pique his ire. Besides, nothing clears the sinuses like a whiff of cordite after a good shooting session.

Why buy that when you can get this for $250? Sure it's 30 years old, but it's my beauty!
I've already replied with more details on Rontini's. |

John, I think the general price range is around $350 or so....but I have two 870's (12 guage) and a model 97 winchester. The winchester has an 18" barrel and until the feed/ejection started acting up was my favorite rabbit and skeet gun.
I did find out that Mossberg offers an 18 barrel for the 870 for about $100. I ordered one from Cabelas and it works great! I now have an 870 with the plug removed and loaded with alternating 00 buck and deer slugs. When/if I want to go hunting, I need to put the plug back in and decide it I want the longer barrel!
I still have the Winchester 97, but it may go with me to the next gun show to see what I can get for it.....
Edited to add the following:
JOhn, I found this post on the net after I posted.....you may be able to find an NIB for less than $300::

I almost bought a NIB Mossberg 500 from a shop here for about $300 but something told me to hold off. I did and on another forum I saw a Remington 870 18" barrel, extended magazine, black (oooo evil haha) NIB for $275. I talked him down to $225 shipped to my FFL (who didnt charge me). I'd say that I love it but it has been hanging out in my "safe" since Thanksgiving. I will bring it out next weekend for the 1st time.

Hey Cobra Pupils, what's the barrel length on your yard sweeper?
20" barrel with an 8 round magazine extension. That's all ya need! It's 2 3/4" chamber though, so I can't shoot the new 3" shells, but what the heck.
Down here in the South, used Remington 870 Wingmasters are EVERYWHERE. |

John
try www.gunbroker.com That will give you an idea of what to expect as far as price. I think that you are looking at the home defense model. |
