Wondering when factory barrels and parts will start showing up again.
Would be nice to see a Rem choke, 18 in, 20 ga barrel with rifle sights available, though I dont think that was ever a factory option.
It would also be nice to see a Rem choke, 18 in, 12 ga barrel with rifle sights available too. To get one, I had to have RAS thread an 870P RS barrel for Rem-Chokes some years back.
The result tended to snag on things with those tall sights, but it was sort of the Swiss army knife of shotgun barrels. I wish I still had it.

That is great to hear. I am really glad that these new 870s worked out, especially after the bad experience y'all had with the Mossberg 590s. Thank you so much for starting this thread and sharing your results. I now have full confidence in purchasing a new 870.
I agree with the posters above about wanting to see new production rifle sight barrels. An 18 or 20 inch version, threaded for Rem Chokes, would be the perfect general purpose shotgun barrel. I have seen some new 20" rifled barrel Fieldmasters, with rifle sights, pop up on Gunbroker recently. I don't believe that they are even listed on the website yet. Hopefully, we will see rifle sight options in the Hardwood HD and Tactical lineups soon.
It would also be nice to see defensive 870s with optional gloss blued and parkerized finishes again, corncob forends on the Hardwood HD models, and a new run of Tac-14 Hardwoods.
The tool you seek is a Williams front sight pusher. Used these when I used to work at the gun shop years ago.
