    New production 870 Express

    Since the Mossbergs we got at the Academy are huge POS’s, I decided to buy two new production 870 Express to try. Here’s some photos.

    With wooden furniture, no less!

    Did they give you some PR24s and D-cell Maglites to go with them?



    Legitimately interested to see how they hold up for you guys. When will you be putting them through the ringer?

    Watching with interest.

    As an aside, what were the problems with the Mossbergs, and which model did you have the problems with?

    The metal work and finishing on the new 870 Express is much better than the samples made when Cerberus owned Big Green. The only issue I have with the new Express is the furniture; the sporting forearm interferes with accessing the loading port when the action is open. Simple fix to swap the furniture.

    Base model 590s. The safeties sucked and we’re almost impossible to deactivate. One cadet sliced his thumb open trying to deactivate it. And they all hit way high with slugs. So bad we had to put duct tape on the stock that had hold under information. And slugs are only shot at 50’. But they would have been out of the scoring area if they aimed center mass. Total shit. They all went back to the factory. The safeties were fixed but Mossberg said there was nothing wrong with the sights.

    Were these bead sighted guns, perchance?
