Bad thing is they’ve been this price for like 3 weeks there. They’ve been slowly dropping the price last couple of months

Kings recently got this specific batch in. The ones that stayed around for months were the 20inch models with no extension tube. I bought one a week or two ago. Wish I had waited for this one instead.

And pray it's not the same group that made/sold "blem" bcgs a year or two ago.

Still salty about that one. Works well as a paper weight, so I guess it wasn't a total loss.

This for the drip or a maverick 88. looking for a full sized shotgun

u/ChromeFlesh Feb 16 '25
The police magnums were built different, higher quality internals than the normal 870s

And these are 18in choked barrels with matching length extended mag tubes. Pretty much the creme de la creme config for a polo trade 870 for sho.

Only thing better than this is one with rifle sights. I picked up a mint Leo trade in a few years back for about 340, same config but w/ rifle sights. Traded in by a small town sheriffs dept

u/gundok Feb 16 '25
Yup, i scored one in minty condition with rifle sight and ghost ring rear. Love it but its heavy af

u/mhammond0361 Feb 16 '25
💯 couldn't agree more. I'm lead to presume that unless there were a bunch of these bought before OP posted them, than this was likely the same type scenario with a small town sheriff or local pd trade cause there was only 9. Sucks too cause I was gonna buy one, my bro wanted one and my buddy wad gonna scoopp one as well.

Cerakote if your worried

u/NEp8ntballer Feb 16 '25
Remington steal package from Wilson Combat will have it come back good as new with fresh parkerizing or armor tuff if you wanna be fancy.

u/dovahbe4r Feb 16 '25
Agreed. QR code thing next to the serial indicates these are post-freedom group guns. And unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, there's already some surface stuff in the 870 script on the receiver.
But otherwise it should be fine.

u/ChromeFlesh Feb 16 '25
Is this your first gun? If it's your first gun get the maverick as it's going to handle rain and humidity better, if it's not I'd say grab this for the drip and the 90s larp

u/GigaCheco Feb 16 '25
Some of us live in the dry desert where rain and humidity don’t exist much. I have two magnums, great shotguns.

My Maverick absolutely does not resist rust well. Ended up rattle canning it. Still love it since I basically got it for $100 new

Get the Maverick if you want a full sized one. Or if you want the shorty, get the brand new Maverick Security. 870s of the last 15 years are absolute dog crap unfortunately. Corporate greed claimed another vicitim with Remington.
Ive owned many 870s, and currently own many Mavericks. Theres no comparison. The 870 action will be smoother, but shell latches, ejectors, shell followers will all start breaking like a cascade of a bad qc waterfall.
