How much do you shoot? I’ve never seen an 870 that needed work, including a couple at the skeet range that routinely get 5-6000 rounds a year through them.

Ain't that sweet? FWIW, I knew a gent who owned (owns?) a shooting emporium in Camarillo, Kalifornia, years ago, and he told me about a lady who brought in her Ruger .22 self-loading pistol, because it wasn't working quite right anymore. Turned out it had 10-20K rounds through it (GOOD FOR HER!!!). Ruger completely rebuilt that pistola for her, free of charge (good for you, Ruger!)...

This is an older, inherited 870. Used to be a Nevada Highway Patrol cruiser gun. I inherited it from my mother-in-law like ten years ago, and it’s been at the ex-wife’s house for the last eight years. Figured it would be best to get it in to the smith and have him take a look at it. Firing pin was broken, so the pin and springs are being replaced, and the magazine spring is being replaced.
