Title: 870 20s
Post by: bowbird87 on January 12, 2026, 03:28:07 PM
Why is an 870 20 gauge impossible to find right now? I called two very large gun stores here in GA and they said they haven't seen a new 870 years.

Two reasons.  1 - The secret is out on TSS and sub gauges.  2 - They're simple to use and rock solid (at least the older ones)

The sub gauges have been popular for years. I was more curious why huge stores are saying they haven't received shipments of Remington guns in over a year.

They shut down and sold. It open back up at smaller production ?????  I have seen a few new 12s and had few folks order stuff for the 20.  I just looked at one of my wholesale dealers they dont list Remington at all.

Got one at a gun show recently,  a youth model.  In the entire gun show it was the ONLY one and cost me 400 bucks, but  really wanted one.  Not sure Remington is making them currently and if they are, they are very few it seems...

I got lucky, and ended up finding an older one at a local pawn shop that I had hydrodipped and set up. Seems the new ones must be made in limited production runs. I've seen a few, but maybe just one or two here and there.

looking forward to hunting with it this year. I'm 83 and had operation on my right shoulder for Melanoma cancer February last year. Asked doctor if I could hunt and he said no.

I've had my eye out for one as well. There are some guys asking pretty high prices for them. I'll wait until I can find a decent deal.

Id trade you mine.  looking for a 67 Chevelle.. you can add some cash to make the deal more appealing to me.
