Buying a New Remington 870?

I noticed several for sale on gunownersclub.com this morning.
 
OP - I've called SEVERAL gun shops this morning and checked with a few out West as well, and cannot find the exact model you want. Several gun stores took the time to search US inventory to possibly order (2-3 day delivery) and none of them could find it in stock in the US. One guy said Remington is not producing very many wood stock shotguns at the moment. I'll keep searching, but not looking promising for a quick turn around.
 
My understanding is since the move from NY to GA they production is slow. I was looking for a wood stock youth 870 a few months ago with zero luck. Ended up getting a used one.
 
I'd buy a police trade in Wingmaster or Police. There are thousands of them and most are between $300-$400. I won a like new Police made in '91 for $240 I think once. It literally looked new. Aim surplus, Arms Unlimted and Kings Firearms gets 870 trade ins all the time.
 
^^^^ 870 won't cycle? or 1100? My buddy has a new 870 12G 26" and has not had any problems to date. Ofc, he has only owned it 6-8 months and mainly turkey hunted with it across several States this spring.
 
I got my 870 express combo in 1986.
$200
Still got it.

That's what I'm looking for to get the oldest boy. He's currently shooting hand-me-down loaners, including my original gun, so it's time for his own gun. This will be the one he carries for 25+ years before he's ready to upgrade.
 
Thanks to @Andy S. for birddogging this thing for me. I may have bought the only R68864 in West Tennessee this morning. Wood stock, 28" bbl, 3" chambered 12 gauge. It was definitely a unicorn.

Purchased from Pioneer Outdoor Sports in Bolivar. The TAFKAP boy is going to be thrilled.
 
Ok so I don't need to be pointing out every 870 in the classifieds for ya? Man it was fun shopping for someone else for a change! 😂😂😂😂

That gun should do him proud for many years!! Congrats and happy birthday to him!
 
Glad you found one. Just a side note, l have three wingmaster 870s, all 3 1/2 guns. Not express. Wingmasters!. Very rare. Most people have never even seen one. Great guns.
