Hi folks,
I came across an 870 express for sale and haven't seen one like it. It's a 20 ga with "Team NWTF* stamped on the receiver. 21" barrel and synthetic stock. It's not listed on Remington's site. Anybody have one?

Hi: If this one you see them from time to time. I am going to guess that they were made in the early 90's.I do remember looking at them new for under 400.00.

Thanks for the info. It looks exactly like your pic. I thought it would make a nice little grouse buster in thick cover.

That's exactly why I bought my 20ga ''compact'' 870. Has adjustable length of pull all the way up to 14''. Can't wait to try it come September.
 
It's a National Wild Turkey Federation "Dinner" gun, used for their fund raising events,
in much the same as Ducks Unlimited has been doing for years. Worth no more than any other 870 of similar vintage and characteristics.

Am guessing this one was likely set up with an extra full turkey choke. Does it have a short (shorter than the usual 14" LOP ) stock ? ... as in a "Junior" gun ?
 
Stock is regular 14" with full choke. I can find info on the jr. gun but not one with a regular stock. It's light, fits perfect and points like your finger. I'll probably pick it up Saturday. Thanks for the help guys.
