It's not a police magnum, no deal at all.

So it says police Magnum. But it's not? How so?

"REMINGTON 870 POLICE MARINE 12 GAUGE, 3", ELECTROLESS BARREL".

Doesn't say magnum. Doesn't take 3.5" shells either

Always thought 3" chamber was magnum, 3.5" is super ultra mega bang magnum.

Making this a police marine magnum

 

[z3r0s1gn4l]

always opt for the super ultra mega bang lol

I haven't ever seen a 3" shell not marked magnum. Maybe I haven't been looking with enough vigilance.

Tempting...

Oddly, this item peeked my interest enough to use the Googlies. The link below seems to give a great bit of knowledge, as the product model no of 25047 is sadly re-used by Remi.

Seems like a fair price to me. The blog your quoting is 4 yrs old so relevance could be questionable since things change

Sorry Ryan. Thought someone might pick it up at your discount. If I needed a third I would have lol. Your discounted price was 65$ less than what I paid in 2013 for one of these. Amazing.

I thought anything over 2-3/4" was considered a Magnum.

After reading this thread, I'm pretty sure I'm still right on that.

Great price for sure, but there are a couple of 870s in the quiver already.

I concur. 3" was the original magnum. 3.5" was, as someone else so eloquently put it, the "super ultra mega bang magnum". lol

I think the horse has been beaten enough.
