Cautiously interested based on price and configuration.

We are not out to gouge people, gun prices in this country have risen enough and since we control the costs on stuff like this we like tp help you guys where we can. The increase in price will only be the difference in price it costs us to get them from the distributor compared to a standard 870 Express. Otherwise all the same process to turn them into our 8.5" & 10" guns is the same as we already do now so there will be no extra charge. I have ordered 5 from the distributor to build as samples. They tell me the ETA will be Jan/18 sometime. On a side note, we have actually changed a few things on out 870 barrels as well to update them a bit. I think you guys will be happy with them, updates to come as we get the process going and make a new batch of them.

I was not implying that you guys gouge your customers. I'm working for a new truck and may or may not be in my budget.

You recently made an mcs forend tube assembly for me . Would your 10 inch version allow me to use this assembly on it as the mag tube was too short on my 8.5 incher to accomodate the barrel guide ring/tube assembly ? Also Joe built my shorty on a Police Magnum shotgun (at extra cost of course) . Is there such a thing in the DM world ?

I was wondering about this. How much too short was it?

The 8.5" & 10" (MCS) have different length mag tubes. The 8.5" will work on the 10" but not vice versa. As for the shotguns we will be making every configuration we can but at this point have not been able to get one into the shop to see the changes Rem have made and be able to give you guys a positive answer to these questions.

Once the shotgun arrives here we will let you know.
 
Might be interested, Had a grizzly mag fed awhile back...got rid of it..was kinda cheap..and the mags were terribly unreliable. Having said all that..I know the rems will be of a far higher quality.

But it seemed weird having a mag-fed shotgun...with a mag tube still on it...until I used the mag tube for storage for a cleaning kit...I thought that was cool....will the rem's be able to be the same? ...I mean utilizing the mag tube for something useful other than a oversized useless empty guide rod for a pump slider? It would be really cool if you could customize something into it like that.....

and the question everybody is thinking.....will they come out with a drum mag? :)
cheers all

We are having trouble getting donor guns in. Seems the Canadian distributors are not getting enough for the country so we may have to go dark and order from the source. I do have 2 units in the shop that I will be converting shortly , making one a 8.5" Shorty and one a 12.5" or 14" version for display guns. Also, I know it has been a long wait but we are almost done the latest run of both 12.5" & 14" 870 barrels. Hang on just a bit longer and we will get there.

Anyone in the Lower Mainland has some machine shop skills and needs a job hit me up. . .
