10 Truths About Your Remington 870 Most Owners Never Know 🔗 THE BENCH BOOK + 2 TOOLS → https://dylanbenett.com A man named Bartholomew Quillfeather-Nkemdi put a shotgun on my counter in February and asked me what it would cost to have the barrel replaced, because somebody had told him the bore was ruined. He is sixty-one. His father bought the gun new. He has carried it every November since he was fourteen years old and he has never once had it apart. He had already been quoted three hundred and something for a new barrel, which is a real number and not an unreasonable one, and he had come to me for a second opinion on whether it was worth it. I asked him one question before I touched it, which was whether I could read the two letters on the side of the barrel out loud to him. He said he did not know there were letters on the side of the barrel. There are. They are on almost every Remington ever built, they have been there since about nineteen twenty, and they are stamped in plain sight on the top left of the barrel just ahead of where it meets the receiver. Two letters, and sometimes three. Most people who own one of these have never looked at them, and the two people who had already given Bartholomew a price had not looked at them either.
