A Word From the Author:

"This book has been written as a tribute to the remarkable Remington Model 870 more than anything else. It is certainly not a technical work, nor is it meant to be a definitive study of this gun mechanically, historically, or otherwise. The work is meant to be more of a montage, if you will, of stories and information related to this wonderful and ageless gun. To be sure, it does contain technical information, as well as a historical chronology of the production of different versions of this model. But, overall, it is meant to show how widespread and diversified this shotgun is in its use throughout the world ... It is about a shotgun that is found in all corners of the world and in the hands of the rich and the poor. It is about everybody's shotgun." -- Nick Hahn, Litchfield Park, Arizona, March 2012
