Thread: Wadda you rekon?

I've heard good things about the GC 870 clones.. At the end of the day most firearms parts are made in china anyway + its pretty hard to mess up a pump action, They are pretty reliable. 870 parts also fit on it so if anything does decide to give, not hard to find new parts or accessories

Sorry mate but the GC clones are rubbish. The ones i have seen have had bent charging arms, soft metal hence thicker receiver, sloppy pump and weigh considerably more than the actual Rem 870. Again bent/broken extractors have been a problem. Getting a second hand Rem 870 or even a Maverick is a far better decision than the GC copy.

For the price, They are pretty good. Naturally a proper mav 88 or rem 870 would be the best choice but sometimes we gotta keep our budgets tight in this economy and for the price, it will last a few years at least. Guns really are one of the things that you get what you pay for. I wouldn't buy one personally, I prefer double or single shots when it comes to shotguns but for a bit of range fun or bunny/duck popping, It would do the job.

you are very bloody well aware of whom i speak squire ,and whats more this gun was in the midst of numerous itie glamour guns who are rigorously promoted for purchase every year by the national gunshop chain.despite your claims my wee turk has never graced the bloody gunsmiths sine i bought it ,more than can be said for a few of our esteemed shooting mates with their fancy topgun ities !the large bespectacled one springs to mind as does the rotund bearded one who returned his first gun after it shit itself and had to get a replacement!
