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.

so would a well wieghted brick or a shangai
its not cheap or good fun if your costantly chasing them up to fix it.

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!

fixed FOR YA !!!!

I would hold fite on the GC 870s, the couple I have handled were crazy heavy and the fit and finish was average at best.

I would advise looking at other options - I had an escort magnum semi auto that ran flawlessly, sold it a while ago and just heard from new owner that he's put another couple of thousand through it without missing a beat.

If you are patient and shop around good deals come up on trademe- I got a Mossberg 500a 28in barrel in mint condition on trademe for $350. Then, if you want, shorter barrels are cheap as chips from Brownells - I got a 22in barrel landed for $150

I ended up getting one for 250 brand new, so far i've put an ATI pistol grip stock on it. It shoots great and never had an issue after 150 carts, 100 in one day. My only complaint is the poor finish on it and its a bit heavy (Man up!) but you get what you pay for. I've shot steel/slugs/buckshot so far and handled it fine. I think they are norinco 98s rebranded for GC as when fitting the new stock I needed to follow those instructions.

what like a bloody hurricanes supporter after the friggin nelson arsekicking!

Got a 18.5 barrel 870 clone with ghost rings for the wife, she loves it. Heavy as shit, but due to it being quite short the extra weight make it a bit easier for her to handle.

I have another little shotty project in the works, and could be keen on getting it threaded for chokes. What's this likely to cost?
