12ga 870 Express Super Mag?
I've been offered one as partial payment on a debt. Looks clean with very little use, 26" or 28" VR barrel, accepts screw in chokes and has one installed (don't know WHICH one though), no box.
Other than the ability to take 3 1/2" shells, is there anything special about them?
Thanks!
