Two 870's in 12 & 20 ga. from the early 90's have been flawless while much used.
Bought aftermarket followers and springs but haven't needed to swap.
They stay loaded with one chambered and 18.5 barrels in between trips.


I bought a mid 70's 700 BDL in great shape a few years back from a friend.
It's about wasted on me. Couple times a year I shoot a clover leaf off a bench at 200 yds. with a $50 Barska scope. No adjustments necessary just clean and oil and back in the case she goes.
