USMC M870 Mk1

AJ · Mar 18, 2022

Was looking at a completed Morphy Auction and about had heart failure. I saw this: Lot Detail - (C) REMINGTON MODEL 870 WINGMASTER TRENCH GUN SLIDE ACTION SHOTGUN.

I made up the attachment in the late 1980s and used it to teach a Combat Shotgun Course. The parts I found at a gun show in southern Calif. and I bought a 870 Express at Big 5 Sporting Goods. Then assembled my own USMC M870 MK 1.

I didn't think $1,600.50 was unreasonable for the "real, deal, US Marine" shotgun. Wait, that is $16,050.00 -- WHAT ? ?

Yah, when I saw the total the phrase that popped out of my mouth would not make it here. First word was "Holy" and I expect you know what the second word was. Oh, myyyy.

The interest in combat shotguns just astounds me. On the other hand, I have a 1942 Model 12 trench gun just like the one shown here, and I often see them selling in the $8,000-$10,000 price range, sometimes more. I kinda view it as a part of my retirement fund (and it really is a pretty cool shotgun).

I carried one of those a very long time ago.

What's the difference between those and the ONG 870 Wingmasters that sold a few years ago?

Those did not have rifle sights and the magazine tube sticks out past the barrel. The USMC Model 870 MK 1 is marked U.S.Property. Also the fact that they were made for the Corps, not the ONG.
