This beauty is a great addition for any home owner. Solid and reliable.

First off, I’ve wanted one of these for a very long time. Thank you Buds for your layaway program. It rocks! The gun itself also rocks! Nickel finish is awesome. Action is buttery smooth. My only complaints would be the cheap quality of the stock and the cheapo plastic trigger guard. Why they would make the trigger guard from plastic baffles me. The butt stock is really thin hollow plastic and makes me wonder if it would hold up to a drop. However, neither of those is enough to deter me from the gun overall. It’s bada$$ to say the least. Comes with a sling as pictured which was a plus. Have shot several boxes of low brass and quite a few 3” punishers, and haven’t had a single problem. Very happy with this purchase!

This is a well made shotgun, just like all Remington 870's, this one is all that and more. Clean up is easy, and if you use decent ammo (not the cheap stuff) you probably wont have to clean. 250 rounds with no problems so far. I believe this marine magnum will be hard to find in the distant future, so grab one while you can. Buds got the best price for these BTW so no need to search and waste your time.

I have been wanting to add one of these Marine Magnums to my 870 collection for many years. This is the most I've ever paid for a Remington 870, but the nickel plating is worth the premium I think. I also find it rather interesting that I have never seen any used Marine Magnums for sale that I can recall, so I am guessing that people buy them and hang on to them. I picked it up from my transfer dealer today and the gun looked great. Was very pleased to find that Remington had also installed a Speedfeed-type grooved forend on this one (the shorter "corn-cob" type that is on most Police guns, that doesn't come back over the front of the receiver when racked all the way back so it won't interfere with a 6-round Sidesaddle shell holder). So, that was a big "plus" in my book. I run the Speedfeed and/or Remington OEM Police forends on all of my "serious use" 870's. The buttstock is one of the newer ones Remington is using now. Actually looks much better in person than in pictures. These do not have the old checkering on them like the older ones. Black synthetic. Also has the newer more "squishy" Remington recoil pad installed. I've retrofitted a few of these to my older guns and they seem to be pretty good to go. And these aren't supposed to be prone to deteriorating and melting like the old Sim's/R3 pads. Time will tell. I will take it to the range soon, but don't expect any issues. Action is pretty slick for being "new in the box" (I'm sure the nickel finish has a lot to do with this.) Oh, and this one does have the plastic trigger guard. (I've read that some of these came with metal like the Police guns). No biggie, as I have 870's with metal and with plastic. No problems with ANY of them. The gun also came with a black sling as well. What else can I say? It's an 870. They are proven. They work. Good old American STEEL. Last, but not least, Bud's came thru sending to me what appears to be another fine example of the quality that Remington is still capable of even today. My only regret is that I've waited so many years to pick up a Marine Magnum. Finally got mine! If I find another one at a decent price, I might just get another.

I just can’t say enough about this shotgun it’s just works. The finish is tough as nails. Makes a great home defense or a truck gun. You can’t go wrong with this one

I purchased this shotgun for home defense, fortunately I'm not leaving a review for its performance in this particular area. The marine magnum has about 500 rounds through it without a single flaw, I mean what did I expect it's a Remington. The main reason I wanted to leave a review was to reach any new customers to Buds. I am very impressed with the speed of shipping and the customer service, I will definitely be shopping with Buds again. Ordered my marine magnum at night and not even 48 hours later I was holding it in my hands. Big thanks to Buds Gun Shop for this amazing experience.

Could not be happier with my order. Bought brand new 870 marine magnum took it to the range, shot about 100 rounds of everything from bird shot, buck shot, slugs and didn't have a single failure to eject extremely satisfied.

Buds made the whole ordering process a breeze. Had the 870 in hand within 10 days. The 870 marines finish looks flawless, the action cycles like a champ, and it just has a cool factor. I would highly recommend this shotgun to anyone in the market.

Remington 870 Marine Magnum 12 G 18in Nickle plated Shotgun. I bought it from buds, 180 day layaway, it came great, buds is great, the shotgun itself sucks, it will cycle a few times, but then gets jammed up, it wont eject the spent shell, and it wont load a new shell, break in issues? when it locks up, after about 3 or 4 really HARD attempts to pump the shotgun, it unjams itself, THIS is suppose to be a HOME DEFENSE FIREARM? This gun will GET YOU KILLED. I cannot recommend this to anyone for any reason. My mossberg 500 is MUCH better, never jams and I bought that from BUDS also, used. it was a cops gun for less than half the price of this new hunk of junk. This Remington is very disappointing, it will get fixed, probably by a local gun smith, but, it will be the last Remington I will ever ever ever buy. not my last gun from buds, but my last Remington. maybe in the 50's when people cared about quality, workmanship, and reputation, they were a leader but, I can say honestly that is not the case with this hunk of junk, if you think you need this nickel coating to keep it from rusting, wrong, get a mossberg 500 or 590, and it will be fine, and if you think you need an extra coat, let me suggest cerakote for it. this is not worth 631 dollars, I have learned my lesson.

Beautiful shotgun. ~800 rounds through it so far with a few jams if the shot shell has a steel head. No signs of corrosion or fouling even after some shooting in bad weather (with proper care afterwards of course). Easy to disassemble and to assemble.

Ordered this shotgun about a month ago, and Buds advised it was in, and with in three days it was at at my FFL Dealer (West Chester Guns / Barry) (who is great to deal with) opened the box and it was perfect, out to the range and it shoots great with no issues. this is my first order with Buds and it will NOT be my last, they are great to work with, very simple, 1.find what you want, 2. order it, 3. enjoy it.

Where has Remington quality gone? Before even taking this gun out of the box I could see that the Nickle coating on the end of the magazine tube was flawed and the steel underneath was already beginning to rust. How this got past any Remington quality control inspectors I'll never know. It was terrible workmanship. Yes, they replace the part with no problem. But then after waiting nearly two weeks to get this problem resolved, I finally loaded it with shells (Remington brand, of course). To my complete dismay, the gun jammed nearly every time I tried to cycle a shell through the receiver. I tried four other types of 12 GA shells and had similar results. So, now the gun has been shipped back to Remington to correct this problem. How many weeks this will take is anybodys guess. Twice dissapointed in the quality of this gun, I'm not sure I would buy another Remington. Too bad. My 20 year old 870 Wingmaster works like a dream. Unfortunately, I assumed that they still made them like they used to.

Shotgun comes totally assembled. Simple breakdown. first safety check, of course. You'll need a flat head screwdriver to loosen the clamp that secures the barrel to the mag tube extension and slide off. Then unscrew the magazine tube extention bolt and remove. Keep pressure on as you release the bolt as magazine spring and follower can fly out quickly. Bring fore-end to half position and barrel will pull right out. Then depress and hold the shell latch and slide the fore-end forward and off the magazine tube. Tap out the trigger retaining pins to release the trigger assembly. The whole operation will take less than 5 minutes. More like 2-3 minutes with a little practice.. My indoor range allows 12 gauge shot gun to be fired but only with game load shot shells and a minimum of 15 yards. I used Winchester Super X game load - 2 3/4", 1 oz , #8 Lead shot. Perfectly accurate as I peppered my target with 14 rounds. Action was very smooth and easy shell ejection. Recoil is moderately strong but manageable with a bit of muzzle flip. Now to find an outdoor range and shoot some 00 Buckshot and Slugs. I love this gun.

5 stars for Bud's Gun Shop. Fanatstic price on this beautiful firearm. Fast delivery to my FFL dealer with e-mail updates throughout the whole process. This is my 6th firearms purchase within the past 3 months and all without a hitch. Now to read the manual and practice the takedown and reassembly which looks fairly routine.

This shotgun is just awesome and one of the most durable 870's out there next the police models and the MCS. As for the price good luck finding any thing even close. You really can't go wrong with this gun this purchase was a no brainer!

this is a sweet shotgun. its the best deal around for a brand new marine margnum. i think i might have bought the last one in stock!

This is a true utility shotgun. It can be shot hard and put away wet. Nickel finish is non-reflective. Gun patterns nice with 00 and #4 buckshot. Trigger guard assembly is formed from composite material; however I believe that this is just as strong as the cast aluminum version. Replace the factory cast extractor with forged steel, change out the magazine follower with a Scattergun Tech version and you will be good to go for a lifetime.
