To ensure the shooter constantly maintains a firm grip, the over moulding incorporates numerous ridges with stippled inlays that run along the receiver, 28” barrel, the effect amplified along the entire length of the oversized fore-end slide. The coating itself is as described protective yet in its own way decorative. Apart from employing a vice and a sledge hammer, rest assured nothing fazes the 887. You can also take my word for it that when importer Edgar Brothers boasted that no matter how I tried, I wouldn’t be able to inflict any damage, they were right. When Remington says their ArmorLokt coating is resistant to anything and everything you can conceive of throwing at it, they mean it. Reason being that apart from the synthetic stock and thick SuperCell recoil pad, the rest of the 887 is encapsulated and sealed within an 1/8th inch thick ArmorLokt coating, this plasticized rubber type armour covering protects every micron of the outer surface. If not, what you’ve now got in your hands currently rates as the world’s first - as near as you’ll get - to an indestructible 12 bore shotgun.Īs soon as you assemble the 887 you’re instantly aware that it’s a big gun. That said, if you need anything more than what’s contained within, you’ve probably bought the wrong shotgun. With a suggested retail price of £660 it’s hardly surprising that the 887 arrives in nothing more upmarket than a cardboard box complete with choke key and a high tensile steel cable lock. However, all that’s now changed in the shape of the all new, rubber armoured M887 Nitromag, a pump-action 12 gauge that’s relaunched Remington’s esteemed manually operated shotgun into the 21st Century complete with a serious attitude problem. Oft regarded as the great-grandfather of single-barrelled shotguns, Remington’s classic pump-action 870 has become something of a novelty and although military versions are standard issue to Germany’s GSG9 squads along with the model’s enduring appeal to practical shotgunners, for many it’s just plain old fashioned. If there’s one company that can take an old design and breathe new life into it, it’s Remington.
