Then all my doubts were gone when I found other skeptics online that had recreated these tests and produced the same results. Both tests resulted in no leaks and no separation of the polymer molding from the barrel and receiver. Remington also did another test where 10,000 rounds were fired through a single barrel.
They put their M887 through salt corrosion and water submersion testing. Now I have to say I was a little skeptical at first about the ArmorLokt polymer molding when I bought my M887, especially when Remington did their own tests to prove the durability and reliability of their product. A Super Cell buttpad comes equipped as well and is, in my opinion, one of the better buttpads currently on the market. The slide release is a large button located in the front of the trigger guard and not some dinky little release tang placed where nobody can find it.
But there are some key selling features that Remington failed to mention, which deserve some recognition.Ī two-piece rotating bolt is used in the M887 which helps reduce size and weight but can take the same amount of punishment as the standard solid bolt on the 870. This boom stick’s main selling features include the ability to shoot 2 3/4, and 3½ 12 gauge shells and the ArmorLokt polymer molding that surrounds the entire shotgun to prevent rust and corrosion. It was designed for the extreme conditions that a shotgun goes through while hunting waterfowl and other large game. Other than the overall shape being similar to the 870 and both being 12 gauge pump actions, the M887 is a completely different shotgun. I was surprised to find out the M887 is nowhere near the 870! 870 based, eh? This sounded good to me so I went out and bought one for myself. Out of curiosity, I started doing a little research online and found Remington had originally stated that the M887 is “based off” of the legendary 870. This made me wonder if anyone had even heard of this boom stick before or if they just kept it in the “piece of crap” section of their mind next to the Ford Pinto. When I asked fellow gun enthusiastic friends to name the first shotgun that came to mind, the majority responded with “Remington 870”. Not one mentioned the Remington M887 NitroMag.
