Where can I get that for end?

[MidwayUSA]

@Gman027 This particular Remington 870 was used as assembled from the factory, we did not make any modifications to it. We do however quite a few aftermarket accessories for the 870 if you are interested in modifying your 870. Feel free to give us a call Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. CT; Saturday and Sunday 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. CT and we'd be happy to help you out!

Thanks for your business!

This question is for Midway. Is that 870 modified? Turners used to sell one like that but I can't seem to find it anymore. Did you get this 870 that way from the factory? Thanks.

big fan of the 870(mostly for the cheap price,large amount of modifications, and long history) but can you do a video on a reamake of the winchester 1897 trench gun?

[MidwayUSA]

@dasdew2 We're always open to new ideas; we'll take your suggestion into consideration during our film planning. Thanks again!

I could picture Larry Potterfield in a zombie movie with that big ass shotgun in his hands after shooting a zombie's head off with that shotgun. After shoot the zombie in the head he says "I'm Larry Potterfield and that's the way it is". That would be so badass!!!

@Slave2Reason their just to lazy to test real guns such as 10mm, 20 gauge, .44 super, .44 mag and ever other personal defense load.

[booya155]

How is a 12 Gauge 00 Buck given the same amount of points for knockdown power as the .45 ACP? .45's are good and all but let's be honest here, it's not even on the same scale as a 12 gauge...

[Berelore]

I love larry's sign off "I'm Larry Potterfield and that's the way it is" Gives it a very my word is law feeling.

If you wouldn't allow your super-rich to bring their money into tax havens (where it mingles with that of drug dealers and terrorists) and would build up a good welfare system instead, you wouldn't need all that "self defense" guns. Most of the people killed by them are the ones from you families. Greetings says: A shooting club member in bavaria. P.S. Really, your must be crazy. Jails are full, killings everywhere. One nation under god?

[julioaguirre1]

4 hits there were like 50 holes in that paper plate!

[Slave2Reason]

45 ACP +P, 45 Long Colt +P, the same as OO Buck @400....  Not really...
