Title: Remington 870 ejector spring and rivet replacement
Post by: Loki_762 on January 17, 2017, 07:57:38 PM: Does anyone know of a competent gunsmith that could replace the ejector spring and rivet on an 870? For the price of the parts and tools from Brownells, I could probably have the work done by someone who knows what they're doing. I am in Everett, so Seattle, Marysville, and even Arlington are all workable options.
Thanks,
Chris

When I picked it up and saw the $120 price tag, I about blew a gasket. At one point I thought I got a steal of a deal for the gun at $150, but not after that mistake. Make sure you get a quote first.

Thanks,
Chris
