Seller is wanting $220...claiming used but in good shape
Sent a pic of the receiver and it looks pretty damned flawless. Still awaiting word on whether I can put different chokes in the barrel.
Any experience with this model? Should I go for it?

No, owning an Express is a never ending battle with rust.

This will not end well for you. OB hates the 870 for some reason. I have had mine for over 20 years and have not had a rust problem. I hunt with it all the time.
If you want it, buy it, own it

Not no but hell no. I'd own a mossberg over a new Remington. Remington is complete crap these days. I was in Hebert guns the other day and someone walked in trying to sell them a Rem shotgun and they laughed at him. They will not buy used Rem guns bc they are crap. I don't believe they even sell them

They are very good guns for their price. For $200 that gun with a little care will be around for a long time. It wont win any beauty contests or popularity contests with some friends, but will make a good gun to have, especially as a first shotgun or a backup shotgun. The express should have a barrel that will accept the Rem Chokes.

I really like the 870 I use. It's a good gun.

Hell yes i'd buy it. I've had my express for around 15 years and never had this rust issue, but I don't treat mine like shite. It usually gets cleaned after use.

How old is the gun? I don't think the OB has a problem with the 870 Express overall, just mostly the ones that were manufactured after the Freedom Group bought them out (mid 2000's).
FWIW I have a newer model 870 Tactical that sits next to my bed and the finish is fine.

Aren't they like $300 new at Walmart?
I wouldn't go a penny higher than $150
