Remington has taken the venerable and reliable shotgun and pulled it into the 21 st century. "Remington issues recall on select Model 887 shotguns". "Preview: Remington's 2009 887 Nitro Mag Pump Action". ^ "New pump shotgun from Remington: Model 887 NitroMag".^ a b Adam Heggenstaller (December 19, 2008)."Up-Armored Pump: Remington's 887 Nitro Mag" (PDF). ^ a b c "Model 887 Nitro Mag Waterfowl".The 887 Waterfowl is also slightly heavier than the 887. The waterfowl version includes a finish covered in Mossy Oak's Break-Up Infinity and also Realtree Advantage Max-4 HD camo, which makes it ideal for hunting, as per its namesake. The 887 Nitro Mag Waterfowl is very similar to the base version, with the main difference being the finish. The Tactical model is similar to the base model, but with an 18.5 inch barrel, a magazine extension tube, and 2 Picatinny mounting rails. Remington has released several new models including 887 Nitro Mag Tactical, 887 Nitro Mag Bone Collector, and 887 Nitro Mag Camo Combo. Remington was initially marketing two versions of the 887, the 887 Nitro Mag and the 887 Nitro Mag Waterfowl. Remington 887 Nitro Mag Tactical Custom (with a 18.5 inch barrel and muzzle standoff attachment fitted in place of a choke) This is in contrast to the 870, where the slide release is a small metal tab located to the left of the trigger guard. The slide release, for example, is a large, triangular button located on the top half of the trigger guard's face which is easy to use, even with gloves on or with numb hands. The 887 offers several improvements over the 870's design, usually in the name of user-friendliness. However, besides this, the 887 actually differs fairly significantly from the 870, and is not designed to replace the 870. These make up the steel "core" of the 887. The core design, specifically, the receiver and the barrel, is based upon that of the famous Remington 870, although the 887 employs a significantly redesigned action, with rotating bolt-head locking lugs in lieu of the single lifting lug used in the 870. Every shotgun that has been inspected will be punch-marked on the bolt to indicate that the guns have been returned, checked, repaired if necessary and test-fired to ensure they are up to 100 percent. Remington will continue production of Model 887 shotguns as the issue isn't inherent to the 887 design itself, just some flawed components that were put into production firearms. If a round is chambered with the firing pin locked forward it's possible the shotgun may fire, resulting in an unintentional discharge. Remington flagged these guns over a defect that might bind the firing pin to the forward position. Remington is doing a voluntary recall on all Model 887 shotguns manufactured between Dec. It also gives the gun a unique look, which is often criticized. The surface of the barrel, receiver, and synthetic fore-end has a tire-tread pattern to make a non-slip surface. Noted on several sites are issues with the fore end tube assembly having rust directly from the factory. Several key parts of the weapon are not treated with the ArmorLokt process. Smaller tests have been conducted by reviewers which somewhat verify these results. A second test was conducted, where over 10,000 rounds were discharged through a single 887 barrel, and the barrel's coating showed no signs of separation. Company engineers subjected the 887 to salt-corrosion and submersion tests and checked for leaks and separation in the polymer, and none were found. Remington claims that the ArmorLokt finish is impenetrable, and has several tests to help back up this claim. Manufacturers have come up with several ways to help protect a gun's metal surface, but overmolding the gun with a polymer is a unique concept. In this way, the steel provides the strength for the gun while the polymer protects the inner workings from the elements, including inclement weather and resulting corrosion. The entire receiver and barrel of the 887 is coated with a glass-filled nylon material which protects the steel interior of the gun. The 887's most striking feature is the ArmorLokt finish. The Remington 887's brochure confirms this by comparing itself to the Mossberg 835 and the Benelli Nova. The look of the 887 is also frequently compared to that of the Benelli Nova. In this way, it competes with the Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag, which is designed specifically for firing 3 ½″ magnum shells. As the name suggests, the 887 Nitro Mag can chamber 3 ½″ magnum shells.
