I bought my M 870 30" 3-inch Mag vent in November of 1969 the weekend after I came within inches of losing my newly 100% Del Grego-restored 12 ga. VHE overboard in a deeper-than-I-was-tall marsh canal while duck hunting at Monie Bay (MD). I figured I could afford to buy 6 and a half more 870s at my then-employee discount price at the sporting goods store I worked at as opposed to finding and 'restoring' another VHE. The VHE (190737) is out there somewhere in Parkerland; the 870 is still taking them down with authority 47+ years later.

Yeah it took a while to get it off, but it clean and smooth now.
