Remington 870 with Hastings Rifled Slug Barrel
I have a Remington 870 12ga that I purchased a Hastings rifled slug barrel with canti leaver scope mount ...also has a Triditions veriable scope ... about 20 rounds shot through it and is sighted in for 100 yards ... the stock barrel comes with it ... I bought it to hunt Illinois but never went $400.00 or trade for a scope of equal value.

DD, Watch which Remington you shoot!
WARNING! KNOW THE AMMUNITION YOU ARE USING
Pre-1999 Remington Copper Solid Ammunition is not recommended for use in Hastings Barrels.
We at Hastings are concerned about customer safety. Our barrels are manufactured using the highest quality steel and modern production methods. Each barrel is independently proof tested, and we have a consistant history of safety and superior performance.
We have observed that some of Hastings' replacement barrels have been damaged when customers used pre-1999 Remington Copper Soilid Sabot Ammunition with the specifications below:
[align=left]Index/EDI No.[/align]
[align=left]Gauge[/align]
[align=left]Shell Length[/align]
[align=left]Slug Weight[/align]
[align=left]PR 12 MAG RS[/align]

[align=left]PR 12 RS[/align]
[align=left]12 ga.[/align]
[align=left]2 3/4"[/align]
[align=left]1 oz.[/align]
[align=left][/align]Damage has occured after varying numbers of rounds were fired, causing some barrels to bend. Damage has been seen among the following Hastings Products:

Hastings manufactures many interchangable replacement barrels for pump and automatic guns. The original manufacturer's design for some barrels require thin walls to achieve light weight and balance. We believe the design of the above Remington Solid Sabot Ammunition causes some of the thin-walled barrels to bend.
We do not recommend the use of the pre-1999 ammunition in any Hastings product. Hastings will not be responsible for any damage incurred while using this ammunition. If you are in doubt about the age of identity of your ammunition, stop and seek professional advice before proceeding to use any Remington Copper Solid Ammunition in your Hastings shotgun barrel. Although the damage reported to date is bending of the barrel, this is no assurance that even more serious damage or injury could not occur. For this reason, you should know that you are assuming any such risks if you use the pre-1999 ammunition in Hastings barrels.
ATTENTION
This warning DOES NOT apply to the New Generation 1999 Remington Copper Solid Ammunition listed below:
[align=left]Index/EDI No.[/align]
[align=left]Gauge[/align]
[align=left]Shell Length[/align]
[align=left]Slug Weight[/align]
