I'd recommend a Remington youth model 870. Thats what I used after I got good with my single shot 20 gauge, and it worked like a dream, and its a very affordable gun.

The Remington 870 shotgun was first intoduced in the late 1950's (I believe...perhaps earlier), and the design is largely unchanged since. It has proven itself many thousand times over as a reliable, durable and long-lasting design that, if cared for properly, will out live you and your children.

As an example, my dad bought his 870 Wingmaster 20 gauge new in 1967 (he was 16 years old at the time). That gun is still going strong today. It has had perhaps 15,000 shells run through it, and except for a bit of normal wear on the bluing of the magazine tube it shoots as well today as it did when it came out of the box 37 years ago.

The Express model is the dressed down version of the 870, but it still is just as functional and reliable as the top shelf Wingmaster. I myself own an 870 Express Super Mag 12 gauge that is incredibly reliable. It isn't the prettiest gun to look at, but it definately has it where it counts.

You won't go wrong buying an 870. They are excellent guns, and a great value for the money. Parts and accessories are plentiful and most are reasonably priced, ahould the gun ever need service or if you want to trick it out.

I've also got a comment on your "signature", I don't know that "1 shot one kill" is for the army, marine and army ranger snipers throw this around a lot, but it's not "code" anywhere else, heck, in Vietnam infantry and artillery reported expending an average of over 50,000 rounds PER KILL, army snipers reported 1.7rnds/kill. Don't expect anyone who shoots a fully automatic or burst-fire weapon to follow this policy.

Uhh....Don't they have a selectorswitch?

50.000 is a bit much, wouldn't that mean that they would have worn out a rifle per kill?

k I got it. but now when I was taking it apart the breech bolt and slide block fell out. Then I couldn't figure out how to put the slide back on. And when I got it back on the Breech bolt and slide block fell way back to the back of the reciver. I cant get it out so if you could tell me how that would be nice!
