Grizzly 12 gauge. 870 compatible?
Anybody know if the Grizzly pump 12 gauge compatible with Remington 870?
Also are they garbage? Or worth buying for parts.
Thanks

I've got one, 12" barrel, changed out stock and foregrip with Magpul parts and put an SJ
no jam follower in it, has the ghost ring sights. Heavy gun, but very reliable. Not sure if it's compatible with all 870 parts, but seems like it should be. I got mine as a trade on a Diana air rifle, glad I did. It's been beat around, left in the rain, and generally served hard duty as a camp gun. It works great.
One of my better moments with it a few years ago....

Dude your video made me laugh. Especially the end when you hear a scream and running.
Thanks for letting me know that it's been reliable.
I have a few 870's that are projects and looking to see if these Grizzlies might work.

You want a gun that is reliable under duress don't go for cheap. Rem 870, Ithaca 37, Winchester model 12, Benelli pump are all available for not much more than the crap made imitations.

I agree with you in principle, and my other shotguns are Remington, Browning, Beretta, and Mossberg. I wouldn't have a Chinese gun ever, but the trade made it worth trying, and the grizzly is a stout reliable gun.
I still wouldn't buy a Norco to replace my Sig, but credit where it is due. If Remington made an 870 that size:configuration, I'd be all over it. But that grizzly always works. And with slugs, I can hit buckets at 75 yards all day with it. Hard not to like it.

Fair comment. I have a Rico o/u in 20 gauge with a 12 inch barrel. Great grouse gun and a pretty proficient slug thrower. Made in Turkey and not all that cheap. My point was to buy quality and u are on the same page.
