A co-worker is offering me his custom Robar “Tactical Elite” Remington 870 in-trade for my daily BUG (Kahr PM9).
I have an old snubby that I can use as my BUG until I can pick up another PM9.
I don’t really want to give up the Kahr but I know this shotty is worth far more $$$ than the Kahr and I don’t have a shotgun.
It has a ribbed barrel which is not something I have seen on many “tactical” shotguns. I dig how it looks, just don’t know if there are any drawbacks to having the ribbed barrel…
Just wondering what you guys think of this particular shotgun?
Like most, I’m a huge fan of the 870 and I think everyone should own at least one. I’ve never seen the Robar version. The rib is kind of a moot point with GR sights, but I Really dig it. If it was me, I’d make that trade in a heart beat.
Im sooo confused:confused: The biggest issue is that I just got busted by the wife for buying $500 worth of gear during SKD’s end of year sale (Blue Force Gear LMAC + pouches, etc.). It will be a while before I can skim enough $$$ to fund the purchase of another Kahr…
how is this even a question? If you’re not going to do it, put me in contact and I’ll do the trade.
Someone above pointed out the details to the 870…
ETA:, nevermind, it was you. I think you should make the trade unless there’s something wrong with that shotgun. If your friend had a lick of common sense, he’d sell that shotgun and buy a Kahr, extra mags, and ammo…and maybe even better sights.
Heck, that shotgun is so nice, I’d just open-carry it until I got a new Kahr.
If you don’t make the trade, you’ll talk about the “deal” you missed for years and years… “Man, one time this guy wanted to trade me a custom Robar 870 for a plastic Kahr I had and I didn’t do it. I can’t believe I was that stupid!!”
Wow…I don’t see $1500 worth of upgrades on that shotgun. That price does not include the shotgun.
A lot of those items listed are fluff…they even listed cutting the barrel off twice. (How many does do you have to cut it before you get it right?) :rolleyes:
Test fire…
Install sling swivel…
Install large safety button…
Install high visibility follower…
Install magazine tube extension…
Smooth action…
Install side saddle…
These are all Saturday afternoon projects for a new shotgun owner.
I would never pay their asking price for a shotgun, but I believe the more detailed (and expensive) work consists of the barrel work, the NP3 & Roguard finish, the ghostring sights, and the stock work.
I only paid $350 for the Kahr so i think I did okay on this one.
"Robar makes some really nice stuff…I have a SR90 bolt gun and it is a tack driver.
