Hi all,
I am just wondering if the gun I bought is new or not. I can't tell. Here's the story.

Last Wednesday, I visited a gun shop (biggest shop in my area) and ask for the gun that I like "Remington 870 Express Super Magnum with 3 1/2 with wood stock. Of course they don't have it since I already talked to them before.
I asked them if they can ordered for me, they said yes. So, I took their business card and the next following day (thursday morning) I called and asked them to ordered for me. They agreed and told me it will be in Mon/Tue, which is two/three days ago. I called back on Tuesday, they said they don't have it and said that I need to deposit $100 buck first. I was of course upset, since they have my number and couldn't give me a call and tell me that. I hung up the phone and called a different shop. And again, no one carries that gun with the wood stock. And hour later, the man at the shop that didn't order my gun called. He said, (forgot what he exactly said) if it comes tomorrow, you want me to give you a call? I said yes. I was a bit happy again. So, yesterday (wednesday) I received a call and dropped by the shop and saw the gun. Gun was in the remington box, rust color was on the foam around the barrel (you know that color from metal when it's wet). The manual is there with registration card. I was thinking, so when he told me that he didn't have it and called me back an hour later (after I gave him an unpleasant attitude of letting me wait and not telling), did he call the supplier and asked them to ship it over night? Or did he grab and old gun from somewhere and polished it....???

I'm new to gun and cannot tell if it's new or not. Is there a serial number on every gun? I saw the serial # on the box but didn't pay attention on the gun. The piece of rubber at the end of the stock is still new. Well, that can be replaced easily. I see oil near the action.

Well ... any input would be appreciated. I don't want to be ripped of just because I don't know anything about gun. Thanks all ...


Tom

It's probably new. The brown on the foam is more than likely the coat of cosmoline (protective coating) put on all new firearms so they won't rust during shipping and storage. You can tell if it has been fired by looking at the moving parts on the action. Is there light scratches from the movement of metal to metal contact? If not it's new.
Give it a good cleaning and start hunting.
