Remington 870 410 Info requested

[Becktex]

Hi - I recently purchased a Remington 870 LW 410 VR IMP CYL, probably 1977 year model. Wondering where I can find more info about this model - books? Articles? Curious as to how many manufactured, etc. Thank you.

Probably?
Date code?
Mahogany stock?

No data on how many were made. No mahogany by 1977, if indeed it is a 1977 gun. No specific books I know of, but included in books like Kuhnhausen's book "The Remington Shotguns". I have an electronic copy of the 1977 catalog, but it only covers it like all the other normal production guns. Send me your email if you would like a copy.

No mahogany by 1977

You mean it was gone already?

I stand corrected, 1977 was the last year for mahogany in 20 gauge. Shouldn't have trusted to memory. The mahogany was introduced on standard frame 20 gauge 1100s in 1964 and they called that a "lightweight" before the LW size starting in 1971, and then it continued in the 20, and the 28 & .410 when they came along.
