so as you know i bought me an 870 express magnum combo! well i take it out and start shooting with it mostly clays and i had some jamming issues and improper ejection issues. well the jamming issue really sucks because the shell will get stuck in the chamber or it something keeps the action from cycling normally and i have to take it off my should and ram it open to eject the shell. and on the third round of five the empty hull gets stuck in the chamber and doesn't eject correctly. well i sent these to Remington looking for a repair or something of the like. they email me back and tell me to drive 100miles to a authorized repair center!!! 100 god damn miles! im not paying for gas to drive 100 miles to have a brand new gun repaired!!! on top of that i bought a mossburg 500 for almost 200 dollars less and it hasnt jammed once and it came with 3 chokes and hi-lite sites!!!

Hmm. I think Remington may have turned into Smith and Wesson. A friend of mine bought a Remington .22 rifle and that thing kept jamming. I figured it was because he hadn't cleaned it or anything, but still, my Ruger .22 has had well over 400 rounds through it and I only had one jam due to my clip not putting enough pressure.

even that would kick ass...

75,000 is really a good amount of money. Most people don't make that. But that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve more :)

sure you could shoot clays with it... A SPAS 12 is just a modified Auto Gas powered Shotgun... I mean duh... its not gonna be anywhere as accurate as a long barrell shotgun, but come on, how great is that that u can let loose like 10 rounds in less than 5 seconds?

.1* 10,000,000 = 1,000,000................
methinks your numbers are wrong.. no one takes a job knowing they're only getting .1% comission.. sorry.
