No can't say that I have but I've never looked. Have you tried looking online at places like Shooting Supplies, Reloading, Gunsmithing, Hunting, Ammunition, Gun Parts & Rifle Scopes — MidwayUSA ?

I can say i like a older 870 for hunting but then i cant beat my mavrick 88 for a home defense cause it was cheap and use the same parts as a 500.
Ha ha thats funny i cant even get mine to shoot my 88 with a 18 1/2" barrel with just #8 birdshot
or slip them in the chamber for the girlfriend

If that is actually your weapon, I sure wouldn't be showing pics of it on the net, or anywhere else for that matter! Unless you have a NFA (National Firearms Act) tax-stamped, class III weapons permit and all the required paperwork, that thing will land you about 10 years Federal prison!
From a NFA webpage:
The term "short-barreled shotgun" means a shotgun having one or more barrels less than eighteen inches in length and any weapon made from a shotgun (whether by alteration, modification, or otherwise) if such weapon as modified has an overall length of less than twenty-six inches. [18 USCS § 921]
Violations of the Act are punishable by up to 10 years in federal prison and forfeiture of all devices or firearms in violation, and the individual's right to own or possess firearms in the future. The Act provides for a penalty of $10,000 for certain violations.[6] A willful attempt to evade or defeat a tax imposed by the Act is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a $100,000 fine ($500,000 in the case of a corporation or trust), under the general tax evasion statute.[7] For an individual, the felony fine of $100,000 for tax evasion could be increased to $250,000.
Sorry to hijack the thread, but I feel this needed to be addressed.
Nothing at all wrong with the new 870 Express shotguns. The "coating" is the same Parkerizing they've used for decades.

I like being called out on the mat..........This is my shotgun and it was purchased and transferred legally thru Class III dealers. It is perfectly legal for an individual to own these types of weapons if you can get a CLEO to finger print & sign off, a Corporation or Trust are two other ways. Your state and local gov have to be gun friendly also.I don't know were you got the misinformation about needing a CLASS III WEAPONS PERMIT, I have never heard of that before.
The Serbu is considered an AOW (Any Other Weapon) by the BATFE and it's a $5.00 tax stamp.
Please contact a local Dealer and find out for your self. http://www.nfadealers.com/
If your going to Hi-Jack a thread please do your homework.
Now back to the subject at hand...........Buy an 870 or a Model 37 Parkarized Ithaca both are very reliable.

The only failures that I've experienced are a worn out bottom Extractor and Extractor spring but that was after shooting thousands of rounds thru it over the years. Both of the items and many more parts are readily available. @ http://www.diamondgunsmithing.com/pa...23/page23.html This guy has 28 years experience as Ithaca Gun's Head Gunsmith
