I think it's a 2014 model. That gun is honestly probably one of the biggest piles of shit I've ever bought. Light primer strikes were the only malfunction I hadn't had in that gun until frog lube. The gun can barely get shells to clear the ejection port, I've had double feeds, and empty shells get stuck in the chamber. After about 1k rounds she's finally starting to loosen up and not suck as bad. I also had to put in a volquartsen extractor. Here is a couple pics of the factory one vs CNC machined one.

I do have an older youth 20ga 870 that has been perfect in every way. I took the butt stock off it and put a pistol grip on it. That one does bedside duty now with some buckshot. Also have a 60s model 1100 that got passed down from my grandfather, that has been perfect also.
After the shit storm of this newest 870 I'll never buy another gun made by Remington
You can literally see/feel the difference in quality when freedom group bought Remington. It sucks that they are trashing the name and ruining t reputation.
