The heartland I speak of is Ohio,United States. Check it out on a map, the territory is even shaped like a heart (well, sort of).
My home is in Canton, located in the northeast part of the state of Ohio, and the city of Canton is also known as the home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
My 870 is a 2013 vintage factory produced tactical version that came with the ghost ring sight set, long magazine tube, matt finish, ect..
I performed some standard upgrades including non-MIM extractor, magazine spring and S.S. mag follower, along with some of the other popular mods. like the Blackhawk! Knoxx folding stock & foregrip, Elzetta light mount and a 4Sevens Maelstrom MMS light. I'm racking my brain trying to remember what else.
Glad to have joined the group. My son and I hope that the Ukraine are able to remain free & united!
