The trigger guard on my Remington 870 is plastic. Such a small part to be plastic.

Pretty sure there is no plastic on any of my shotguns but for sure there is none on my Beretta Silver Pigeon.

My Ithaca 37 made in the 50's has no plastic. I think the only plastic part in my 870 is the follower.

the A5 buttplates were made of ram horn.
so check yours...if it has a buttplate made of plastic...it doesnt count.

My Slam Fire 37 had the plastic buttplate. I swapped it out for the sunburst, very good idea.

Recently gave away to a fine young lad a L C Smith 20g SxS.

Well if you count the rubber butt pad on my 870 as plastic, I'm out.

Mine only has that plug for a week or 2 during gun season for white tails and turkey season. Rest of the year it's plug free.

And no, my 870 is wood stock, wood hand guard. No plastic accessories even, save for the clips that attach the sling to it. And it ain't even an old shotgun, it's maybe 9 or 10 years old. ;)

Got the brass bead at the end of the barrel. Steel follower. Never seen a plastic follower in an 870. :confused:

I have 2 Winchester 1200 pumps, one made in the mid-60's & the other in the early 70's. All steel/wood w/ rubber recoil pads.
