S&T ST870 Police Spring Shotgun (Full Metal, Silver, Real Wood, STSPG07SVS)
The S&T ST870 Police is a spring-powered pump-action shotgun in the style of the classic 870, with full-metal construction and a silver finish set off by real wood furniture (code STSPG07SVS). It is a simple, satisfying shotgun that works without batteries or gas, so it is always ready when you are.
S&T is a manufacturer known for good-value replicas across many patterns, and its ST870 range covers several versions of the 870, including standard, police and sawn-off styles. We also stock S&T’s black M870 spring shotgun for players who prefer a darker finish.
Build and finish
Full-metal construction, as named, gives the shotgun a solid, durable feel and a realistic weight. The silver finish gives a classic polished look that stands out from the usual black, and the real wood furniture adds warmth and character, making it as much a display piece as a field shotgun.
The 870 pattern is one of the most familiar shotgun designs in the world, and its straightforward controls make the ST870 easy to learn. Spring shotguns are also a sensible choice for newer players, as there is very little that can go wrong and nothing to run out of except BBs.
How it works
As a spring shotgun, the ST870 is cocked by working the pump, which compresses the spring; pulling the trigger releases it to fire. There is no battery to charge or gas to fill, and performance stays consistent in cold weather, which is a real advantage on winter games.
A UK retailer lists S&T’s ST870 sawn-off as single shot per pump with a 6.03mm tightbore barrel and TDC hop-up. Our listing does not state these details for this version, so please ask us if you need them.
Handling
Working the pump between shots encourages deliberate, accurate shooting, and the shotgun’s length and weight make it steady to aim. It suits CQB play, themed games and players who enjoy the challenge of a manual action. Because it needs no charging or filling, it also makes a handy back-up to keep in the car or kit bag for days when a main rifle lets you down.

Compatibility
Use good-quality seamless 6mm BBs; 0.20g or 0.25g is a sensible starting weight. Shells or magazines for spring shotguns are specific to each model, so please ask us before ordering spares for the ST870. Standard shotgun slings and shell holders suit this pattern.
Care and maintenance
Keep the shells or magazine and the loading area free from grit and mud, and wipe the shotgun over after each game. Run a cleaning rod through the barrels occasionally, and use only clean, high-quality seamless BBs, as a single damaged BB can jam a multi-shot system.
Work the pump smoothly through its full stroke rather than slamming it, and store the shotgun uncocked so the spring is not left compressed. Keep it somewhere cool and dry between games.
Wipe the real wood furniture dry after damp games, let it dry naturally away from direct heat, and use a little suitable stock oil now and then. A light wipe of a suitable protective oil on the metal parts after damp games helps keep the silver finish looking its best.
Who is it for?
The S&T ST870 Police suits players who want a reliable, no-fuss pump-action that works in any weather, collectors who appreciate a full-metal silver and wood shotgun, and anyone building a law-enforcement or classic loadout.
Please note: BBs are not listed as included. Always wear suitable eye protection, and full-face protection where your site requires it, when using or testing any airsoft replica.
