Remington Model 870 Express Youth 20 Ga Pump Shotgun, 21" Vent-Rib, 3" Chamber, Rem-Choke, 2+1
The Model 870 Express Youth is Remington’s downsized, 20-gauge version of its legendary pump shotgun. Built on a compact steel receiver with a 13-inch length of pull, this gun balances easy handling with the rugged reliability the 870 line is known for. A 21-inch vent-rib barrel, interchangeable Rem-Choke system, and 2 ¾" or 3" chamber make it a flexible choice for young shooters, smaller-statured adults, or anyone who wants a lighter, quick-moving field gun.
Condition
Overall Condition: Very good condition, showing only light, superficial signs of prior handling or use.
Bore Condition: Very good – Bright and smooth with sharp rifling; light surface fouling is present but no pitting.
Specific Condition Notes: Exterior metal shows minor edge wear on high points consistent with careful field carry. Bore exhibits a small amount of residue that should clean up easily with routine maintenance.

- Limbsaver slip-on recoil pad
- Remington Model 870 & 870 Super Magnum owner’s manual
This Express Youth variant features a solid-steel 20-gauge receiver scaled specifically for the smaller shell. Twin action bars deliver the smooth, bind-free cycling that has defined the 870 since 1950.
The 21" barrel wears a ventilated rib for fast target acquisition and accepts threaded Rem-Choke tubes; the included Modified (M) choke offers a versatile pattern for upland birds, clays, or general field work.
A 2 ¾" or 3" chamber broadens ammunition options, while the factory magazine plug limits capacity to 2+1—ideal for many hunting regulations and easily removed if a higher capacity is desired where legal.
The hardwood laminate stock and corn-cob fore-end provide durability with a walnut-stained finish and machine checkering for a secure grip. A cross-bolt safety sits just behind the trigger guard for intuitive operation.
At 13", the length of pull suits youth shooters or anyone needing a shorter stock, yet the robust steel construction and matte phosphate finish ensure long service life.
