What’s Included
- Remington Model 870 Express Home Defense Hardwood 12 Gauge shotgun
At the heart of this shotgun is Remington’s forged and milled carbon-steel receiver, paired with twin action bars for the smooth pump stroke that made the 870 a standard in American law enforcement and home protection.
The 18.5-inch smoothbore barrel carries a fixed Cylinder choke that patterns buckshot efficiently while keeping slug impact dependable at typical defensive distances. A single silver bead front sight promotes fast target acquisition without snagging on gear.
Hardwood furniture sets this Home Defense variant apart from polymer-stocked counterparts. The dark satin-stained stock and matching slide-handle feature pressed checkering for grip, sling swivel studs for easy carry, and a Remington-logo recoil pad that tames 12-gauge kick.
With a 4+1 tubular magazine, shooters can load standard 2 3/4-inch shells or step up to 3-inch magnums for added payload. The gun’s roll-mark serial style predates RemArms’ newer QR-code system, keeping the classic appearance collectors appreciate.
