Remington Model 870 Express Synthetic 16 Gauge Pump-Action Shotgun, 28" Vent Rib, Rem Choke, 4+1
This 16-gauge Remington Model 870 Express Synthetic pairs the legendary 870 action with a scaled small-frame receiver denoted by its “D1” serial prefix. Built in a limited run during the early 2000s, it features a 28-inch vent-rib barrel threaded for the versatile Rem Choke system, a matte black oxide finish, and rugged black synthetic furniture. Its combination of manageable weight, interchangeable chokes, and the hard-to-find 16-gauge chambering makes it a standout choice for hunters, shooters, and collectors who appreciate the niche appeal of a modern 16-gauge pump.

What’s Included
- Remington Model 870 Express Synthetic 16 Gauge pump-action shotgun
The scaled steel receiver keeps overall weight down while maintaining the 870’s well-known strength. Because the frame is purpose-built for 16 gauge, the gun balances naturally and handles quickly in the field.
The 28-inch vent-rib barrel is threaded for the Rem Choke system, allowing you to tailor shot patterns to game or target. A single brass bead provides a clean, uncomplicated sight picture.
Remington’s matte black oxide finish resists glare and corrosion, while the black polymer stock and fore-end offer weatherproof durability. Molded checkering on both grip areas supplies secure purchase even in wet conditions.
The action is the same dual-action-bar design that has made the 870 famous for reliability since 1950, and parts commonality with the broader 870 platform ensures easy maintenance and accessory support.
