The Express Magnum steel receiver wears the matte/low-luster Express finish and carries the R.E.P. oval proof mark. The serial suffix M indicates a 12-gauge Magnum receiver. The action is the proven pump design in the 870 family.
A key feature of this configuration is the non-original 30 in MOD. TRAP fixed-choke barrel with a ventilated rib and polished blue finish. The barrel is stamped 12 GA FOR 2 3/4 OR SHORTER SHELLS, which governs safe shell length for use with this setup.
Sighting is enhanced by a receiver-mounted Scattergun Technologies ghost-ring rear sight and a clip-on fiber-optic front unit on the rib. The small front bead remains in place, giving multiple reference points on the ventilated rib.
The hardwood stock and forend include pressed checkering for grip and a black recoil pad. Length of pull measures 14.0 in, providing a straightforward fit for many shooters.
Capacity is 2+1. While the receiver is a Magnum pattern, use is limited to 2 3/4 in shells per the current barrel’s chamber marking. The barrel is not original to the receiver.
