Built on a blued steel receiver with the "V" suffix, this Model 870 is chambered for 2 3/4-inch shells and configured with a 4+1 capacity. It uses a cross-bolt safety and the proven pump-action layout Remington is known for, manufactured in the United States.
The 26-inch steel barrel is the plain (non-vent-rib) style with a fixed choke suited to field use. A single front bead provides a straightforward sight picture. The barrel is rollmarked "PATENT NO. 2,493,014 · OTHERS PENDING," adding a period-correct detail to the assembly.
Furniture consists of an uncheckered wood stock with a Remington-marked serrated buttplate and an early corncob-style wooden fore-end. Length of pull measures 13.75 inches, offering a traditional fit and handling profile.
Mechanically, this example shows the solid (non–Flex-Tab) carrier, a feature associated with earlier 870 patterns. The bore is described as clean with a mirror finish, aligning with the shotgun’s very good overall presentation.
