Remington Model 870 Express 12 Gauge Pump-Action, 25.5 in Vent-Rib Barrel, 3 in Chamber, Matte Blued, IC Rem Choke Installed
This Remington Model 870 Express stands out as a classic, American-made 12 gauge pump with a 25.5-inch vent-rib barrel and a matte blued finish. It is chambered for 2 3/4 and 3 inch shells and uses the Rem Choke system, with an IC removable flush choke currently installed. The hardwood stock with pressed checkering, rubber recoil pad, and 14.0-inch length of pull round out a straightforward, field-ready configuration.
The steel receiver is rollmarked "Remington 870," and the carbon steel barrel is marked "REMINGTON ARMS COMPANY ILION, NY" and "12 GA 2 3/4 and 3" (3 1/2 only with Super Magnum receiver)." The vent rib features longitudinal lightening slots and a single front bead for a clean sight picture. A right-side ejection port, knurled magazine cap, and tubular magazine under the barrel underscore the 870’s practical, proven layout.
The barrel is threaded for Rem Choke tubes (Rem Choke thread pattern), and the included IC choke sits flush with the muzzle. The action includes a cross-bolt safety and an action bar lock ahead of the trigger guard. Capacity is 4+1 with 2 3/4 inch shells.
Made in the United States, this 870 Express uses a matte blued finish on the receiver and barrel for reduced glare. The hardwood stock provides a sure grip through pressed checkering, and the rubber recoil pad aids comfort at the shoulder.
