The receiver is roll-marked "Sportsman 12 Pump MAGNUM," and the barrel text authorizes the use of both 2-3/4 in and 3 in shells. Capacity is 4+1. A REP-in-oval proof mark appears on the barrel extension, confirming Remington factory proof.
The vent-rib barrel is paired with a fixed Full choke for tight patterns. Barrel length is listed as 28 in in the supplied data. The original carton label indicates "30 in VR Full"; this description reflects the 28 in figure provided.
Hardwood furniture includes a pistol-grip buttstock and a beavertail forend with checkering for a secure hold. A ventilated recoil pad and a 14.0 in length of pull support comfortable shooting. Controls include a cross-bolt safety.
The shotgun wears a blued finish on the receiver and barrel. Made in the United States during the 1980s Sportsman series run, it represents the magnum variant that came just before the 870 Express era, and it comes complete with box and papers.
