The 20" smoothbore barrel keeps this Model 870 Magnum quick-handling while remaining versatile for a broad range of 12-gauge loads. The barrel legend specifies use of 2 3/4" or 3" shells in Magnum receivers, aligning with its chambering.
Upgraded rifle-style sights include a ramped front blade and a Williams adjustable rear mounted to the receiver, with the receiver drilled and tapped for sight installation. This setup provides a clear, usable sight picture on a smoothbore configuration.
The extended magazine tube increases capacity to 7+1 and is secured by a barrel/magazine clamp that integrates a front sling swivel. A rear swivel on the stock pairs with the included leather sling for carry.
The shotgun retains a blued steel receiver with right-side ejection and a cross-bolt safety. The furniture combines a walnut stock with a pistol-grip profile and rubber recoil pad (14.0" LOP) and a Pachmayr synthetic checkered forend for a secure, durable grasp.
Manufactured in the USA in 1986, this example bears the Remington REP proof, a BG barrel date code, and a K inspector mark. It presents as a solid, serviceable 870 Magnum with useful, receiver-mounted sighting and increased on-board capacity.
