What’s Included
- Remington 870 Express Magnum Youth/Compact 20 Gauge pump-action shotgun
The Youth/Compact configuration centers on a 13 in length of pull, straight-comb wood stock with pressed diamond checkering and a Remington-marked hard buttplate. This setup offers a shorter reach while retaining the solid, traditional feel of wood furniture and a matching wood beavertail forend.
The 21 in carbon-steel barrel uses a vent rib and a single bead front sight for a clear sighting plane. It is threaded for the Rem Choke screw-in system, adding versatility for different shot patterns, and is paired with a 3 in magnum chamber for a wide range of 20 gauge loads.
Core 870 features include dual-action bars for smooth cycling, a right-side ejection port, and a knurled magazine cap. Capacity is 4+1 with the tubular magazine. The steel receiver and matte blued finish match the barrel’s matte blued exterior for a uniform, utilitarian profile.
Factory markings and proofs include the receiver legend 'Remington 870 EXPRESS MAGNUM,' the Remington 'REP' proof, and barrel date codes. The 'U' serial suffix indicates a 20-gauge receiver. This shotgun was manufactured in the United States.
