What's Included
- Remington Model 870 Express Synthetic 12 Gauge shotgun
The Express Synthetic configuration pairs a matte black steel receiver with black synthetic stock and forend for a straightforward, low-maintenance setup. The straight-comb stock provides a 13.5-inch length of pull, and the cross-bolt safety is positioned for familiar 870 operation.
The 28-inch vent-rib field barrel uses a single front bead for a clear sight picture. It is threaded for the RemChoke system, allowing the use of compatible, removable choke tubes as needed.
This receiver carries the M suffix, identifying it as a 12-gauge 3-inch Magnum receiver. The chamber accepts both 2 3/4-inch and 3-inch 12-gauge shells for flexibility with common field loads.
Functionally, the 870 action uses dual action bars for smooth cycling and has a standard 4+1 capacity. The magazine cap includes an integral front sling-swivel stud for attaching a sling.
