Remington 870 Express Synthetic 12 Gauge Pump-Action, 18.5 Inch Barrel, Fixed C (Cylinder) Choke, Matte Black
This Remington Model 870 Express Synthetic is a clean, as-new 12 gauge with the practical 18.5 inch barrel and a fixed C (cylinder) choke. It is chambered for both 2 3/4 and 3 inch shells and features a durable matte black finish, twin action bars, and black synthetic furniture. Made in the United States with an Ilion, NY barrel address, it includes a standard-length 5-round magazine tube with a knurled cap and a single bead front sight on a small ramp.
The milled steel receiver wears a matte black finish and is marked with a serial number accompanied by a 2D matrix code. The polymer trigger guard/housing keeps weight down while maintaining the rugged 870 design. Controls are straightforward, including a cross-bolt safety.
The black synthetic buttstock includes a molded "R" grip cap and a recoil pad, paired with a ribbed synthetic fore-end for a solid grasp while cycling. Length of pull measures 13.75 inches, making the gun quick to shoulder and easy to run.
The 18.5 inch barrel pairs its fixed C (cylinder) choke with a simple bead sighting setup for fast alignment. The standard magazine tube is capped with a knurled end cap, with no extension installed, giving this 870 a streamlined, ready-to-use configuration.
