Frequently Asked Questions
Remington 870 shotgun

Which Remington 870 model is best?

Best choice depends on your needs. The Express is the budget option with a matte finish. The Wingmaster has a polished receiver and better wood, preferred by bird hunters. The Fieldmaster is a distinct model in the lineup. All are 12-gauge pumps averaging around $500, ranging $92–$1,344 across 55 variants.

How much is a brand new 870 shotgun?

New Remington 870 shotguns range from around $389 to over $1,000 depending on the variant. The Express Tactical runs over $800, while premium versions like the Wingmaster can exceed $1,100. Prices vary by retailer and configuration.

What is the difference between a Remington 870 and 870 Express?

The 870 Express is a budget variant with a matte finish and MIM extractor. The 870 Wingmaster features a polished receiver, better wood furniture, and superior internal finishing. Both are reliable pump-action shotguns; the Express suits budget-conscious buyers while the Wingmaster appeals to those wanting higher fit and finish.

What are common 870 Express problems?

Common 870 Express issues include failure to extract, especially with low brass ammo, due to a rough chamber that grabs expanded shells. Rust can occur from salts in plastic shell casings. Ejectors and ejector springs occasionally break. Polishing the chamber with a brass brush often resolves extraction problems.

Can I shoot slugs in a Remington 870 Express?

Yes, the 870 Express can shoot slugs safely. Use Foster-style or Brenneke slugs in the smoothbore barrel. Avoid sabot slugs, which require a rifled barrel for accuracy. A cylinder or improved cylinder choke works best, though slugs can be fired through tighter chokes without damaging the barrel.

Does Remington make an 870 20 gauge?

Yes, Remington makes the 870 in 20 gauge. The Model 870 is available in multiple gauges, including 12 gauge, 20 gauge, and .410 bore, with various configurations such as field, tactical, and youth models offered in 20 gauge.

How do you tell how old a Remington 870 is?

Check the two-letter or three-letter code stamped on the left side of the barrel near the chamber. The first letter indicates the month; the remaining one or two letters indicate the year. Many online guides provide decoding charts for these letter combinations.

What barrels are compatible with the Remington 870?

All Remington 870 barrels interchange across 870 receivers. Standard barrels handle 2.75" and 3" shells; Supermag receivers accept 3.5" shells with compatible barrels. Verify your receiver type and desired shell length before purchasing a replacement barrel.
