Any body own a Remington 870 Express 18" barrel
- Thread starter accushoot
- Start date
I have one. Bought it with the +2 extension on it. Had problems with the action locking up but it's been taken care of. There seems to be a problem with the newer 870's locking up like this. The older expresses were fine. I now use that action with a 28" barrel and the +5 extension for IPSC.

Remington 870
.... My 870 is one of the "Deer Hunter" versions with the factory rifle type sights. Added a magazine extension and sling swivels. Replaced the factory "safety" with a lager one, and added a bright orange magazine follower. Action is smooth as snot, very reliable and the 12 ga. is tough to argue with, in a "social setting" ! ...... David K.

I got my stock, Knoxx Compstock w/hogue foregrip from a CGN sponsor too!
Check out Questar in the header, Mark is great to deal with.
The Compstock is real easy to install as well, hardest part was figuring out what to use on the notched locking nut to remove it (did not have the correct tool, so used the claws of a hammer and it fit perfectly).
You will love the 870, just watch out for the cheapy ammo (Wally World bargain stuff), does not like it and binds.

any 870 is good , but the newer express guns are getting cheper made by the year.
i would buy a marine mag if the finnish is not an issue.
it about the best made 870 you can get.
if you want a tac/ defencive shotgun tou must have a side saddle good iron sites (wilson combat) a single point sling atachment from S&J Hardware aka badboybeeson
and a single point sling from one shot tac aka farmboy.
This is basic kit i would have for your shotgun.
I,ve built lots of combat shotguns over the years, as have others and the 870 is the best gun to do this with.
