Don't do it! This is a job for an advanced gunsmith only. All parts are hand fit and under spring tension. These old Remington shotguns are like a Chinese puzzle. Special tools are also needed.
Made by Remington in 1985 &1986; 28" or 30" vented rib barrel with various chokes; basicly same gun as the 870 Express model; most if not all 870 parts are interchangable. Should probably hold value comparable to the Remington 870 Express model which retails close to $400.00 after taxes.
