Key Features
Construction & Materials
The 870 Field features a blued steel receiver, precision-machined for structural integrity and consistent component fit. The barrel, also blued, is constructed to withstand the pressures of standard 12 Gauge loads up to 3 inches. Its hardwood stock and fore-end provide a secure grip and contribute to the shotgun’s overall durability and classic aesthetic, resisting wear through extensive use. All primary components are designed for effective resistance to environmental factors encountered in field operations.

The Remington 870’s operational mechanism incorporates twin action bars, designed to facilitate smooth and non-binding cycling of ammunition. This design mitigates common pump-action failures, ensuring reliable feeding and ejection sequences. The 3-inch chamber enhances ammunition versatility, accommodating a broad spectrum of 12 Gauge shotshells, from light field loads to heavier magnum options, thereby optimizing adaptability for different scenarios. Its mechanical simplicity contributes to ease of maintenance and long-term operational consistency.
