Remington 870 Barrels - Short Barrels, Slug Barrels & Other Shotgun Barrels — 10 products / 29 models — Page 1

The Remington 870 is a classic, recognizable shotgun that has been around for years, and there are many aftermarket parts for it that allow you to tune and customize the weapon to your exact needs. Investing in a new shotgun barrel is one of the most popular upgrades owners make, and for good reason. Whether you’re looking to switch from a 12 gauge to a 20 gauge, need a rifled barrel, or want to switch from deer hunting to turkey or waterfowl hunting, you will need a replacement barrel. Thankfully, swapping your Remington 870 barrel is pretty easy and relatively inexpensive, especially when you compare the cost to investing in an entirely new weapon. And the best part is, you don’t even need any gunsmithing experience to replace this shotgun part. If you’re curious about our Remington 870 barrels, here are answers to some common questions about them.

What Barrels Are Compatible with a Remington 870?

When looking to swap out your shotgun barrel on a Remington 870, you should only use barrels that are specifically made for this weapon. Even though some barrels might be similar, such as those for a Remington 870 Express, avoid using them unless they specifically say they work on the standard Remington 870 that you have. Of course, this also goes for avoiding barrels made for a Benelli, Mossberg, or Winchester shotgun, as they are entirely different.

What Is the Difference Between a Remington 870 and a Remington 870 Express?

If you’re buying a modern Remington 870 or Remington 870 Express, there aren’t many differences between the two shotguns. The main difference comes in the material that the receiver is made from. For example, the Express generally has a matte finish with a synthetic or hardwood stock and is usually the cheaper version. However, for older models of these shotguns, there is a larger difference. Some older 870 Express models have a 2.75-inch chamber, which means they don’t accept 3-inch shells.

Is the Remington 870 Discontinued?

While some people think the Remington 870 was completely discontinued, this is not the case. Instead, Remington stopped making the 870 Wingmaster and Express, and has shifted to a new line of 870 shotguns. These are known as the Remington 870 Field Master. They feature an improved finish and a drilled and tapped receiver, which allows you to easily mount a rifle scope or red dot sight to the shotgun. This makes it the perfect option for medium- to long-range shots when hunting.
