The Remington Model 870 is a legendary pump-action shotgun that has become one of the most popular and successful firearms ever produced. Introduced in 1950, it was designed to be a more modern, reliable, and affordable successor to the expensive-to-manufacture Model 31. Its robust construction and ease of maintenance quickly made it a favorite for sports shooting, hunting, and self-defense among the general public. Beyond civilian use, the 870 is widely utilized by law enforcement and military organizations across the globe. The shotgun reached massive commercial milestones, selling two million units by 1973 and surpassing three million by 1983 to become the best-selling shotgun in history. In 2009 Remington produced its ten millionth unit, spurred in part by the introduction of the budget-friendly Express model.

Some rust elemental wear and tear. Decorations in butt plate, stock, comb, grip, and forend all in great shape.
