I have a remington 870 and i noticed a star on the barrel, what is that for....i got it in a trade so im not sure which model it is

 

[tCan]

How big is it, where is it located and is there any text with it?

 

[ineverFTF]

Its not new but still






We need pitchas!!!

 

[ineverFTF]

The model is wingmaster or express or something similar, the name is on the side of the receiver.

As far as i know it's nothing significant.
Pm c3 or Bkt they can tell you more

 

[dragunovsks]

Probably just a proof mark, mine has it too.

 

[tCan]

Mine has several asterisks followed by 12 Ga 2 3/4 and 3". So similar... Probably just keeps track of generation. when it came off the line and such.

[tCan]

Yeah, I have an 870 Express Magnum.

 

[Ultimate_sig]

Yeah, I have an 870 Express Magnum.

Whats the diffrence

 

[oli700]

The asterisks designate choke type and the star has something to do with the chamber or head space......IIRC, might be wrong on the star

 

[USEBOTHHANDS]

is the barrel equipped with a "REM-choke" system?

the older wingmasters and expresses didn't utilize the REM-choke system, but yours looks like a newer model. in order to change out the choke(s) you had to buy a new barrel with a built-in choke of your choice.

that's what that barrel looks like to me.

i've never seen a newer 870 without a vent-rib. it looks like it might possibly be a replacement barrel, or even a buckshot barrel................IDK.

You can always call the company. I've had good luck in the past with knowledgeable and eager reps.
