The Carlson’s Remington 870 Field barrel (Carlson’s part no. 87002) is a 26-inch, 12 gauge, 3-inch chambered vent-rib barrel built as a direct replacement for the standard Remington 870 Field, though it will not fit the Remington Tactical 870. Carlson’s machines it from certified ordnance-grade 4140 steel with a chrome-lined bore and finishes it in blued matte. A red fluorescent front sight and a brass center bead give a fast sight picture in the field. It ships with a Modified choke tube and is threaded for the Remington choke system, so it is ready to hunt right out of the box. For an 870 owner who wants a fresh field barrel from Carlson’s Choke Tubes, this is a straightforward swap.

Key Specifications

• The gauge is 12 gauge, the most common shotgun bore, with the widest ammunition selection on the shelf.
• Barrel length is 26 inches, a field length that swings smoothly on upland birds and clays.
• The chamber takes 3-inch shells, so it handles both 2-3/4-inch and 3-inch loads.
• The top of the barrel carries a ventilated rib, which cuts heat shimmer and helps the eye line up with the target.
• A Modified choke tube is included, a middle-of-the-road constriction that suits general field use.
• The barrel is threaded for the Remington choke system, so other Remington-pattern choke tubes screw in.
• The finish is blued matte, a low-glare surface that keeps reflections down in the field.
• The barrel is machined from certified ordnance-grade 4140 steel with a chrome-lined bore for durability and easy cleaning.
• The sights are a red fluorescent front sight with a brass center bead, which gives a quick two-point sight picture.
• The barrel fits the standard Remington 870 Field and does not fit the Remington Tactical 870.
