Remington introduced the lower-priced Express line in 1987, and in 1992 expanded it to include a .410 Bore version, making this example an early representative of the small-bore 870 Express.

This example, serial number A412080H, is chambered for 3″ .410 shells and has a 25″ ventilated-rib barrel with fixed Full choke.
