Remington 700 history
In 1962, Remington Arms began manufacturing their bolt-action rifle series known as the Remington 700. Each rifle of this series uses a similar centerfire bolt action function. Depending on the caliber of the rifle, its internal magazine will usually have a capacity of either 3 rounds, 4 rounds, or 5 rounds. Some versions even have a floor plate (BDL version) which allows you to unload the ammunition from the bottom by a hinged door. If there is no floor plate installed (BDL version), then it is considered a “blind” unloading. You can turn an ADL into a BDL with a floor plate kit and a stock.
When you place your order for the rifle, you can have a detachable box magazine included with it. There are a variety of different assembly options available when you purchase the Remington 700 model. These differences pertain to its stock, caliber configuration, and barrel type. The rifle model is an expansion of the Remington 722 and Remington 721 models. These were first sold to the public in 1948.
This is one of the best bolt-action rifles ever. It is made in the United States with great pride. The Remington 700 models have been the most popular bolt-action rifles for more than 50 years. No other bolt-action rifle has generated more sales than the 700 series.
The receiver of the Model 700 has 3 steel rings which are quite known for their strength. It also includes a hammer forged barrel. This combination of components makes the Model 700 a superior bolt-action rifle amongst all the rest. This is the reason why elite snipers in the military choose to use the Model 700. It provides the kind of precision needed in a tactical operation. But even if you’re just hunting game in the woods, you can still take advantage of the accuracy that this weapon provides.
blgoode has posted very interesting information and photos of his Remington 870 project on Remington 870 Forum:
Snagged an older 870 Express that I wanted to set up as a home use gun. This gun has the aluminum trigger guard, upgraded follower, non MIM Extractor and doesn’t have the dimples in the magazine tube.
First I ordered an 18.5″ IC Barrel.
Length of pull is too long for me to comfortably shoulder so it’s time to chop.
Sand down the recoil buffer:
Try and get the stock and 870 police wood forend to match:
Install new wood Cobb forend
Done!!!
37.5″ overall
12.75″ length of pull

This is step by step instruction on how to paint your Remington 870 using Gun Kote:
Proper Length of Pull is critical for comfortable use of your shotgun.
Specifications and Description
• Allows you to adjust to three different lengths
• Screws and spacers are included
Times when barrel clamps were ugly are gone. When I saw the new sling mount by Magpul I thought that it is made of plastic because design was extremely good. Magpul forward sling mount for Remington 870 looks great and made of metal!
Uncle Mike’s Quick Detachable Remington 870/870 Youth 12-Gauge External Ratchet Cap Set Sling Swivels replaces the cap that holds the barrel to the forearm and it has the wood screw for the butt if you do not already have a swivel attached. The installation in most cases, takes just a few minutes.
