Remington crafted their standard, premium-grade stocks with a shorter length of pull, then fit them to some of the finest firearms, because young shooters are more likely to become stewards of the shooting sports if they start with a gun that fits properly. All compact firearms are equipped with the Adjustable Length of Pull System. Fit can be customized to youngsters as they grow, and adults requiring a shorter length of pull can tailor compact firearms to their specific needs. This 20-gauge model 870 Express Compact Jr has an 18" barrel and black synthetic stock with an adjustable comb.
