All of the parts are marked with Remington name or logo. It does not have smooth polished steel on the receiver. The serial number on the receiver is CC92294C. The left side of the receiver closest to the stock has the serial number. The left side of the receiver closest to the barrel says Remington 870. There is an F stamped into the bottom of the barrel close to the receiver. 2 3/4” and 3”*** (top line) 3 1/2” only with Super Mag receiver (bottom line) on the left, I do not see a barrel code anywhere. The only barrel markings are the traditional Remington Arms Company Ilions, NY on the right and ***(star) 12 GA.


I recently purchased a used 870 12 ga with a 26” barrel.
