Our Assessment: The Remington 870LW in .410 bore is a rare and intriguing iteration of the time-honored Remington 870 series, particularly tailored for those who appreciate a lighter, more manageable firearm. Crafted with an aluminum alloy receiver, this shotgun is distinctly lighter than its standard steel counterparts, making it more comfortable for prolonged carry in the field. Although the Remington 870 series is more commonly encountered in 12 or 20 gauge, the .410 bore variant provides a unique shooting experience, offering less recoil and a tighter shot pattern.
Functionally, the 870LW in .410 maintains the series’ twin action bars, ensuring reliable pump-action cycling. The shotgun’s smaller bore size is ideal for shooting small game or for introducing new shooters to shotgun sports, as the .410 bore’s reduced recoil makes for a less intimidating experience. The shotgun is compatible with a variety of Remington’s aftermarket barrels and accessories, granting users the flexibility to customize their firearm for specific needs, from hunting to home defense.
In essence, the Remington 870LW in .410 bore is a versatile, user-friendly shotgun that holds a special place in the 870 lineage. Its lighter weight and reduced recoil make it an attractive option for specific hunting applications or as an entry-level shotgun for new enthusiasts.
