Sorry, that wasn't the intent.
The Express is basically the same gun as the more expensive Wingmaster and Police.
It's forged and milled steel receiver comes off the same forge as all other Remington guns.
It has basically the same heavy-duty internal parts and should last just as long as any other 870, which is about forever and two days.
Where Remington made the cuts was in the elimination of as much hand labor as possible, and in reducing the amount of polishing done internally and externally.
On the Express you'll see machine marks and some burrs, which you won't see on the Wingmaster or Police.
The Express was intended to be the rock bottom gun Remington could build but still have the steel receiver, and uphold the Remington reputation for quality.
The Police gets a lot more hand labor and inspection to make sure some cop doesn't have a gun problem in some dark alley.
