Introducing the Remington Model 870-LW Wingmaster, an iconic piece of American firearm history. This pump-action shotgun is in fair condition, showing signs of use and handling, but with its excellent bore condition and good working order, it's still a prime choice for hunters, sport shooters, and collectors alike. The sale includes the shotgun itself, complete with a glossy checkered Fleur-De-Lis walnut wood stock with black Remington logo pistol grip cap and a black wood buttplate.
Born in October 1990, this Remington Model 870-LW Wingmaster is a testament to the advanced technology of its time. The "LW" stands for "Light Weight", making this submodel a go-to choice for those seeking less recoil and easy handling. The 410 Gauge caliber is a rare find compared to the more common 12 and 20-gauge versions, adding to its appeal for collectors. It boasts a blued finish, which not only enhances the aesthetic quality but also protects against rust.
The shotgun's pump-action mechanism allows for quick follow-up shots and reliable performance under various environmental conditions. It has a 4+1 capacity, offering ample rounds for most applications. Its front fixed steel bead sight/optic, 3" chamber, full fixed chokes, and 25" vent rib barrel round out its impressive features. However, it's worth noting that the wood stock has several scratches and dents, and the forend has a large chip in wood. There is also minor finish wear on the receiver, magazine tube, and barrel.
Yet, this doesn't detract from its overall vintage charm and potential as an investment piece.
Overall, the Remington Model 870-LW Wingmaster is more than just a shotgun; it's a piece of American firearm history. It offers a perfect blend of power, reliability, and vintage aesthetics, making it a must-have for any serious firearm enthusiast or collector.
