Remington Model 870 Wingmaster Magnum 12 Ga Pump Shotgun, 21-Inch Cylinder Bore, 2 ¾-Inch Chamber
This late-1970s Remington Model 870 Wingmaster Magnum pairs the platform’s famously smooth dual-action bars with deluxe gloss-walnut furniture and a high-polish blued finish. The factory Magnum receiver (serial suffix “M”) is rated for 3-inch shells, yet this example carries a 2 ¾-inch chamber and a 21-inch plain barrel that has been professionally cut to a cylinder bore, giving the shooter a fast-handling upland or defensive setup.
Condition
Overall Condition: Good condition, showing some signs of prior use and handling.
Bore Condition: Excellent – Clean, mirror finish, no signs of wear.
Specific Condition Notes: The barrel has been shortened to 21 inches, removing the original Full choke marking and providing a true cylinder bore. External metal shows light handling marks consistent with regular use.
What’s Included
- Remington Model 870 Wingmaster Magnum 12 Ga shotgun
The 21-inch barrel keeps overall length manageable without sacrificing balance, making this Wingmaster quick to mount in tight cover or home-defense scenarios. A single steel front bead offers a clear reference point while the plain barrel remains uncluttered.
Gloss-finished walnut stocks feature cut fleur-de-lis checkering for a secure grip and classic appearance. The ventilated recoil pad with white-line spacer completes the period-correct look while softening felt recoil.
High-polish blued steel on the receiver and barrel reflects the Wingmaster’s premium trim level within the 870 line. The Magnum-marked receiver adds extra strength and versatility, even though this particular barrel is chambered for 2 ¾-inch shells.
Dual action bars, a hallmark of the Model 870 design, ensure smooth, positive cycling. Capacity is 2+1 with the factory-length magazine tube, keeping the package light and easy to maneuver.
