Remington Model 870 Wingmaster 12 Gauge Pump-Action Shotgun, 20" Cylinder-Bore Riot Barrel
This early-1960s Remington 870 Wingmaster pairs the model’s famed smooth action with a factory 20-inch cylinder-bore barrel, creating a compact, fast-handling defensive or police configuration. High-polish bluing, matching walnut furniture, and the “V” serial suffix mark it as a pre-1973 standard-frame gun, giving collectors and shooters a classic example of the Wingmaster line.

What’s Included
- Remington Model 870 Wingmaster 12 Gauge pump-action shotgun
The Wingmaster series is known for its dual action bars and smooth cycling, and this example preserves those features in a streamlined riot configuration. The 20-inch plain barrel uses a cylinder bore for uniform patterns with buckshot or slugs, and the single brass bead keeps sighting simple and quick.
Walnut stock and grooved fore-end retain the classic look and feel, while a steel butt-plate caps the 13.75-inch length of pull. The high-polish blued finish, typical of 1960s production, adds a rich appearance that contrasts nicely with the warm walnut.
