The 28 inch barrel is rollmarked "16 GA. FOR 2 3/4 OR SHORTER SHELLS" and stamped "FULL," confirming its fixed FULL choke. The barrel is plain with a matted top and uses a single front bead for a clean sighting plane.
Wingmaster trim includes polished blued steel and walnut furniture with cut checkering. The stock has a pistol grip with a hard buttplate, and the length of pull measures 13.5 inches, offering a traditional field fit.
The steel receiver is marked "Remington Wingmaster MODEL 870" and operates on twin action bars with right-side ejection. A cross-bolt safety provides simple, familiar control. This configuration delivers the classic 870 handling and cycling characteristics.
