The 12-gauge, 3" Magnum receiver carries the M suffix associated with magnum configuration, and the T-prefix indicates 1974–1977 production. It is a steel receiver finished in matte light gray and configured with a cross-bolt safety and a 2+1 capacity. The pump-action system is the proven 870 pattern.
The 24" Hastings Paradox barrel is marked "Made in France" and "Special Steel 12 Gauge Shells 3"." It is chambered for 3" shells and features a raised matted rib with rifle sights: a ramped front bead and an adjustable rear open sight. The Paradox rifled design is paired with the ribbed profile to support precise sighting.
Wingmaster walnut furniture includes a glossy walnut stock and matching walnut forend with pressed checkering. The stock is set up with a ventilated recoil pad and dual white-line spacers, plus a sling swivel stud at the toe. Bird and game-scene motifs at the wrist add a classic Wingmaster touch. Length of pull measures 14.5".
A receiver-mounted saddle-style base with rings is installed, offering a solid platform for mounting an optic of your choice. The setup complements the rifle-sight configuration on the Hastings barrel.
Made in the USA, this Wingmaster Magnum blends period-correct 1970s production details with a French-made Hastings Paradox barrel, creating a capable and distinctive configuration for the Remington 870 platform.
