What’s Included
Built on a steel receiver with twin action bars, this pre-1968 Wingmaster shows the features that made the 870 a benchmark in pump-action shotguns. The receiver carries correct Remington, Wingmaster, and Model 870 rollmarks, and the serial number bears the W suffix associated with 16 gauge production in this era.
The 20.5 inch smoothbore barrel uses a Cyl Bore choke and is rollmarked '16 GA. FOR 2 3/4 OR SHORTER SHELLS.' It is a 2 3/4 inch chamber configuration, and a brass bead front sight provides a simple, time-proven aiming reference.
Walnut furniture includes a checkered buttstock and fore-end, paired with a Remington-branded ventilated recoil pad. The length of pull measures 13.75 inches, and sling swivel studs are installed front and rear for convenient carry options.
The standard-length magazine tube is described as plugged to a 2+1 capacity, and the shotgun retains the cross-bolt safety familiar to 870 users.
