The 28 inch vent-rib barrel with a matted rib and single front bead provides a clean sight picture, while the fixed Modified choke offers a proven field constriction. The standard 4+1 tubular magazine and side ejection align with the classic 870 Wingmaster layout.
Furniture is gloss walnut with fleur-de-lis impressed checkering on the long field forend and pistol-grip stock. White-line spacers, a black grip cap with bird medallion, and a Remington-branded ventilated recoil pad complete the period-correct look. Length of pull measures 14.0 inches.
The steel receiver and barrel wear a high-polish blued finish that complements the premium Wingmaster trim. A knurled field-type magazine cap adds practical handling at the muzzle end.
Markings include the oval "REP" Remington proof, a triangular magnetic-particle inspection stamp, and small inspector letters. The barrel is rollmarked "Made in U.S.A., Ilion, N.Y." The receiver’s "V" suffix denotes the 12-gauge 2 3/4 inch configuration.
