The interchangeable screw-in choke element is fitted to the compensator body, adding versatility to the gun’s configuration while retaining a period-correct appearance.
Furniture is classic walnut: a checkered pistol-grip stock and matching forend, a grip-cap medallion, game-bird motifs, a white-line spacer, and a ventilated recoil pad. Length of pull is 13.5 inches. The trigger guard is alloy, and the gun uses the Model 870’s dual action bars for smooth cycling.
Chambered in 20 gauge with a 3-inch chamber and a 4+1 capacity, this Wingmaster Magnum combines a blued steel receiver with traditional field features. The receiver serial suffix "X" indicates it belongs to the early 20-gauge receiver family. Made in the United States.
