- Remington Model 870 Wingmaster 12 Gauge pump-action shotgun
The 26 in barrel is plain (non-vent-rib) and rollmarked with Remington patent numbers. It is paired with a single front bead for a straightforward sight picture. The fixed Improved Cylinder choke and 2 3/4 in chamber make this configuration a practical, time-tested setup.
The steel receiver and barrel wear a polished blued finish, with right-side ejection. The receiver shows the V suffix, indicating a standard 12-gauge, 2 3/4 in receiver. Factory markings include the REP oval proof mark and inspection symbols.
Furniture is glossy walnut throughout, featuring a pistol-grip stock with cut and fleur-de-lis checkering. It includes a ventilated recoil pad with white-line spacers and an inlaid round flying-bird medallion flush into the underside of the wrist (no separate grip cap). Length of pull measures 14.0 in, complemented by a matching walnut fore-end.
Feeding is via a tubular magazine with a standard cap (no extension), listed at a 2+1 capacity. The action is the proven 870 pump, configured here with the Wingmaster’s polished fit and classic walnut-and-blue presentation.
Key setup details that matter: a 2 3/4 in chamber and a fixed Improved Cylinder choke, paired with a 26 in plain barrel and single bead sight—an efficient, clean configuration rooted in the Wingmaster lineage.
