- Remington Model 870 Wingmaster Magnum 20 Gauge shotgun
This heavy-frame 20-gauge 870 is built on the 12-gauge-size receiver, identified by the 'N' suffix. The receiver is rollmarked 'Remington MAGNUM Wingmaster MODEL 870' and carries a high-polish gloss blued finish that complements its period-correct configuration.
The 28" ventilated-rib barrel is a pre-RemChoke, fixed Full (F) choke tube. It is factory marked '20 GA. MAGNUM FOR 3 IN. SHELLS' and bears the Ilion, NY address. A single front bead provides a clean sight picture in keeping with the Wingmaster field profile.
Furniture is classic Wingmaster: gloss-finished checkered wood with pressed fleur-de-lis panels, a beavertail forend, and a ventilated recoil pad with a white-line spacer. Length of pull measures 14.0". The cross-bolt safety and smooth pump action round out its familiar handling.
The V-prefix places this shotgun within the 1978–1983 production era in the United States. Chambered for 3-inch 20-gauge shells, it retains its original fixed Full choke configuration and period features that define the Magnum Wingmaster series.
