Remington Model 870 Wingmaster

History of the Remington Model 870 Wingmaster

The Remington Model 870 "Wingmaster" is a variant of the famous (and best-selling) Remington M870 series pump-action shotgun with roots dating back to its 1951 release. The Wingmaster received a walnut stock and blued steel receiver, which was originally sold with a fixed choke. Products include 12, 16, and 20 gauge forms that have since been widely used as sporting/hunting weapons, home defense systems, military firearms, and police service shotguns.

The Wingmaster houses a 5-round tubular magazine under the barrel and a manual pump action system (with a push-button safety lock on the rear of the trigger guard) for managing ammunition supply and reloading.

The gun underwent a design overhaul in 1986 and continued mass production, although some brands in the series were discontinued.

Approximately 10,000,000 Remington 870 Series shotguns have been produced since 1951, proving the line is reliable, durable and effective in whatever role it is used.
