Remington Model 870 Wingmaster – Custom Riot Gun – 12 Gauge – 18.5” Barrel – Extended Magazine

Offered here is a customized Remington Model 870 Wingmaster 12-gauge pump-action shotgun configured in a traditional riot-gun style.

Originally manufactured as a full-length Wingmaster sporting shotgun, this example has been modified with an 18.5-inch barrel, rifle-style sights, and a +4 magazine tube extension.

The Remington Model 870 was introduced in 1950 and became one of the most successful pump-action shotgun designs in American firearms history. The Wingmaster series is particularly well regarded for its steel receiver, polished finish, and traditional walnut furniture.

This example retains its attractive Wingmaster walnut stock and forearm, both featuring decorative checkering and a warm reddish-brown finish. The stock is fitted with a ventilated recoil pad.

The shotgun features a blued steel receiver with the classic Wingmaster profile. The barrel has been shortened to approximately 18.5 inches and fitted with rifle-style sights. A magazine tube extension provides additional capacity beyond the original sporting configuration.

The left side of the receiver exhibits areas of old surface rust and finish deterioration that have been sealed to help prevent further corrosion. These areas remain visible, particularly around the receiver markings and lower edges. The remaining metal surfaces display a combination of retained finish and normal handling marks.

The walnut furniture presents well overall, with attractive grain, defined checkering, and minor handling wear consistent with use.

This is a custom-modified Wingmaster rather than an original factory riot or police configuration.

Historical Background
