*SOLD* Remington 870 Wingmaster 12ga Blue 26" *TRIED & TRUE AMERICAN PUMP SHOTGUN*
Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Remington 870 Wingmaster is an iconic shotgun that has been a cornerstone of American gunmaking for over 70 years. Introduced in 1950 as a successor to the Remington Model 31, the 870 Wingmaster quickly became renowned for its reliability, craftsmanship, and smooth pump action. Designed by L. Ray Critendon, Phillip Haskell, Ellis Hailston, and G.E. Pinckney, it gained widespread popularity for its solid construction and affordability. With over 11 million units sold, it remains one of the best-selling shotguns of all time, trusted by law enforcement, military personnel, hunters, and shooting enthusiasts alike.
Over the decades, the 870 Wingmaster has evolved, with various modifications introduced to meet changing needs. In the 1960s, Remington introduced the Express variant, a more affordable version featuring a matte finish and hardwood stock. Additionally, the Magnum version was launched, extending the shotgun's versatility. Despite these updates, the Wingmaster model has always been distinguished by its high-polish blued finish, elegant walnut stock, and superior fit and finish, maintaining its reputation for craftsmanship. The core design, however, has remained remarkably consistent, demonstrating the enduring quality and robustness of the original model. This blend of durability, performance, and tradition has solidified the Remington 870 Wingmaster as a beloved and timeless firearm for multiple generations of shooters.
