Remington 870 Wingmaster Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

WIngmaster is NOT the same basic gun as theExpress

Just understand that the 870 WIngmaster is a finely made pump gun. The Remington 870 Express is a very roughly made gun. While they have the same basic action, the Wingmaster is very very smooth, has a better stock fit for most, and is MUCH lighter as it

The greatest pump shotgun ever made

The Remington 870 Wingmaster is the greatest pump shotgun ever made. Rugged, reliable and beautiful. As a waterfowl gun it has no match, it keeps shooting when the others can't hang. Buy one, you'll be glad you did. Buy American, Buy Remington.

Good gun, but QC is lacking.

I purchased a new wingmaster a while ago. When I got it home I cleaned it and took it to the range. The gun would not easily eject rounds. Matter of fact, I had to hold the slide and bang the stock on the ground to get the round out of the chamber. Not so

Some Wingmaster Reviewers Very Confused

Please take note: Most of the negative reviews and negative statements posted here apply to the Remington EXPRESS shotgun or other Remington models. HOWEVER the EXPRESS is not the Remington WINGMASTER. The WINGMASTER is a flawless, seemingly indestructibl

Remington 870 Express 3"

I have heard recent bad reviews of the 870 Express, however I bought a black synthetic 870 in February 2014 and have had absolutely no problems with it. I have used mine for trapshooting and pheasant, grouse, duck and turkey hunting here in Montana and ha

870 not what it used to be

You will hear many folks refer to the remington 870 as the greatest shotgun ever made. And I would agree, only if referring to one built before 1990. Afterwards, the quality has really crumbled, and it keeps going down. I have had several friends buy one,

Excellent first shotgun*

My review gets a 5 star rating, but with an asterisk. I have experience with 870's and they have performed very well. I purchased the 870 Express with the 3" chamber, however it states "Express Magnum" on the receiver. Don't let this confus

Wonderful gun for beginners to experts

I bought the 870 supermag for duck hunting and it has been a beautiful gun to shoot. I only had problems the first time I took it out (Also the first time it was ever shot). It hung up on me once. I had to dis-assemble it in the field and put it back toge

Excellent Shotgun

I did a lot of research before purchasing this shotgun. I was looking for somethingthat I could mostly use for trap/skeet, as well as the occasional hunting trip.I also wanted to be able to easily put a slug barrel on it. I was lookingbetween an 870, a Wi

One of the best shotguns ever

I bought my shotgun a couple of weeks ago and love it. I have put many rounds through it not one problem cycling rounds. But I do have one complaint about the gun my barrel is hard to take off and I don't know why this is not my first shotgun so I know ho

Probably will return to buy another

I bought mine in 1982. Sold it in 1990. Wish I hadn't. After a long while away from the sport I am returning to buy another Wingmaster. I didn't realize it was such a great shotgun. You can't go wrong with it. Right now it's between this and a BPS

Amazing pump gun

I have a 20 Ga. express 3" mag.and I have harvested teal to geese with steel shot. Harvested turkeys and squirrels. I purchased a rifled barrel and I have harvested 4 deer already. It never jams just pump the gun hard and it's flawless. Watch when yo

Remington Express Super Magnum

I have shot my 870 for the past 10 years, needless to say my gun has functioned flawlessly. If you are looking for a gun that can do it all, then look no further. From the dove fields in early September, all the way to the spring turkey woods, this gun is

Poor quality

My family and I have all owned countless Remington shotguns over the years and I am terribly sad to admit that the quality of Remington shotguns has dropped so far, that I feel I owe it to you all to leave this review. I have always been a TRUE believer i

Remington 870 Express Magnum

I just got this gun last year. Used it for duck, goose, and pheasant. Unlike most or all 12 gauges in this price range, this gun is SOLID. My whole family uses the Remington 870's and they all love them. They're tough, reliable shotguns that will stand up

Wingmaster and Express should be rated separately"

My experience with the wingmaster is very good. Smooth cycle, nice fit and finish. My experience with the express is quiet the opposite. I bought a remington 870 express 12 gauge for turkey hunting and flat out could not get it to pattern. When I removed

Great Gun

Shoots great, can't go wrong with a Remington 870.

similar problems

i had similar problems with my 870 as alot of other people did, if i shoot low brass target loads they cycle through very well and no problems, but every other high brass shell will get stuck in the chamber, i clean my gun almost excessively, i treat all

Best Pump I've Shot

There is a reason why this gun has been around forever and sold millions. It's reliable and priced right.

Best shotgun I have

If you only buy 1 gun, this should be it!

The Rem 870 express was my first gun i ever owned. I love the versitility of this gun. I use it to hunt and for home defence. The amount of after market parts is a plus too. Fun and to shoot. reliable. comfortable.

Reliable

What can you say that hasn't already been said? There is a reason 10 million have been sold. It has never let me down and I don't baby it. Tear it down and clean it when your done and it will always take care of you.

Remington 870 Express

After my purchase of an 870 Shotgun two and a half years ago, I have yet to be disappointed. In short, this is the most reliable and most modifiable shotgun for the money on the planet.

34 Years of Faithful Service

I got my 870 Wingmaster in, September of 1978.I never have had a problem with my Wingmaster. No jams, no pump lock, just flawless! After a few times out with it, I sold off my other shot guns. The Walnut wood and blueing, still look new.There is only one

awesome

i have a 1966 remington 870 wingmaster, and it is as reliable as they come..never jams, always knocks down the birds. ALWAYS! my hunting partner shoots a 3.5 inch load out of a benelli super black eagle..and lets just say hes not the one to limit daily!!!

Super Mag Issues

Bought the super magnum as it seemed like a good overall shotgun that will shoot steel. Took it dove hunting and it would not eject shells. Cleaned and brushed the chamber and took it trap shooting and the same thing. I have to literally beat the stock on

Fabulous all-around pump shotgun

A Cabela's salesman recommended the 870 Express 20-gauge youth model as a general use and home defense shotgun that could be handled my my small-stature wife. She loves to shoot this gun, as do I. The 870 is extremely solid, functions flawlessly, operates

Workhorse

I have had my 870 pump for almost 10 years now. I have fired hundreds and hundreds of all types of ammo in all weather conditions as well.

870 Express

Just bought the 870 Express as my first shotgun. Couldn't be more pleased. The thing is built like a tank and points very well. If I had the money, I think I definitely would have gotten the Wingmaster. This is a gun that I would have no problem with taki

Awesome!

Have to admit I'm more a pistol guy, but I picked the 870 express as my first shotgun. And I was not disappointed! A great gun, fun to shoot!

awesome gun

My dad recently bought me an used Super Mag express as a "rainy day" trap gun. I have not had any problems with it. I think that the finish on this gun is great. there is only minor rusting caused by poor care from the previous owner. I have fou

Great shotgun

It's reliable and tough. Simple design makes it easy to clean and maintain. Lot's of optional parts available. SuperCell recoil pad works great for softening the blow of the 12 Ga. Reasonably priced and a much better choice than many in the same price ran

Pass it along

These guns are known for being handed down from generation to generation and keep on performing, there may be better shooting guns out there but not more durable and reasonably priced.

BEST STARTER SHOTGUN

I HAVE HAD MY 870 FOR 20 YEARS. I BOUGHT THIS 870 FOR MY SON FOR CHRISTMAS. HE IS IN ROTC AND THE NATIONAL GAURD. HE LOVES IT. PERFECT FIELD GUN FOR THE WATERFOWLING WE LOVE TO DO

Best Shotgun Ever Made

I bought the Remington 870 combo with both field and slug barrel over the summer of 2011. I have put hundreds of rounds through this gun and it has never failed. The gun is pretty accurate and in my opinion one of the best shotguns ever built. This gun ta

Remington 870 410GA &12 GA

I bought the 410 about 16 years ago and the 12 Ga about 5 years ago and love them both. Ive shot hundreds of rounds out of each and never had an issue with either. Consistant shots and they look great. I will be giving my son one day this 410 to learn on

Great firearm!

This shotgun is amazing. I have the 12 gauge model and I shoot 2 3/4 shells. I can go 50 for 50 shooting clays on most days. Good for a close quarters coyote gun too.

Get the wingmaster

I love my wingmaster. I had the usual pump lock ups, but way less than my friends with the express. That problem has not happened in years. I think it takes a few hundred rounds to break in.... maybe throwing some heavy 3 inchers in would speed it up? Als

Faithful

The gun has been faithful. Never let me down or had any problems with it. Good utility gun. Good price.

pink camo shotgun

My husband bought me this gun for Christmas last year and I love it. It shoots like a dream, fits my arm length which is shorter then the guys and the guys even think it's cool.

The best there is

Bought a 870 Express as my first shotgun and it has never failed me once. Fires every single time I pull the trigger without fail. There is a reason millions of hunters use this gun, the quality cannot be beat. Highly recommended

Well!

I am fan of this gun because of an older wingmaster i have. I bought a new one about a month or so ago, and went to take it appart before shooting it. It wouldnt go back together. I know a good deal about guns an have alot of experianceworking on them. Bu

Still a solid gun

I have an older 20 870express from my grandfather it works like a charm. So I decided to get the 12 and I do have to say that I had the same extracting problem for the first few boxes of mixed shot (buck,bird,slug). So i took the gun apart and cleaned and

Pink and camo

i bought this gun 2 years ago and have been happy with it other then the barrel doesnt like slugs very well and so now after figuring out why my shot wasnt consistant i have to get eaither a rifled choke or rifled barrel to be more consistant it shoots tu

bird beware

my dad has owned a 12ga 870 quite a while,it was usedto shot bbb shots and finely broke the slide, he still uses it a little. he may want a benelli, but try to guess what i want, that right, a remington 870.

New Realiable

just bought the gun a few days ago and am very impressed. would buy again. the only thing that i dont like is that the forearm wiggles.

best gun i ever used

The 870 wingmaster runs great never jams very smooth acton and never missfires the best gun ever it will last you forever very worth the money.

Best Gun on Earth

I received a Remington 870 Super Express Magnum as a Christmas present for Christmas 3 years ago.After 3 years of heavy duty,cold Idaho winters with lots of use still looks brand new.Great gun for either a starter or veteran waterfowl or upland hunter.Fir

870 20 Gauge

I bought an 870 20 gauge last year and I found it was a great gun for the price. Sure it gets a little rusty if you hunt while raining, but you just make sure you clean it then once you get back home and it's fine. Don't think it can't take down ducks jus

Great performance for the price!

I bought an 870 Express:laminate stock and it's a worker! The pricing was great and affordable.The forearm pump slides very easily but I recommend lubing up all moving parts to ensure maximum performance. I haven't dropped it yet(thankfully). I am going t

I have taken this gun through many hard conditions, shot all kinds of different loads through it, and skimped on my cleaning a little, but needless to say this gun is always accurate, smooth cycling, and downright deadly. My go to gun for all shotgun hunt

4th 870

Just recently purchased my 4th 870. Can't say enough good things about them. My dad has one from the early 60's and it still shoots true.

AWESOME

I have 3 of these guns now and none of them have ever had even the slightest hiccup even with 3 1/2 shells in the super mag. They work in the worst wheather and never rust. total iv had at least 2000 rounds through them most in hunting situations. Great g

Nice for the price

With rifled barrel my 12ga 870 is very accurate. I can shoot over 100 yards no problem. This thing is like a rifle. Some reviews say gun jams, but I have not had this happen. Tried all different kinds of ammo with no problem. I really like this shotgun an

Remington 870 Express Magnum

The Remington 870 is, in my opinion, without a doubt the top preforming pump-action shotgun available on the market to sportsmen today. I have had my 870 Express in 20 guage for over 8 years now, and have harvested more animals and busted more clay target

Best Pump Shotgun Ever Made

I have 3 870's. One 20 ga Wingmaster Lightweight Magnum from the early 80's, One 12 ga Wingmaster Magnum from the early 90's and one 12 ga Express Magnum from the early 2000's. I use them for dove, duck, goose, pheasant, grouse, and slug deer with an addi

Great Gun

A little more rickity than the benelli, but still very effective. Its all I used for about 6 years. Difficult to take a part, but they may have changed that since I owned one.

Remington 870 Special Purpose Synthetic

I like this gun.Nothing perfect about it, tis reliable,light,and good looking.For me it gets the job done when hunting waterfowl or small game.I'm not some princess who has to have the best gun like a Berreta or somrthing else totaly expensive.Just dont t

Remington 870

You will never find a better gun than the 870. I have shot all the pumps and this one wins hands down. I have literally used my gun as a canoe paddle, walking stick, and anything else you could imagine in a duck blind. You just keep pumping shells in to i

Great shotgun

I own 2 of these one in 20ga (was my first gun) and one in 12ga. both work flawlessly even in some pretty bad conditions. my only complaint is they rust very easy. and if you want them to look nice keep them clean.

best gun ever

only thing about this gun is the choke i had to chang it to a full choke tube.i shot some squirrels with it.this gun is very accurate.

rem 870 super mag

The 870: best pump shotgun ever, period!

No problems

I purchased my 870 in June 09, after my brother had purchased one in May. Both guns have had several boxes of ammo through them with no problems. It is a great gun. I'm not sure about the issues that other reviewers are having, but I would recommend a Rem

I thought Rem shotguns were supposed to be good

I think maybe older remington shotguns had better quality. I bought this 870 and it would jam with almost every shot. after firing a shell, you had to use all your might to get the chamber open. I tryed all different brands of ammo, and still jams. I ende

This is my first shotgun that I have purchased and have had nothing but great luck with it. The first pro about this shotgun is the price. You cant find a better shotgun priced as low as this one. Remington has been shelling out 870s for a long time and t

870 Wingmaster

I've had my grandfather's Remington 870 Wingmaster 16 ga for over 25 years and have never experienced anything other than sheer joy and uncanny reliabilty with it. As a result, I just purchased my son a brand new 28 ga Wingmaster so he can join me in phea

Great gun

I have recently bought the 870 super mag on sale at my local store. I took it duckhunting a couple of days later, and it worked great. The recoil was very managable even with the 3 1/2s I was using.

A Real Working Mans Gun

This gun is unbeatable in its price range. I have had an Express for about 15 years now and not one single complaint. It has only ever malfunctioned one time, a piece in the trigger assembly broke and had to be taken to the gunsmith for repair, but consid

remington 870 express

I got this gun a year ago and it works great. The only advice I would give is to keep it oiled really good because if u dont it will get stuck and jam. I would give it 5 stars if it didn't need oiled that often

870

I bought this gun and I will sell it as soon as possible. I jams more than it shoots and I will never buy another. I bought a Benelli Nova and I love it it has never had a hiccup. I would recommend getting a Nova over a 870 anyday!

I love this gun !!!!!!!

I love my rem 870 because it has the most accurate aim. I also support this gun because it has a very good stock to me. It helps me on the trap feild also!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

31 years of the 870 wingmaster and it never fails

rem870

I got this gun for Christmas and it is one of the best guns I have ever shot. I use it for shooting trap to hunting and it always comes through for me. Remington is an excelent gun maker and their guns will always have a place in my gun safe.

I've had one of these for several years. Fantastic shotgun. The 20ga frame is smaller and lighter making it an excellent woods gun. I use it for trap shooting and small game hunting. The engraving on the receiver is beautiful. Remington did an excellent j

Was very pleased with the shotgun. No surprises and that is what I like.

I love this shotgun! Very light and a great rabbit hunting gun. I am very pleased with Bud's prices and will shop with them again! Thanks Bud's!---Jerry
