Wingmaster magnum help

1911vm,

This is a new one for me. I haven't seen an 870 marked on the right side of the receiver like that. I noticed that the finish on the barrel appears darker than on the receiver. It looks like a police shotgun. Anything is possible with a government contract shotgun.

They may not know that they work for Remington. Once I called Mossberg, and the guy I talked to told that their law enforcement shot guns were full auto so I wondered if I got a wrong number.

I have a left handed 870. It is stamped wingmaster on the right side, and Remington 870 Magnum on the left. It came with a 20 inch rifle sight barrell

That's interesting. But mine ejects to the right. I am kind of anxious about reply from Remington.
They emailed me back and asked for the ser # so It's sounds like they are not sure either. Lol

well I got my answer from remington " it was maid in 1987" . And that was the historical department. WOW

I have one.
Left side = "Remington 870 MAGNUM" and a serial number beginning in W and ending in M.
Right side = "WINGMASTER"

I guess I never considered it to be odd.

Thanks for posting that. That is exactly what I got for some reason I could not attach pic. Except it has an 18in barrel. I was told by some Remington Gurus that they made that configuration for LE I am also assuming mine has been re-finished . It is not blued
So the LE configuration is the special part.
Also it being Wingmaster Magnum is a cool factor. Not that many of them around.

Mine came with a 28" VR Remchoke barrel.
