The Model 31 was marketed as the “ball-bearing repeater” and was well-received, but its many machined and handfitted parts made the gun expensive to manufacture. John Browning designed the Remington Model 17 (which was later adapted by Ithaca into the Ithaca 37), which served as the basis for the Remington 31. John Pedersen designed the fragile Remington Model 10 (and later the improved Remington Model 29).
#REMINGTON 870 WINGMASTER SERIAL NUMBERS SLUG BARREL SERIES#
The Remington 870 was the fourth major design in a series of Remington pump shotguns. It is widely used by the public for shooting sports, hunting and self-defense, as well as by law enforcement and military organizations worldwide.

Soak the rusted areas dripping wet and allow to soak overnight.Remington Model 870 12 Gauge pump action shotgun (Wingmaster model) To remove the rust without doing further damage to the finish, get some penetrating oil like Kroil. Magazine extensions usually come in a satin blue-black color, or parkerized. You DONT have to replace the barrel, unless you insist on shooting 3 ammo, which most people dont. Sounds like a fairly good used 870 which someone switched barrels on. The only other input I would give is to try it out with snap caps. The rust spots might come out with a nylon toothbrush, otherwise careful application of steel wool may be necessary. I cant help you with the manufacture date, but Id estimate this 870 to be worth right around 200. The blued version will be smooth, while the parked version will be rough. You must procure a barrel that is marked for both 2 34 and 3.įinding a blued mag extension tube shouldnt be a problem most of em are blued, good luck finding a parkerized version If youre not sure which one youre looking at, run your finger over it. The receiver is rated for 3 shells, but the barrel isnt chambered for them. What else should I look for I checked everything visually and it looks visually sound.Īny function tests I should do Now, how much should I pay for this When are the most desireable shotguns made 1950s 60s 70s Any advice to remove the rust spots Theyre not heavy, but visible. Home Defense Shotgun: I also thought of using this gun as a home defense shotgun.ĭo they all usually come in black How about a blued 18 barrel I noticed not too many current guns use a BLUED 18 barrel. I bet if I clean the gun up itll be smoother I think maybe slightly smoother than my current model Wingmaster. Some parts have some scratches into the bluing, otherwise very lovely to look at. The Good: - The bluing is still very deep and good condition. There might be some rust on the end of the magazine tube. Magazine cap seems to be metal instead of the rubbery ones compared the new Wingmaster. The wear: - There are 2 light ring marks on the receiver - Slight rust marks on the inside of the receiver (or not, since it looks more copper color) - some pitting at the barrel clamp. The wood forearm has the same style as the current model 870s.
The wood is PERFECT Only thing is a tiny chip on the forearm. On the receiver it said 870 Wingmaster Magnum, but the barrel said 2 34 only Can anyone date the Wingmaster Serial: V2560xxM Id like to know around the timeframe when this shotgun was made.
