Remington 870 Magnum

Jarhead0093 · Aug 8, 2020

For sale is a Remington 870 Magnum in 12 gauge. Recently inherited so I don't know anything about it. It is in good condition with very little wear. I believe made in the mid 80's but could be wrong there.

Price is negotiable. Thank you.

Yea this is by far the best condition gun out of the lot that I got. Honestly I can't tell if it was even fired. The guy I inherited them from was a sheriffs deputy for many years. So it mainly road in a patrol car until it ended up in the back of a safe.

The magazine tube shows little if any wear. Thats the #1 wear area. Its gonna make someone super happy

Here are some better pics of that area.

What do you think about the price? Fair?

Beautiful 870.

So, this is a 870 Magnum from 1986. How does it compare to the Wingmaster 870 from 1986? Same mechanically, but just able to shoot 3" magnum shells... or would this have been the base model back then (like an Express is today)?

Technically is a step below a wing, but the reality thay are the same. The express model has a number of thing that make them cheaper,
