1973 Remington 870 Wingmaster 12 gauge
I killed my first deer with this gun. I saw him take a lot of squirrels and rabbits with this shotgun.
I finally took it completely apart and gave it a deep cleaning several weeks ago. I'm taking it squirrel hunting this fall. A lot of great memories with this gun.
Just wanted to share.

For the most part from what I've read, the Rem Wingmaster has had a good rep over the years. Your inherited s/g looks really nice.
Most important, it's the family connection with your Dad. That is the very best part.
Glad you have it, and hope you have a good squirrel harvest this fall.

My favorite shot gun made. Very nice condition and really nice you have a Remington that was your Dads. Never saw a 870 that late with the "corn cob" fore end. I would be willing to bet you will never replace a part in that gun the rest of the years you use it.

You have a great shotgun there! I am glad that you shared it with us. I have a .12 gauge like it that I got new from my father when I was 13 in 1958. I still use it sometimes. I shot my first pheasant with it.

Great story and photos. I bought a 870 in 1968 . I think it was one of the last years without a factory recoil pad. Over the years I ended up with three barrels for it= all three major chokes. I never had to do a thing to it except keep it clean. Best one hundred and four dollars I ever spent.
