Restored 1956 Remington 870 Wingmaster
Stock cut and fitted with limbsaver recoil pad, 13" LOP, Choate magazine extension, barrel cut to 20 inches, fiber optic clamp-on bead up front. I spent several hours cleaning and polishing the internals, refinishing the wood, removing rust and spot bluing, and this beautiful, classic fighting shotgun is the result. I still need a left hand safety because the one I got off of ebay didn't fit (imagine that ...) but otherwise, it's done and ready for the range.

Re: Restored 1956 Remington 870 Wingmaster
Just beautiful! I still have mine that was bought in 1957 except that it has the corncob forearm but it is in pretty good condition for all those years. I think my dad paid around $85.00 for it when he bought one for each of us in Lancaster. His had the forearm like yours, sold it years ago. I still hunt with mine, never had to have any work done on it. Congratulations on a great job.

Thanks, guys! The finish is basically impossible to keep clean but it's definitely nice to look at.
