 | The Remington 870 "Wingmaster" was introduced by Remington in 1950, and since then has become one of the most popular American all-purpose pump-action shotguns. |
 | The Remington 870 is also a very popular police and security shotgun, and is available with extended magazines (up to 8 rounds), fixed or folding buttstocks, and pistol-grip stocks. |
 | Technically, the Remington 870 is a manually operated, pump-action shotgun with dual action bars and tilting breech lock, which locks directly into the barrel extension. |

 | The two primary shotguns that are found in the average survivalist battery are the Remington Model 870 and the Mossberg 500 series. |
 | The 870 utilizes twin action bars to prevent binding of the slide action during rapid operation of the weapon. |
 | It is possible that a shell can slip from the magazine and wedge between the shell carrier (the part that lifts the shell from the magazine) and the slide assembly (the part that moves the bolt itself). |
