Since the Remington 870 was introduced in 1950, its patent expired long ago, hence this well made Asian tribute to the Wingmaster. Manufacturer is Qiqihar Hawk Industries Co. Ltd. of Qiqihar, Heilongjiang Province, Mrs. Robertson's home state. Importer and warrantor is Interstate Arms of Billerica, Massachusetts.

Chambering is 12 gauge, 2 3/4 inch and 3 inch shells interchangeably. Barrel is 28 inch Rem-Choke threaded, furnished with a .7105 modified stainless choke tube.

Additional replacement Rem Chokes are available from us and our distinguished colleagues throughout the country. Sight system is a 12 post, .316 wide serrated Ventilated Rib that sits .0185 above the barrel at the lug. Front sight is a conventional .156 brass bead that mates with the receiver's serrated top. Magazine tube is 15 inches, longer than the original 870 so capacity is five 2 3/4 inch shells, or four 3 inch shells without any 2 shot adapter or plug. A two shot adapter should be seven inches, and longer than a standard Remington adapter, to be legal for migratory birds. Magazine threads are the same as Remington, so this shotgun will accept any tube mounted light or laser device designed for an 870 or 1100.

Safety is right hand shooter, mounted behind the trigger, and gunsmith reversible. Forend is semi beavertail with fluted checkered surface laterals. Slide assembly is double welded steel.
