The Remington 870 LW (Lightweight) 20 Gauge is a variant of the famous Remington 870 pump-action shotgun. The Remington 870, introduced in 1950, became one of the most popular shotguns in history due to its reliability, affordability, and versatility.

History of the Remington 870 LW (20 Gauge)
The 870 Lightweight (LW) series was introduced in the 1970s as a lighter version of the standard 870, primarily chambered in 20 gauge.
It was designed for youth, smaller-framed shooters, and those who preferred a lighter shotgun for hunting or sport shooting.
Initially, the LW models were built on a smaller, lightweight aluminum receiver, but later Remington transitioned them to the standard 870 12-gauge frame (called the 20 Gauge Standard Frame).
The Remington 870 LW Wingmaster was one of the more premium versions, with high-gloss wood and a polished blued finish.
Features of the Remington 870 LW 20 Gauge
Gauge: 20 gauge
Action: Pump-action
Receiver: Early models had aluminum receivers, but later versions shared the 12-gauge steel frame.
Barrel Lengths: Typically available in 26\" or 28\" barrels, with options for shorter barrels in some configurations.
Weight: Lighter than standard 870 models due to the lighter receiver and wood stock.
Stock: Available in both walnut and synthetic stock options depending on the model.
Magazine Capacity: Typically 4+1, though extension tubes could be added.
Chokes: Many models came with fixed chokes (Modified, Improved Cylinder, Full), while later versions used Rem Chokes (interchangeable choke tubes).
Uses of the Remington 870 LW 20 Gauge
Hunting: Popular for upland birds (pheasants, quail, grouse), waterfowl, and small game due to its lighter weight.
Sport Shooting: Used in skeet, trap, and sporting clays, particularly for youth and smaller shooters.
Home Defense: Some models with shorter barrels were adapted for defensive use.
Discontinuation & Collector Interest
Remington later phased out the LW series, replacing them with modernized 870 Express and Wingmaster models in 20 gauge.
Today, the Remington 870 LW 20 Gauge is highly sought after by collectors and hunters due to its lighter weight and classic craftsmanship.
