I'm on my way brother, thanks for always looking out for me lol.
If nothing else it becomes a space filler in the safe.
It's possible that it is 50+ years old... although at this point I'm sure the furniture is not original.That's an interesting shotgun, and I'm guessing it's decently old - probably 50+ years. I have a Wingmaster from the early 70s, and it has the dark walnut poly'd stock with the embossed checkering in the fleur de lis pattern. Some quick Google-fu tells me that Remington went to the fleur de lis pattern pressed checkering in 1963, so if that's a Wingmaster and not an Express, it's either replacement furniture, or pre-1963. Take that with a lump of salt - I'm not an expert on this subject in the least.
Either way it was still a solid purchase. There's a reason that the 870 if one of the most popular pump shotguns of all time.It's possible that it is 50+ years old... although at this point I'm sure the furniture is not original.
My Dad's trap and skeet gun from when he was competing with that in the late 60s/early 70s was a Winchester Model 12. Back then that's what guys used - the $20K doubles hadn't caught on yet.Definitely not an express. That’s a trap stock for sure. I would be willing to guess that based on popularity of the 870 for trap that that hind dates from the 80s or earlier.
The left side of the receiver should have some text markings that tell more
Thank you all for the help and advice, its greatly appreciated!
Pretty positive, I'll pull her out of the hangar tonight when I get home from work and grab a picture.Great deal for the times, but I don’t think the furniture is right. You sure the receiver says wingmaster like so?
Here ya go Alpha... I think it looks the same?
