Minor changes to chambering size and what size shells the receiver ejects is about it other then the flex tab conversion, two minor changes to meet SAAMI standards to the chamber and rim cut and a change to the stand off on the barrels. There are over 10 Million 870s and nothing of significance has changed on this weapon since day one. This aint Wine so forget that year stuff as an 870 is an 870.

If you want it for a defence weapon make sure it has the flex tab conversion and the Wingmasters that have serial numbers that end in the letter M will.
Remington 870 Wingmaster Serial Age Serial Numbers That End
I would think a Wingmaster of any vintage should be fine, as long as everything functions as it should. The Wingmasters were never plagued by the quality control issues of the Express models. It remains my most used shotgun and sports multiple barrels depending upon need. The 1976 was my first Wingmaster experience and I have no complaints at all. They all believe it is the gun but if you run it smooth and firm. My 1953 12ga, and three 1960 (tenth year ), a 12,16 and 20 all get used by folks of all sizes with the occsional malfunction. It is my understanding firearms made in the 1950s and 60s happened to be made when American Steel quality was at its highest. Hello friends and neighbors You can call Remington during their normal work hours and they will tell you the year if you have the serial number.
Is there a better way to figure out an accurate age What size barrel would I want to get for HD. What are the best years should I be looking for If I recall correctly 1950-1970s is a good range.Īlso, how best to determine the age I know a lot of barrels get swapped on Shotguns.
