remington 870 wingmaster magnum serial number x117756m

They don't carry the price premium they should, because they are not 'new' I suspect. They say it's like it runs on ball bearings and I think that's accurate. The 31's was arguably the smoothest pumping pump gun ever built. The serial number ends in M, and the receiver is marked '870 Express'. It can tell you the year of manufacture, as well as other information about the gun. I have a 12 ga 870 Express that I bought new in 1989. The serial number is a unique identifier that’s stamped on the receiver of the shotgun. 2 3/4 and 3 (top line) 3 1/2 only with Super Mag receiver (bottom line) on the left, I.

Is this barrel not original to the gun and am I risking damage shooting 3' shells 2. I recently purchased a used 870 12 ga with a 26 barrel. The barrel is marked '20 GA Magnum for 3' Shells'. If you do go for the 870, the police and Wingmasters versions are a better version alternatives, certainly the older ones are as good, perhaps better (according to about everyone), than the new ones. The receiver is marked Remington 'Wingmaster'. If you are thinking of getting a pump 12 ga, you won't do better than an old used Model 31. Now you can do this automatically using R. However, the Model 31 is a much better shotgun and they couldn't come close to reproducing it with today's costs for anywhere near what it would cost to make. Call or email Remington and give them the serial number, they will tell you when it was born, however keep in mind they do make errors. Remington Serial/Barrel Number Lookup enables you to check when your Remington firearm was manufactured. They come back quickly, if the owner is shooting the long boomer three and half inch mags. That the three and a half inch Super Mag models give trouble. They needed to get the costs down to compete, so they did the usual things, figured out how to cut corners, eliminate hand gunsmithing and shave costs by making a cheaper version and they hit a home run with the 870. The only trouble with a regular three inch chambered 870 is that Wal Mart sells them cheaper than they can.

As an aside for people looking for amazing price to performance ratio: Remington made something called a Model 31 that predated the 870.
