Age of my 870 Wingmaster

[jrau13]

How would I go about finding the age of my 870? It was given to me by my parents when I was a teenager to hunt. It was used and older then but just curious as to how old it really is.
Any help is appreciated!

There are some codes listed online, but I once called the remington 1-800 service number and went thru a menu tree to records dept. or something like that. A real live person looked it up and verified my model and date of manufacture.

Ditto, A very friendly woman gave me the date of one of my Model 11's. Took about 5 minutes. Your 870 may have a 3 digit date code on the barrel,but that only works if the barrel is original to the gun.
