    870 Wingmaster Question

    I have my eye on an Unfired 870 wingmaster from 1979. The seller wants $275 and that seemed like a great deal but i wanted to make sure, and i was hoping someone might know if it is safe to shoot steel in this gun.

      That is about the same year as mine, I think mine a 78, 30" barrel full choke. I wouldn't sell mine for double that, but that's more sentimental than actual value. If it has the original barrel it is probably fixed choke FWIW.
      I keep meaning to get a later barrel with screw in chokes

            I have a 1977 Wingmaster TB Trap Grade, I wouldn't recommend steel through it.
            Hevi Shot or Tungsten, yes.

                  As long as it is a modified choke or bigger............then according to Remington...YES!
                  Buy it!

                    Well, it might be a dud... let me buy it and work with it for a few years, and I'll tell you how it performs.

                      Almost as good as my $200 unfired 56 WM deal! Still a great price if in like new condition.
