does remington make a barrel for the wingmaster that can shoot rifled slugs for a 12 Guage? and which one can shoot rifled slugs?
 
Yes they do and so does Mossberg. Do a Goggle for Remington 870 rifled barrel. You will find quite a few. I think from 18" to 28", all with rifling. They are pricey.
 
870 smooth bore

Yes you can get a smooth bore with rifle style sights or at least you use to be able too, I have an 870 express that came with such a barrel as a set. You could also use a smooth bore barrel with improved cylinder choke or a barrel with screw in chokes. Screw in chokes could use a cylinder bore or a rifled choke that will allow you to use saboted slugs as well.
On a gun with a barrel without rifle sights you could use a no-gunsmith scope mount set up that uses the trigger group pins to attach.
I have an 11-87 that has the smooth bore with rifle sights that I can keep all shots on a 9" pie plate at 100 yrds. I use an improve cylinder choke. I use Remington Slugster 1 oz fostner slugs.

Good luck

I've bought 2 870 smooth bore slug barrels for $50 ea. Check around. Check ebay. Sometimes you can find a used 870 with a slug barrel, buy the gun with 2 barrels, sell it with one and break even. 870's aren't to hard to sell if they are cheap enough & if you look around you can usually find a deal. Hastings makes a very nice rifled slug barrel for the 870. Depends on how long of shots you're going to take. All I've ever used is the smooth bore. My long shots used to be 40 yards. Now I take my black powder for long shots.
