There's a very nice old 12 ga. 870 Wingmaster offered for sale at a LSGS that I might be interested in, the starting price being 500 bucks. It's vent. rib barrel is for 2 and 3/4th" shells, and doesn't have choke tubes. I believe a new, updated 3" mag. chambered, vent rib barrel with choke tubes could be installed without any modifications, no? Just off the cuff, what would a new vent rib, 3" barrel with tubes roughly go for regarding this shotgun?
This shotgun I'm looking at reminded me of the very one I had back in the 70's when I duck hunted back in MN. The nostalgia bug bit me real bad when I saw this one the other day. I loved that old Wingmaster I had back then. Wouldn't mind maybe having another one. BTW, it's got the black loading gate, not the chrome one; might date it a bit.
Thanks for any info.
