Ok, I know I'm new here but I've looked around quite a bit before posting this question.
I'm pretty sure Remington has issues with model identification and Serial Numbers as far as records go..
Here's my situation.
I have a 20ga Remington 870LW Magnum, so says the receiver. SN is W659XXXU. It is all glossed up Walnut and blued like a Wingmaster, but I can't find anything stating exactly what it is. I called Remington and they said it was mfg. in 1988 but couldn't tell me anything else. I looked on Remington Society and found information regarding an 870 LW but not magnum. The original owner is saying he bought it circa 1998, however the factory box has 2006/2007 dates on it.
As far as barrel codes, mine reads
XL 3 "symbol" S
RI
It is a 28" VR with Remchoke. I'm a little overwhelmed with the amount of information vs. applicable information.
Does anybody have any good information that could help me identify this shotgun? I would really appreciate it.
Thank you in advance.
