First does anyone have an email address for Remington? I searched and searched their website but could not find one.
As you could gather from my posts in my other thread I am on a search to find a 12 gauge shotgun for my fiance that is light enough, cheap enough, and has enough changeable variables. I am looking at a new Remington 870 Wingmaster in 12 gauge with the 26" vent rib barrel with the rem choke in the end. It weighs 6 3/4 lbs according to their website and it should lose some of that by cutting the stock down.
My questions are:
Is there any mechanical difference between the Remington 870 express and the Remington 870 Wingmaster LC? Or is it just looks? If not then why does the Wingmaster weigh a half pound less? They both shoot 3" shells.
Can the barrel from an 870 express be put on a Wingmaster?
Can a slug barrel be bought for the Wingmaster?
Do you guys think this is a decent choice? I have a Remington 870 express with the 28" vent rib and the 21" rifle sighted slug barrel. I would like to set her up the same way and the Wingmaster looks like the way to go. It's lighter and prettier. The prettier we could do without, but it is a plus as she is female.
