Re: Trying to get value on 1990s 870 Wingmasters

That was my first step. I am fluent in finding “sold” prices on gunbroker and listing prices on places like guns international. My issue is that I was not able to find a comp on those sites with the features these guns have. Nice walnut stocks with cut checkering, ventilated rib, etc.

Confusion in Dating 572 Fieldmaster

I am trying to date a 572 and have not been able to narrow down the production date. The year date code is "I" which make it either 76, 88, or 2014. When I look at what I find for history or modifications over the years I am not able to rule out some of those date. Here are some of the key features ...

#6 Improved Assembly Problems

Purchased a pretty rough #6 Improved at a gun show last weekend and have been sprucing it up. It had some pretty heavy pitting on the one side of the barrel and receiver so I didn't feel bad about taking it down to white metal and blueing it with some Dicopan. Bore is fantastic and am looking ...
