16 ga Wingmaster production date, receiver/frame size
Re: 16 ga Wingmaster production date, receiver/frame size
Man, that ain't older. Made between 1974 and 1978. Prime years. 12 and 16 and pre-1972 20s were all built on the 12 gauge size receiver. In '72 the Lightweight 20 started being built on the 28 gauge sized receiver, but they still made the standard for a while, too. I believe the 16 was dropped before they introduced RemChokes, but there are scads of vent rib barrels around. They made a recent "Classic" run of 1100s in 16, but i don't remember any 870s - I could be wrong - have never kept up with 16s much. You can have choke tubes fitted to almost any barrel. Try looking at www.Gunbroker.com, www.Corsonsbarrels.com, or www.barrelexchange.com.

In 2003 (as per the catalog), Remington issued a Wingmaster and Express Synthetic in 16 ga. with light contour barrel and Rem Choke options.
I believe they were cataloged for a couple of years before they disappeared again.
