I'm thinking of buying a new 870 Wingmaster 20 gauge for another upland gun. I've noticed the lack of quality coming from Remington recently and have some rifles to prove it. My question is.....has the Wingmaster been changed compared to the older examples? I've found a few NIB that are 15 or 20 years old on Gunbroker but I'm not crazy about the pressed checkering, white line spacers, etc. compared to the new ones.
So I'm kinda up in the air between brand new or older. I know the polish of metal parts will be a little better on the older ones. I'm also wondering if they've replaced some parts with MIM like they've done on the new Express 870s.
