Aging a Wingmaster

[Dr.Who]

Can anyone give me a site that I can go to an age a 870 Wingmaster?

Found one at a gun shop with 28 inch barrell and removable chokes. I assume that the chokes were added by a gunsmith, very nice job..... It is a very nice field gun, honest wear but not too much.... The Serial Number starts like this: V2753XXX.

The information I have indicates the Remington was made in 1979 . The V was only used for that year. To check this yourself goto www.dogpile.com do a search of "SERIALIZATION" there is a site by "BLUE BOOK INC" on my computer it is NUMBER 29 click on this one, there are serial numbers and dates for just about everything.

Call Remington at 800-243-9700. They will tell you over the phone.

You can also send them an email with the question via their website. I've done this and the response came within a day or two.

Okay, the first thing I thought when I read the title to this thread was "Hmm, wonder why he wants his 870 to look older?"

When I bought my wife's 1100 trap, the lady at Remington gave me the date faster than I could type this sentence.

Funny thing was that it was a birthday present and the gun was made the same year as my wife. I told her I searched and searched for that exact year
