I've been on the lookout for a project 870 to set up for my wife for home defense. I found one for $170 in nice shape and plan to put a Knoxx adjustable on it along with some other minor tweaks (+2 tube, tritium bead, new forend; practical non-bling stuff).
The specimen is an old non-ribbed Wingmaster with a 30" barrel. The top of the barrel has wavy milled pattern to it that I have not seen before. (can't say I've looked a ton either)
A friend mentioned that this barrel may be collectible to someone and I may be better off selling it rather than cutting it down.
I don't really want a matte finish 18" barrel on a blued Wingmaster and am inclined to just cut the sucker.
What do you all think?
