My conversion table shows that as $850 USD. I'm seeing online prices for Wingmasters (both new and used) ranging from $500 to $1300, so you're about in the middle of the pack. Considering the quality of the wood that you got, I think you did well.
Thank you for that information, I'm very happy with the gun and its quality craftsmanship.

Great purchase - particularly "overseas".... I actually have family, by marriage, in the UK so I have some idea of the regs in your part of the world. Not sure I'd own even the first firearm there...
Tell me about it, no home defence allowed here onl clays and game, if I bump into any of your family I'll let you know !
Does anybody know if my 1980 Remingt9n Wingmaster 12g with 2 3/4 barrel with imp cylinder choke will be OK with magnum 70 (2 3/4") 42.5 gms / 1 1/2 oz cartridges with 3 shots inside. The cartridge box states gun barrels must be nitro proofed to 900 kg per cm 2 and a shot load of 1 1/2 oz.
Thanks as not sure my barrel can take and by the way the 3 shots are lead !

The barrel will be able to take it better than your shoulder will! I hope your hunting with those, and not shooting clays with them!
I'll take that as a YES then Entropy, and you are quite right a smidgen to big for clays !The barrel will be able to take it better than your shoulder will! I hope your hunting with those, and not shooting clays with them!

Very hard to beat basic 2 3/4" 00 buck rounds with 9 .33 cal pellets for close quarters work (15 meters or less...). That basic round is a one shot fight ender at close quarters if you do your part... and it's pretty much available anywhere...
