I have an older Remington 870 WingMaster that I am considering selling/trading. Gun was manufactured in 1979 and is in excellent overall condition. It has a 28" VRB and is chambered for 2.75" shells. It is a fixed modified choke. I have made the following modifications to the gun:
Refinished stocks with boiled linseed oil...just did not like the factory apperance.
Replaced honeycomb buttpad with Remingtons new R3 recoil pad from Limbsaver.
My only source for pricing is FJestads Blue Book of Gun Values 25th Ed. (circa 2004) shows gun value at $350 (98%). So my question is how does this compare with todays market for an older 870? Should I be able to trade this straight across for a nice S&W revolver or SS Ruger M77/22? Your responses are greatly appreciated.
