Yeah, my old 870 Wingmaster was made in the late fifties and has that little ringtail fore end. It is nearly silver from packing it so much and has a near and dear spot in my heart. But the right tool for the right job and all that. Subscribing to that theory allows me to buy more guns! smile

And I agree, I have a strong dislike for the Express Model 870's. The Wingmaster is a nice shotgun, the Express not so much in my eyes.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
