Figured somebody here might know...
Saw a older 20 guage Wingmaster in a local pawnshop, they were asking $185. It was the model without the ventilated rib. Looked to be in good shape, but I did not handle it.
I thought that might be a good deal, wondering if I should snatch it up?
Thanks

That is a pretty decent price and extra barrels are easy to come by...

You can't hardly kill an 870 and I much prefer the plain barrels. I picked this one up for $125, tight as a drum. Of course I restocked it so it fits like a glove.

Good price for a Wingmaster. I picked one up with Police barrel on it and then ordered in a 28 inch vented barrel with rem-chokes for another $150. For $300 total I have a duty shotgun that will take doves with the turn of the forend nut. Good price and they are a nice shotgun. Offer him $165-170 cash in hand and see what he says. Depending on the shop it also might behoove you to ask him his best price. I was going to offer 20 bucks less on a revolver the other day but the above is my standard line, they were hurtin to get rid of it and gave it to me for $50 off to get it out the door.....Never hurts to ask and you can't get hurt on a Remington.

That's a good price. I paid a little more for one about three or four years ago but have had a terrible time finding a vented barrel. The new 870 replacement barrels do not interchange with the older actions.
Nonetheless, mine shoots just fine with the old barrel.
Good Luck.

Cool, thanks for all the input. My buddy was eyeing it because he has the same gun in a 12 and a 16, so it would add to his collection. He was in rifle buying mode, so he didn't snatch it up.

If it's a really "older" M870 20gauge, it may be one those guns built on a 12 gauge frame - so beware if you were looking for a smaller, lighter-weight 20 gauge.
The 20 gauge "light weights" didn't first shgow up until the 1980's some time.
As for price, used M870's depending a lot on condition and whatever features can run from $150 to $300. Average seems to be $185-$225 at the WA state gun shows I attend.
