I bought this shotgun brand new and I am the original owner. It was manufactured in September of 1979. I’ve only fired three boxes through this shotgun in all these years. It has a 30” ventilated rib barrel with a fixed full choke and a 2-3/4” chamber. The gun is perfect in every way, inside and out. No scratches, no dents, no dings, ...none. The finish is polished blue, and the stock is high gloss American walnut. It is in immaculate condition. $675.00 plus shipping to your FFL in CONUS.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Wow! Just exactly like the one my parents got for my 13th Christmas...would have been 1981. I wish mine looked anything like that one....of course there are a lot of memories with all of the rubbed bluing and dings in the wood.

Come off retail and I'd be interested. What exactly is “retail” on a 1979 Wingmaster in immaculate condition with a total of 75 rounds fired through it...?

Come off retail and I'd be interested. These have appreciated a lot in recent years. Seems an 870 express model might be more at your price point.

I’d gladly pay “retail” for a wingmaster of this vintage vs roll the dice with a new one today for the same price.
Good luck with sale. Beautiful WM.

A great shotgun! It's nice to see the fine finish of 40 years ago.
