Nice early 870. The very early guns like yours have "wingmaster" between the trigger pins and not in the middle of the receiver like all later guns.
I have early 870 ADL's in all 3 gauges and contrary to an above poster until the 28/410 and 20ga.LW's came out all 870's had the same receiver.
And like you mine were bought when they were cheap to buy.

At the time a single shot was $12 and the repeater was $21, From Sears and Roebuck. We were poor and I expected neither. Big surprise. miles

I also have a 16ga Sportsman 58, plain barrel Imp.Cyl. that I honestly shoot better than any other gun I have. Love it. I don't know if it's the stock dimensions or what, but I've threatened to have all of my shotguns modified to the same dimensions, that gun just plain shoots where I'm looking like no other!

Mebbe not MB! LOL!
Just one.of them "thangs"! The old Brownings and the Rem M11 with the square back were never appealing to me....but I cut my teeth on a Win M12. Just grew to prefer them.
The Rem "Sportsman" isn't as "square" as the A5 or M11.

I inherited my Dad's 16ga 870. I think it's from the early 60s. It wasn't for sitting around to look at, it's pretty rough looking. I'll probably shoot a few roosters with it this fall.
