When my order came, included with my plug was a new magazine spring, a large can of aerosol Remoil spray, a silicon shotgun sock with the Remington logo and a Remington Country Camo hat. She thanked me for being a Remington owner and took my order for the plug which I paid for with my credit card. She asked if had been satisfied with the shotgun and I replied that it had never let me down, she was very polite and so was I. She pulled me up on the computer and still had my information from where I had sent in the warranty registration card back in the 70's and was impressed that I was the original owner of the Wingmaster. The lady I spoke with asked the serial number of the gun in question and I gave it to her as well as my name. I called customer service to purchase a new one. About a year or two ago I had misplaced the magazine plug from Wingmaster. I constantly hear how their new products are declining from what they used to be but for whats its worth their customer service has always been above and beyond for me. I have never been a big fan of Remington Rifles I am more of a Winchester Model 70 man in that category therefore I have not ever had to deal with Remington repairs or services. I am sure they will last the rest of my lifetime and be passed down. Both 870 Wingmasters I have were made in the 70's and neither has ever failed me and both have had thousands of heavy dove loads ran through them as well as target loads. I have not purchased any new Remington gun products in a long time. It is a big deal, customer service is huge. Also any sources for a factory rem choked barrel at a reasonable price? The serial number 52#v indicates, if i have read right, that the gun was made in 1979 based on the 'v' in the serial number.Īny help would be appreceiated. Question- how to find out the manufacturing date. The gun shows no wear at the muzzle from having been fired allot(no blueing missing or faded) not a mark on the original wood. Modified barrel 26" long over all the gun is in 95% condition, bluing perfect and original end to end. My mother has shot an 1100 since the mid 60's when they first came out(bought for 45 buck from a used car dealer) and I have shot it in the past but I have always wanted my own. The shotguns are an 870 that I inherited from my granddad and restored to factory new condition and a premeir 1187(bought first year they came out) but have never owned an 1100. I have owned many remington rifles and 2 reimington shotguns. Hi everyone, I usually hang out on the CZ forum but I had to ask a question.
