I am not really looking for a Wingmaster, but a base model for my son. I have read that the new 870 express is poorer quality than the older guns. This is why I am interested in a used gun. Good price and good quality. The solid lifter hint is what I was looking for, thanks.

I have a newer 870 Express, and the only complaint I have with it is the finish. It's rough instead of smooth, and is a bit difficult to clean. Otherwise, it's pretty solidly built.

Just out of curiousity, why do you think the plastic trigger plate is better than aluminum?

I've never owned one of the older 870s, so I don't know what the aluminum trigger guards were like, but the plastic trigger guard on the new 870s is solid. Solid enough that I thought it was steel at first. I'd bet that if you load tested the plastic versus the aluminum, the aluminum would fail first. It is definitely NOT
cheap plastic.
