The R-870 Express chamber finishing has been the topic of previous threads. It seems Remington's production specifications for the lower grade gun are… well, lower grade.
I don't recall any complaints about the bluing on the 870 Wingmasters. Finish is another area where Remington saves production costs between the Wingmaster and Express. Obviously, the black matte Express finish requires less production time than polishing and bluing the Wingmasters. Has anyone who's purchased a Model 870 not wondered what the price difference, between the Express and Wingmaster, really represents? Then they make their choice and ante up accordingly?
Just a thought… does anyone remember hearing/seeing a comment along the lines of, "I bought a Wingmaster last year. I should have saved some money and got an Express," or something similar?
