Hello,

When I look at Remington's MSRP page
http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/MSRP/
they list dozens of varieties of the 870 Express and 870 Wingmaster

If I understand it right, I can get ANY 870 Express or ANY 870 Wingmaster, new or used, and build the same setup as those sold on the website, right? The difference might be stock pattern and barrel length but I can get any barrel that will fit the gun and any stock installed right? Or does it make a difference which one of those I pick, ie Express 870 Super Magnum Turkey Camo vs 870 Express Combo? I'm under the impression that I can buy any Express setup and with money and a gunsmith, build any of the other (express) ones off of the platform.

I'm thinking of looking around gun stores for a "gently used" Wingmaster. On the other hand, I am the first person in my immediate family to show an interest in shooting, so there is the "Buy a new gun and then hand it down" aspect of starting new instead of with someone else's tradition. That sounds kind of lame/expensive when I type it out...
