Remington Wingmaster, what's it worth?

[Effnjeff]

I hope this is the correct section to ask, apologies if not!

I have an old and well used Remington 870 Wingmaster pump action shotgun. I got it from a buddy a while back, but have no use for it and really need a gun suitable for clays instead.
Does anyone have a rough idea what it might be worth if I sell or trade it in?
I'm hoping it might be close in value to the cheapest Miroku O/Us, but haven't the foggiest about shotguns.

Thanks in advance.

Have a look on Guntrader for similar shotguns, that should give you an idea.

Any pictures , if it's wood and blue in nice condition £250 upwards but it's hard to say

Here are some pics below, it is in better condition than I remembered with the only noticeable wear to the blueing underneath the pump slide. The barrel measures 26".
I have shot the gun at the local club, and it fires, cycles and ejects properly every time.
It's a nice old thing really, the chap I got it from thought it might be 1970's vintage?

Looks in nice condition and from a time when "Big Green built 'em right" but sadly I really can't justify a 3rd pump action in the cabinet!

Looks to be nice and clean , is the wood with the engraving classed as the deluxe ?

 

[Effnjeff]

I really don't know, but took pictures of all the lettering on the action and barrel.
Do the pics give a better idea of value?

The "Wingmaster" was the higher end of the 870's, I've had mine for 26 years ( 1st shotgun, paid £200 then), personally, in that condition I'd buy a bigger cabinet and keep it,

The Wingmaster is the top model of the 870s. Not a great fan of many American guns but the 870 Wingmaster is a classic. I bought my first one in the late 60s and shot a mass of pigeons with it. About 6 years ago bought a replacement. Every gun cabinet should have an 870 wingmaster. That looks like a nice one in the photo's

Now that 870 is lovely but I would say a Browning BPS is actually the way to go for a gorgeous, classic pump

Scrummy

Well. You are wrong.

Usual state of affairs tbh

Sorry to spoil your dream guesty but I think you will need to add fair bit of cash to the value of the 870 to buy even the cheapest of used Mirokus.
Nice old Remington by the way, make a good slug gun.
