Hi
Would like to know if Jim Wilson of Wilson Arms Co. is still alive today, he was the owner of a small firearms maker business in Georgia in the 80s. He was the maker of the original Witness Protection Shotguns for the US Marshals Service. I am the owner of a genuine WP870 AOW shotgun that was made in 1984. 
Would like to ask him a few question about these guns. Anyone knows him ? . |

My understanding is that Wilsoncombat and Wilson Arms Co. are 2 different entities.
i'm looking for Jim Wilson not Bill Wilson. . |

Hey,
Did you find out any information about that WP870 ? I noticed something interesting. The photo your provided that shows the text on the chamber: WILSON ARMS CO., BRUNSWICK, GA WP870 That photo shows the text color being yellow. Shouldn't the text color be in white? Regards, Gray |

Regards, Gray white markings tend to yellow with age on a firearm, especially when exposed to oils and powder residue. |
