Today is my birthday. My girlfriend bought me this.
It's in the mail as of today! |

Quoted:
Look like a nice, newer production gun. I'm not as convinced on newer production. There's no prefix on the serial number, appears to be a fixed choke plain barrel (no vent rib), the white trim is faded, there is light wear on the sharp edges, pre-flexitab carrier, and the wood grain is nearly identical to a 1973 Wingmaster I bought this spring. However, I could be wrong. Regardless, it's a real beauty TexasRifleman!! Enjoy! |
