I am trying to find a 12 gauge that I like for shooting trap/skeet.
I found an older (not sure how old, didn't get the serial number) 870 Wingmaster with a cutts compensator installed for about $300.
Things I noticed:
Barrel is not vent ribbed (I actually don't know what the vent ribbing does? Does it help with sighting?)
Has some scratches and such, but everything seems very smooth.
Ribbed forend and no checkering on the stock, if that helps date it.
I don't know much about the compensators, but what i GoogleFu'd indicates that they make nice patterns, reduce recoil, and make the gun extra loud.
Does the compensator add or reduce value?
Any reason not to go for such a gun for that price?
Thanks for the help, not real knowledgeable about such things.
