Was bored today and had some time to kill. Went to one of the local pawn shops to look around and picked up a older Rem Wingmaster in really good condition for less than $300. Got home and called Remington for history and found out it was a '81 Police version. Had a gun smith friend of mine break it down and check it out tonight and from his findings it has had very little wear over the years and didn't look to have been shot much. His thought was it was a really nice shotgun. No rust, no pitting, nice wood a just a few scratches. Action is incredibly smooth. A little bit of the blueing in one area is rubbed off the top of the receiver which led me to believe it might have spent some time riding in a LEO car? It also came with an unused mid-length Rem ribbed barrel that the last owner must have bought for it before he lost it to the pawn shop. My gun smith thinks the extra barrel is mid to late eighties stock because of construction. Right now it's got the original non-ribbed police barrel with bead sight.
Anyway, was wondering if any of you had any suggestions to trick it out or leave as is. Will make a nice home defense shotgun. Anyway, any suggestions, upgrades you guys want to offer. Upgrade the shell count? Just looking for ideas.
