Just bought a Remington 870 Express Super Magnum for $265

So...when was it made?

At least it is a pre-freedom group gun

How much of a difference does that make?

General consensus is that pre-freedom group guns are fantastic and are the guns that you should think of when you hear Remington. The post-buyout guns have had horrendous qc issues especially finishes. My friend bought one in 2011 and after 2 months in the closet, it had a bunch of rusting spots. In contrast, my uncle kept my grandfathers old Remington 1100 in a soft case in a garage in Lafayette for like 10 years (this was a 1980's 1100 that my grandpa left when he left the country) and there was not a single sign of any rust. The 1100 had been through some nasty weather too.

I wonder if people are having problems with the Wingmaster
