Where can I find parts for my 1959 20 GA Wingmaster?

Post by aemp0523 »

I am looking for shell latches for my 1959 Wingmaster. It seems as though this is the hardest gun in the world to find parts for. It is the large frame 20 GA, and when I had the finish redone the shell latches came up missing between me and the guy who refinished it. I called Remington and they told me to get the 28 GA shell latches, but that they would need "fitted". Anyone have any ideas?

There are some 3rd-party gun parts sellers online that specialize in parts for out-of-production firearms. Have you tried looking at that?

I've never heard of 28ga latches being adapted for large-frame 20ga 870s, but then, we don't get many folks coming through here with those old-style 20-gauges. If I get some time in the next few days, I'll see if I can dig something up on that.
