Vintage 870

[Jed Clampet]

Good Day

I acquired a Vintage Wingmaster in pristine condition. It has the ribbed forearm. The previous owner had replaced the original barrel with a 30" Vented Rib fixed choke. I am looking to find a production date but all sites state the information can be obtained by the barrel number. I am looking to find information based in the Serial # on the receiver. Any ideas ???

Thanks

What's the serial number?

746346V on the receiver

870 serial numbers without a letter prefix were manufactured before 1968. The "V" suffix indicates 12g 2 3/4" shells. You'll have to call Remington to get the exact date.

Thank you for the information.
