Please help me date this Wingmaster!
I recently purchased this vintage Wingmaster Police 12ga. The date code on the barrel has me a little confused. Take a look and tell me what you get. Looks like LPQ to me. Any help or insight is appreciated. On a side note, I'm excited for the build on this one. I plan to keep it mostly stock, but added a Remington +3 tube extension and have some Trijicon ghost ring sights for it. I will most likely leave the walnut stocks on it, as it is practically identical to the one I qualified with in POST academy back in the day. Thanks in advance!

Probably Feb '95 or '67. What's the SN on the receiver?

SN 10926XXV (hid last two digits, don't know if the V is important)
Re: Please help me date this Wingmaster!
It's a '67 then - beginning in 1968, 870 SNs were given a letter prefix starting with S. The V suffix means 12 ga, 2 3/4 in shells.
