When did they dimple my mag tube?

Post by Hedgelog »

When did Remington start using the bayonet style plugs, with dimpled mag tubes, on the express? They must have implemented this much earlier on the 12 gauge since I run across many 20's with the old internal friction retainers, but the 12 seem to be scarce.
Also, does Remington now use the dimpled tube on the Wingmasters?

Bayonet style plugs?

I'm not sure when Remington introduced the internal ratchet system, or which gauges came first. I have seen the new-style plastic spring retainers on new Wingmasters, though.
