XVIII,

You're right, we don't have to have a contest. That wasn't what I was trying to do.
I was merely pointing out the older guns are much more desirable than the new ones.

That being said, your 870 analogy isn't relevant. The parts of and old Wingmaster will swap into a newer express. They ARE the same gun.
The internals of a no dash 686 and the new ones will not.
The old gun has firing pin - the correct term is hammer nose - on the hammer.
The new guns have the firing pin mounted in the frame.
There are many other internal differences as well.
Take both of your apart and swap the internals and see if either will function...They won't

I am not trying to argue with you, but you took issue with me saying they aren't the same gun.

Technically, they are, but there are many difference that make the older guns more desirable and more valuable than the one you posted in what seemed to me as an attempt to put a value on the OPs gun.
My point was simply, you cannot compare the two guns.


There are two types of gun enthusiasts ... Those who have been F#CKED by PTG and those who will be!
