Thank you very much! This is the exact problem I’ve had with my old Wingmaster. I ordered the conversion kit from you, and I will soon be ordering the modern forend tube assembly from you as well.

I really didn’t understand how the new style bolt carrier helps to prevent a jam. So I did a test - I took both a new and old style 870 and took out the trigger group. In battery I pressed my finger up on the underside of the bolt carrier to simulate the pressure of a stuck shell, and i slowly moved the pump back. On the new style 870 the bolt carrier and bolt both moved back. But on the old style it solidly was stuck. What I noticed was that the back of the bolt carrier can contact the back of the ejection window in the receiver. The track for the action bar/bolt carrier on the window side of the receiver is interrupted. So the ramp of the new style carrier keeps this hang up from happening. This is definitely a good improvement.

Hmm. Informative. Seems that my old Express has the Flex Tab Lifter, has the newer version Breach Block, but the older style Slide and Action Bars.

Hey I have an R870 Wingmaster that needs the flex tab upgrade but I'm wondering where I can get ahold of the kits.

Does that back notch really keep the bolt carrier from wiggling? Isn’t movement like that contained as the bolt carrier rides in slots milled into the receiver?

I always thought that the reason the Wingmaster was such a be all end all upgrade to the standard 870 was that you wouldn't need to worry about poor operation, and a finer tuned action?? How old do you mean when you say older model Wingmaster? Just asking because I recently bought a used LEO trad in 870 Wingmaster, and spacificly sought out the Wingmaster over the regular 870. I am normally a Mosberg shooter but, the gun was on sale, I had some money, and well..........

I started shooting Police Wingmaster when I became a police officer in 1976. Shot them for 30 years at the range during qualification and in Tactical Shotgun course. Never ever had a issue with it. I don't see paying $100 plus dollars for a conversion I don't think is necessary. If one firearm has an issue during shooting, transition to your other weapon. Or run like hell.

If the new bolt is so expensive, why can't someone just carefully file a little off the front of it to allow the clearence necessary along with the flex tab lifter?

I was thinking the same thing. If one has the ability just mill out an old bolt to match the new style.

I have a non flex tab with the dog dog carrier riveted on I wanna take that dog carrier off and put it on the new stripped flex tab carrier. Do I need a certain style rivet?
