Q: What are the differences between the M-870 Police and the M-870 Express HD?
A: Structurally the two receivers are identical. The only difference will be that the Police model will have a more durable finish. The magazine tubes will be slightly different. The Model 870 Express HD will have two indents in the magazine tube to accommodate the new style plastic magazine spring retainer. However, this prevents the HD model from accepting a magazine tube extension without alteration to the tube.
Other differences will be that the Police model includes a blaze orange follower, sling swivel studs, a shorter fore-end, heavier shell latches, a heavier sear spring and a heavier magazine spring.
Q: What is the difference between a Wingmaster and an Express?
A: The differences between the Model 870 Express and Wingmaster are strictly cosmetic. The Express utilizes a birch stock and fore-end and non-polished matte finished metal surfaces. The Wingmaster has a walnut stock and fore-end and a high polished blued finish on metal surfaces. Internal parts are the same on both models. Both are built to the same exacting mechanical specifications.
