I'm in the process of acquiring an older 870 that's sold as a Police model but has Wingmaster on the receiver. At this point I do not know the exact serial number or the guns age. (It has, according to the seller seen very little use and is, according to the pictures absolutely gorgeous. )
Being left-handed, I would like the safety to be left-handed. In my previous Remington, I installed a Fortmann's left-handed safety, but unfortunately Midway has ceased to sell anything overseas. What other options do I have?
From some random web page I read old enough Remingtons may have had safeties that are reversible. Is there any truth to that? (If so, I'd like to avoid my Colt debacle where I had the safety of my LE6920 in the right-handed configuration for about three months while I was waiting for the ambi safety I ordered to arrive - and only after I was informed the shop was unable to deliver the ambi safety to me did I find out the original bloody safety is reversible... )
