Wingmaster trigger questions

[spyderchop]

Hello,

Wondering if I can use aftermarket safety on my older 870 wingmaster trigger I have in my build?

Thx

I haven't done it yet (got the parts, not the time) but I fully intend to. The design hasn't changed.

If it is designed for an 870 Remington, sure.
But, whats the problem with the oem trigger safety ?

It's getting stiff in the 40 year old trigger group....

Old grease ?

Old grease ?

^^^+1, or some kind of grime.

OP, I’d pull it appart and clean it well for starters if you haven’t already. It’s a simple mechanism, there’s a cross pin, a spring and ball detent and the safety button. Lots of YouTube videos on disassembly and replacement.

Once the old safety is out you’ll be able to compare it to the new one, if they look the same it should drop in.

I swapped out the old Wingmaster safety for a S&J jumbo safety. It was a little stiff but has broken in well.

I had the enlarged safety and found I kept bumping it with my trigger finger when I didn't want to. Prefer the original factory version
