"The biggest is the trigger group assembly of the Wingmaster is built on a steel carrier as opposed to the plastic carrier of the Express models."
Nope, sorry...the Wingmaster trigger group body {trigger guard} is anodized aluminum. As was many of the Express 870's, only the finish was different. I believe the Express was powder coated wrinkle black. Only the latest 870 Express' had plastic trigger guards. The actual carrier or shell lifter was always and continues to be steel. Early Wingmaster's had a chrome plated carrier. As to "polished steel" being more durable/reliable...yeah, that's funny!!!!!
+1 on the resale above.
