To determine the age of a Remington Model 870 Wingmaster 12 gauge with a 3-inch chamber, you need the serial number, as Remington's serial numbering system can help identify the year of manufacture. Generally, you can find resources online or consult Remington's customer service for serial number lookup. Without the specific serial number, it's impossible to determine the exact age of the shotgun.
They have date code stamps on the barrel which can be looked up on the manufacture date link on the Remington Society of America.

They started in the 50's and still make them. The older ones have a serial number that starts with a T or S. The older ones also have a chrome flap on the underside, the new ones have a black mag flap.
The ones beginning in T or S are the older made guns. The 870 was created in the 50's.

To determine the age of a Remington 870 with the serial number x052201n, you would need to refer to Remington's production records or use a dating guide specific to their firearms. Generally, Remington 870s produced after 1968 can have their age estimated based on the first two digits of the serial number, which often indicate the year of manufacture. In this case, you could contact Remington or consult a gun expert for precise information about that specific serial number.
The old ones(60's, 70's, 80's) have the smoothest action from a pump action. They are still the best pump action shotgun on the market, in my opinion. I've got one.

I saw used ones at LL Bean, and Bass Pro Shop in good to excellent condition for $200 to $250 dollars just a few months ago.
I'm not sure on the price but it is a very good gun for a 13 year old I know a few teens that use them they are one of the best field gun ever made
