Does anyone know if 870 Wingmaster and 870 Express barrels are interchangable?

They should be. The difference between the 2 models is mainly cosmetic I believe.

The express has a Satin finish.

They will still know it was you that pulled the trigger

All 870 barrels are interchangeable within gauge except the Special Field models, and the 12 ga. 870 Competition. The mag tubes are shorter, thus the ring is set further back on the Special Fields, and the 870 Competition has a recoil reduction system attached to the barrel ring. As millman and Rongo said, the differences between the Wingmaster and Express barrels is cosmetic only.

In 12 ga., firing 3 1/2 " shells from a 3 1/2" barrel mounted on a 2 3/4" or 3" receiver may result in jamming. Firing 3" shells from a 3 1/2" or 3" barrel mounted on a 2 3/4" receiver may result in jamming. 2 3/4" shells may be fired from any barrel, with the exceptions noted above, mounted on any 870 12 ga. receiver.
