assuming you want to replace just grip of forend
Take barrel off by unscrewing cap at front of magazine and pulling barrel off
take out mag spring and follower from tube magazine
without barrel or magazine contents hold shotgun receiver upside down in lap with feed port facing up
inside the receiver is a metal rail which you have to push in before you can slide off forend, reach into receiver from loading port and rail should be on right hand side when looking at receiver pointing away from you and upside down.
when properly depressed forend should click and slide off away from receiver bringing with it the bolt and bolt carrier
to remove grip from guide rails unscrew nut with 2 notches in it at end opposite to rails and slide grip out
terminology may be different in manual but you should be able to follow hope this helps

No
Yes.
Serial numbers by year for the 870 Remington Model.
All Remington model 870 shotguns were made in the Unites states.The Remington plant was located in Ilion,New York.
From what I posted on one of my web pages....2000:Remington introduced the 50thAnniversary Model 870 Classic Trap Gun as a tribute to the world's best selling pump shotgun! This 12-gauge gun featured a 30-inch vent rib barrel with RemChoke barrel and semi-fancy American walnut stock and forend. Remington also began making the Model 870 Wingmaster Super Magnum with 28-inch vent rib barrel with RemChoke, chambered for 2¾-inch, 3-inch and 3½-inch shells. The company also manufactured the Model 870 SPS-T RS/TG Shotgun with fully adjustable Truglo rifle sights, 20-inch RemChoke barrel, black matte finish on metal parts and black synthetic stock and forend. Remington also made a Model 870 SPS-T Super Magnum Camo CL/RD Shotgun, with a 23-inch barrel with RemChoke and Leupold/Gilmore Red Dot sights, a Mossy Oak Break-up camo finish on metal parts and on the synthetic stock and forend.
The 870 Remington shotgun used to be a popular candidate for a "release" trigger.
The W ahead of the serial number indicates that your Remington 870 wingmaster was made in 1972.
NO. But both these barrels are easy to remove and replace and there is a wide selection of factory or aftermarket replacement choices available for both guns.
Depends on when it was made.
