The 870 Wingmaster has a nice varnished walnut stock and a glossy blued barrel.
The 870 Express has a satin finish walnut stock and a matte blued barrel.

They are interchangable (same gauge) but don't exactly look the same.

Just a little warning about the Express wood, several years ago I had an 870 Express out in a duck blind in a rain storm. The wood on the forearm actually swelled, you could not pump the gun enough to feed and eject shells. When it dried it was ok, I pulled it apart and finished the inside of the forearm and it was fine from there on.
