re: What is the best waterfowl shotgun?

My old man actually shot out an early 80's 870 wingmaster. Many many many ducks fell to it. Now it will only feed shells if you point it up, one of the little spring bars in the side of the receiver is worn slap out and won't let the shells come out the tube. I'm sure if you replaced those bars it would work like new again.

Wingmasters, BPS, nova, etc are all fine duck guns for a guy like me. I only shoot 2 3/4" shells and I don't shoot a whole lot. Those guys shooting 3.5's boxes at a time really need an auto for soaking up some recoil and if you don't mind spending the money, they're great.
