My dad has an old 870 wingmaster that still worked fine with the action full of duck seed and mud

I hate to say it but I rather the feel of my dad's old wingmaster than my supernova. But the lack of recoil on the benelli is awesome.

I grew up with an 870 Wingmaster 12 ga and I still have that gun but I usually just use a synthetic 870 for hunting these days so I don't ding up that beautiful walnut. Have others that I sometimes like to break out. Winchester Model 12 3" mag 12ga is probably the best pointing gun I shoot but the 870 is like an extension of my arm because I shot it so much as a kid. Plus I don't care about fricking it up.

It had an orange bead on it stock, but I took it off in the blind to look at it and dropped it. I can't buy a replacement bead that fits, so I'm gonna have to be a whole new end sight.

That sucks. Shouldn't be hard to find a tru glo sight that fits. My youth model Rossi is missing a bead I lost hunting when I was young. No sights fit the weird sized/threaded hole, ordering a replacement was too expensive, as was getting it drilled a retapped for a new one. It's still just a sightless point and shoot gun 10 years later

Pretty damn good idea, but how the hell do you notice that???

Do you still have the actual bead from your stock sight on your Vinci??

Eta: if so, and your not using it or don't need it, I will buy it from you. I just don't really wanna replace the entire sight
