I’ve seen a number of 870’s jam. Not sure if it’s design or operator induced. I’d hesitate to choose one for a primary defense gun.
Wingmasters or the express model?
Im not sure I ever had a jam on a wingmaster.
The express on the other hand……
I have been working on a 20ga express that my
daughter won at a DU dinner 20 years ago. It sat in the safe with less than 2 boxes of shells through it. Grandson started using it and it became impossible to pump. I have stoned the insides and found a lot of burr’s. Working pretty well now. A little polish and some shooting and hopefully it will be a good gun.
Ithaca 37’s and Win model 12’s and Rem 31’s woild be my choices afrer 870 wingmaster
