I have a Remington 870 in 20 ga, it is the LW Magnum. It is the Wingmaster, not the new cheap ones they are building. Bought used , have not fired it yet. The gun seems to have been well used, action was slick and bore was clean so I bought it.
It seemed a little finicky about taking 2 shells into the magazine, so I removed the magazine spring and barrel to see how it was plugged (I could only get 2 shells to fit into the magazine). Turns out, it does not have a plug at all, but the magazine spring is severely kinked in about 4 or 5 places. Does a normal 870 have a straight mag. spring and a plastic plug to keep it down to 2 in the magazine, or am I witnesssing some bubba engineering here?
Thanks in advance for assistance!
