Well, I just sold a gun that I never use anymore and I want to pick up a used Wingmaster to replace it. There is gun show in my area this weekend and I'm planning on going. I am not a hunter so it will be used to knock around the sporting clays course. I have a Beretta over under that I use, but I love taking a few turns with my brother-in-laws pump (Winchester SXP). I also want something that has a lot of parts available for it, i.e home defense barrels and stocks, and different barrels if I ever do hunt with it, though doubtful.
So what are some things to keep an eye out for? I have not shouldered one yet, and if it doesn't seem to fit me well, I will pass and look at some other brands. But, if it feels like my wife's 20 ga. standard frame 1100, I know I will love it.
I don't mind refinishing the stock, as I have done it on my wife's gun, and found it to be quite fun.
I was thinking about a 20 gauge with 28" barrel, VR or not doesn't matter to me. Maybe a fixed mod barrel to start.
Any suggestions?
Also, I could buy a new one with the money from the other gun, but I keep reading that the new Wingmasters don't compare to the old ones.
