Why not use a Supermagnum as a base gun?

Because it's "Too much sugar for a cent" as the old folks used to say. IMHO anything that needs to be done with a 12 gauge can be done with a 3" magnum or less. Mostly less- I'd have to dig really deep here to find any 3" shells. But I don't chase ducks, geese or turkeys, so my outlook might differ from those who do.

Because some folks have trouble with shortstroking a pump shotgun anyway, and adding an extra howevermuch of an inch to the action bars surely can't help with that...

Because I've heard tales of the little spring steel piece that's snapped onto the back of the bolt in a Supermag to fill up the ejection port coming off, and jamming up the action...

It's just free advice on an Intraw3bz forum, it wasn't scribed by the finger of God into a stone tablet on a mountainside... 8^).
