I use a 2 3/4" 870 Wingmaster for skeet, dove and phesant. I have put more than 5000 rounds through it and a MEC 600 Jr. The little mechanism that holds the shells in the magazine is starting to occationally fall out on the 870. I hope it's repairable because that gun and I have been together since August 1977. Service merchandise had it on sale, I believe it was $180. I think that's about the time that Remington made 3 inch standard in the 870.. I'm guessing...
Soory.. got off on a tangant.
Bottom line.. the little thing that holds the shells in the magazine seems to be the only thing that wears out in high mileage 870's
