I had originally been looking at the Benelli Super Nova Tactical for a dedicated home defense gun. I had also considered the Mossberg 500 and 590, as well as the 870. But after trying my buddy’s 20 gauge Wingmaster a couple of weeks ago I fell in love with it, and now I think I’d prefer to acquire a used Wingmaster that could double for both HD and also something I could use for clay targets on the range.
I see plenty of used WM’s on places like Gunbroker but very few have shorter barrels (18.5 or 20) that would be more appropriate for HD. My question is, would all I need to do is swap out barrels, say from a 28-inch to a 20-inch, and if so, is the shorter barrel something that I would get directly from Remington?
I figure that for the cost of a decent used Wingmaster and an extra barrel I’d be as good off if not better than getting the Benelli SNT. I’m also undecided as to whether I want a 12 or 20 gauge. Anybody have their Wingmaster set up for HD with a shorter barrel?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
