I have one of these with a second barrel set in 16/70 over 7x65R. This gun is a wand....and the stock is more mental than anything else.
Today I got a mail with an apology from the seller: The Krieg ... |

Sorry for the bad picture. The gun is hardly used. If I take it, I swap with a Husqvarna 12 ga.
Thanks for inputs!

Opinions about the 870 Wingmaster 16 ga with WW suffix - supposedly august 1972 - , 26" inch ribbed IM barrel and glossy stock with fleur-de-lis. Worth paying for and worth taking to the field?

The weak link in a break-up gun is the pivot bolt and the locking. To hot loads shoot such a gun off-face. At last it will rattle like a pair of maraccas.
