RE: Pardner 12ga. for waterfowl
I shot one a few times
It is basicly a 870 clone , but I believe uses WinChoke/ Mossberg type choke tubes
The one I shot was not real smooth , but it would probely smoth out with a little use and oil
The one I shot was owned by a fellow duckhunter and his set son used it all this season
That I know of , he didn't have any problems
