Bud Light,You hit it right on the mark. I have a 20yr wingmaster mag, not made for steel, I have used that gun for everything under the sun and still kill birds with it, but again the barrel is showing a lot of ware from the steel. I have traveled from Maine to Tenn with it and back to Maryland again,she is showing her age. Steel is all we can use here in MD, I need a serious watefowl gun.Looking hard at the Brown BPS. Thanks for all the advice.
