my mother gave me,my stepfather's 20ga shotgun a couple of months ago and I plan on taking it/him out with me a few times this season.
it is a Winchester 1400 20ga automatic
I know alot of guys say these things are nothing but junk,but my stepfather had this gun for over 10 years and never had no trouble,so I'm going to try her out.

Try that sucker out.  Nothing to lose.  You may find that with heavy 1 Ounce loads you don't have any issues.
