I doubt it....
I've seen several fall apart in the duck blind. Especially late season hunting divers when the weather is cold,ice, nasty etc. last year I hunted with a benelli M1 and had it freeze shut on a few days. Still worked fine just tough to unload unless you use the trigger to do it!!! Buddy's 870 ran flawless all season and his sons mossberg 835 came apart in pieces during the early season and was dropping shells out the bottom before that happen. Actually a fairly common problem with mossberg's. The shell stops get out of wack and don't stop the second shell coming out the magazine tube. He used a Remington 883( one of those ugly all plastic things!!!!)for the late season and it worked fine. I know it's mostly waterfowl hunting related use but its a good testing ground for a guns reliability.
