My waterfowl gun has been a Rem. 11-87 with a 3" chamber since 1988. Before that I shot an 870 with 2-3/4" chamber (I have leagally shot lead at waterfowl so you should be able to tell how old the 870 and I am). I've had jets of water shoot out of the fore end ports when hunting in the pooring rain. I've always kept it clean and lubed (very lightly lubed when it gets below freezing) and it has alway gone off and cycled.
