tkopp, I would like to give you an informed opinion on how well the sighting works with this gun, but it is brand new to me and I just haven't had a chance yet to take it up to my property to see what I can do with it. All I have done with the gun so far is fire five slugs through it at the...

Yes Hub, that is definitely the safety that I have that you show in your photo. And the right side of it is much larger than the left side. At least I know I did get that little extra. Regarding the Knoxx stock, yes it does seem to take a good chunk of the kick out of the recoil. And the...

tkopp, I guess I would have to see a standard sized safety for comparison, but I find it hard to believe that Wilson Combat would specifically list a "Jumbo-head safety" as an included feature for the Border Patrol shotgun if it was not actually on there, regardless of the Knoxx stock. In...

Aside to "Hub" ....... Thank you for the list of Wilson accessory costs that apply to my shotgun that you itimized in Post #26. That was extremely interesting and definitely made me feel better. Thanks for taking the time to research and post that information.

OK, getting back to the Wilson, here is a picture of the shotgun in question.

Sorry for the delayed response. I had to drive 13 hours to get home today and I could not check for responses until now, but WOW, I sure feel better about my purchase based on the generally positive opinions about my new Wilson Combat 870 shotgun. I have more to say and ask, but it is late and...

Thanks for the information Hub. It seems like the first 11 or so replies that I got were basically saying "Yes, you were taken for a ride and you are a complete idiot" and after that other members were saying that Wilson Combat does more than just tack on a few whistles and bells to a Remington...

Can anyone tell me anything, good or bad, about this "Armor-Tuff" finish I got on this shotgun? Was the receiver parkarized first and then coated with Wilson Combat's "Armor-Tuff"? Was the coating just applied on top of the stock 870 Express surface? Does anyone know exactly what...

OK, correction, the follower is NOT yellow but it is definitely not metal. I am sort of color challenged. It is flourescent green and made out of ABS nylon by Wilson Combat / Scattergun Technologies. Still looks yellow to me, but I can see it well regardless...

Yes, it does have the Armor-Tuff finish. I was told by the guy at the gun store where I bought it that it was "blued" but then I read somewhere on the Wilson Combat site that they "parkarize all carbon steel barrels and then apply the Armor-Tuff finish". I think the 870 express barrels Wilson...

I just made an impulse purchase of a brand new Wilson Combat Border Patrol 870 shotgun while stopping into an out-of-town gun shop to buy ammo for my revolver and to ask some questions about shotguns. I have been in the market for a home defense shotgun and doing web research for a few months...

Oh, yeah. I should report what happened with regard to the snakeshot ammunition in the S & W model 34. We fired at some cardboard from six feet away and didn't notice any "doughnut pattern" which was a good thing. The spread was centered and uniform. I must say upon first examination of...

Thanks for the info, Dan. Is there a difference between the 34-1 and the model 34 that I bought for my wife, other than the shorter barrel you have? By the way, I paid more than a hundred dollars more than you. Well, we FINALLY got a chance this weekend to try my wife's new ca. 1973 Smith &...

Thanks, Ron! That is exactly what we'll do, i.e., make some target phoney snake heads and try all the ammo on them. We were going to do that this weekend, but we got washed out by rain so we still haven't had a chance to fire a single round through my wife's anniversary present. But next...

So for taking care of a rattlesnake (and we have some big ones here and the only weapon my wife has is her S&W model 34 .22 revolver), is her best bet for ammo the "22 CB Long" or the "Standard Velocity 22 Long"? It sounds like the consensus is to forget the "CCI Shotshell" rounds (which is...

Thanks, Johnny! Man, is that some great information, as is all of this. I can see what you mean by not putting too many .22 shorts through the gun. What I'll do is make sure to test the .22 shorts last so I won't be inserting any other ammo types after that. I can also see what you're...

Hmmmm ...... interesting. What about putting six rounds of "22 LR Shotshell" into the snake from the S&W model 34? It seems like that would wreck the snakes day and it would be hard to miss unless a person was too far away.

Great info, Ron, thanks! And interesting comment about the rattlesnakes, Starter 52. Would the "CB Long" be a better choice or maybe load three of each in the revolver? And what makes a "CB" get listed as "pest control" in the CCI chart I found online? Is it just the lower velocity than the...

Oh wait, he also sent me out of there with some "CCI .22 LR shotshell 31 grain pest control" for the big rattlers we occasionally run into on our property here in New Mexico. I would leave them alone except my stupid dogs won't!

Thanks! Ooooops!!! Accidental post. Fat fingers! Skip this post .......
