I want to put a mount point for a single point sling on my 590. I went out and purchased a Midwest industries plate that fits between the receiver and stock. It's about a quarter inch thick and as a result the stock bolt is not long enough. I went down to the hardware store and asked the...

A real bummer! Alas I only have one of the later production ones. I note that it is stamped Ilion NY. Possibly a casualty of the showdown over the 'unsafe' act in New York state?

I picked up a 325 rd box of federal auto match at the same olean ny store the last week of September. I was there to get a hunting license and there it was. I bought one. It looked like there were 5-6 of them. The limit would have been 2. The 'shortage' is a result of increased demand...

I too have heard good things about the xs big dot for sd. It was a little pricey for me so I picked up a hi-viz fiber optic clip on. This thing clips on TIGHT. It's not a whole lot bigger, but it shows up very brightly. In no light obviously it doesn't work. I've got a sure fire bolted to...

I just put a slip over one on mine. The extra length isn't a problem for me. It might not be the prettiest solution but it works.

I saw a video (documentary) where a young man found himself on the victim end of a gang initiation. The perp shot him at very close range with a shotgun. (They didn't say what gauge). Anyway, he was at varying distance from the victim starting about 10 feet and then closer. The first shot hit...

It's just marketing hype. I have a few of these on hand. I don't see any difference between the 'military grade' and the regular 2 3/4" Winchester buckshot that wal Mart used to carry. Personally I favor the federal classic for any pest control use as it seems to pattern tightest (of...

In the next few days I'll be going up to the property to test a few turkey loads. L-R #4,5 & 6 Federal flite control 2oz, Hornaday versatight #6 1.5oz , Winchester supreme #4 idk how much shot, Remington nitro #4 1 7/8oz and for comparison federal #4 1 1/8oz. Also I want to see how the 20 gauge...

I like the 3"federal #2 buckshot. Good luck finding either in the current climate.

Right but up to a maximum of 10. Personally I think they should switch to two man teams and one of them carry a 7 shot shotgun. See how comfortable people are with that in the grocery store. The lack of exemptions is moronic. (Along with everything else). Consider that I was talking to a...

http://youtu.be/bhEHB06HotE What about this?! I had no idea such a thing existed! Obviously not what the op is looking for... But WOW!

Yeah I'm relatively new to firearms ownership. I bought my first gun, a 10-22 in October of 08? Anyway just before Obama/McCain election. I bought two boxes of the federal 550rd boxes at Walmart and had a few fun days out at the range. When I had kicked the first box I went back to wal mart...

I like my single shot h&r 12 modified choke. It's a fun gun to take out to the range and a good general hunting gun. I have tried a .22lr chamber adapter in it too. It adds to the functionality of the gun. Its nowhere near as nice as having an actual .22 rifle but it is quite useable at...
