I used to install them myself but I no longer have a shop setup. I think I'll have a local smith do it. But yes, the reason I want it is so I can shoulder it more smoothly, and while I agree with your mounting description I think the Decelerator with its hard rubber insert or a sporting clays...

I just picked up a used Skeet o/u. I like it but it has a concave rifle type recoil pad on it. Just judging by looks alone I like the Pachmayer Decelerator. Does anyone have any recommendations? Limbsaver, Kick eez, Pachmayer, or others. My concern is more for a mounting than for recoil...

I've got a friend with a Stevens 512. He paid $399 on sale at Gander Mtn. Seemed to be a pretty nice gun. BB

Thanks guys. I haven't gotten a chance to fire it yet. I hope I'm not dissapointed. BB

I just picked up a mint mini-14 Ranch from a private person sale. I'm not real familiar with these rifles. It is supposed to be preban. I tried to look up the serial# but Ruger said basically, here are the numbers but they may not be right. Is there some way I can verify what year? Are there...

I just picked up a Stevens model 311A. 12ga 2 3/4" it appears to be choked a tight mod and full. There are so many non toxic loads today that I've forgotten which is which. All I ever waterfowl hunt with is steel. Are both Bismuth and Tungsten Matrix safe? Is one better than the other...

Thanks, I figured I'd try here first. BB

I recently picked up a VH 410. I've been looking at pictures online and can find others like it with one difference. Mine has a single trigger and a safety/selector on the tang. According to the serial# it was made in 1928. I miked the bores and there appears to be a slight difference but I...

What would the chamber length be on a 1928 Parker Bros VH 410. Depending on answer..... Can I shoot modern loads through it? Broadbill

Thank you, I knew there was a preference but wasn't sure which. I've got a Ruger All Weather that kicks a little with the plastic stocks. Broadbill

I'm going shooting tomorrow and its been a while. If shooting an o/u in Trap don't I use the top barrel preferably for recoil purposes or dosen't it matter? Broadbill

You guys are killing me. As some of you know I'm new to muzzleloading, but I'm also a New Yorker which means I can buy but never fire a BP handgun. I am dying for a 36 cal 5 1/2" 1858, but to have it and not be able to fire it would kill me. You are all too lucky, Broadbill

Thats great, I'm jealous. I've been trying to get my "pops" out for years now with less and less success. I guess things hurt more than he lets on but I keep trying. Pheasants, Skeet, Targets, anything just to bring a smile and make a memory. Best wihes to all, Broadbill

Where else other than Cabelas can you purchase Ubertis? Also how does Euroarms Revolvers stack up against the others? BB

The time has passed but there was a .45 cal Investarms/Hawken barrel on ebay, along with alot of other parts. The guy must have broke down the gun to sell whatever he could. My question is would the barrel fit my Investarms 50cal without any inletting? How about a 54 cal? Are the outside...
