I use the qualifier "self proclaimed" (I use it with "liberal" too) because there is no definitive definition for "conservative." It's not meant as an insult; I just don't feel like wasting my time debating what a "real conservative" is or isn't. Ok, although you think she is bad for the...

"a perfect example of why she's bad for self proclaimed conservatives' PR. You either agree with her 100%, or you're a leftypinkoqueer" LOL PR?.... PR?... So you aren`t really a conservative, you are a "self proclaimed one", who is worried that someone will think you are a real conservative...

Malkin is great. What she looks like has nothing to do with my opinion of her. There shouldn`t be any confusion or complexity put onto what she is saying, or this war we did not start. It is plain and simple. Ofcourse YMMV according to how left you lean.

After taking one apart and putting it back together for the first time, i said. "If everything was this simple, this robust, and this beautiful, the world would be a better place." I have a few fine rifles and pistols, but i will always have a special affection for my 870s...

Only shells i have seen that were water proofed are Federals tactical "law enforcement" line. There is some type of lacquer sealing the primer. I have a few cases of the buckshot and slugs i got from ammoman.com. They also have plated shot with shot cup btw.

Excellent, Thank you. I reckon i`ll just blast away and see if i can break it while it is still under warranty. :D

Hey folks, I recently purchased an express 20" rifle sighted brl from cabelas online. On close inspection of the brl lug i notice the "seam" that looks like a weld from the brazing where it is connecting the two is missing on the sides but present on the fore and aft. edges. Does anyone know if...

I just bought one online. Being delivered "curbside" which is at the end of the driveway. I have 3 to 4 weeks to figure out how i will get it in the house. Guess i better start working out :D Any chance of a heavy duty dolly being of any help?

I had never heard of Mossberg making an 870 brl, guess i need to get out more. The one i listed from Brownells is a Remington and park'd. I suppose it having more steel, polished bored, and being park'd is the reason it is higher.

Brownells has them. Part # 767-000-385 $163.00 Might be a tad high, also i didn't see an option to specify what gauge you wanted to order on the website. It just seems to state that they have them in several guages.

Wilson Combat ie. Scattergun Technologies do offer "Amor Tuff" But i ordered mine with Mil-Spec Black Manganese Phosphate Finish (Parkerized)

I don`t know what it is, but it`s better than the park. on my scatt. tech. 870, you can sratch it off with your finger nail. Not so with my express.

"They may use steel but sadly the quality of Remingtons has gone way down in the last 10 years". I`m happy to report that i havn`t experienced this with the two 870s i purchased in the past two years. No quality difference between these and the 870 i picked up in `87.

Hello all, I had a debate going with a friend about what appears now to be a typo in the April `02 issue of American Rifleman. It stated that the Scatt. Tech. 870 they did a write up on had an alloy receiver which i have to say had me thinking they had switched to alluminum too. So i wrote...

I guess i have more CS knives than anything else too. I just recieved a Kobun in carbon V, and a Recon1, from www.knives-usa.com they have the best prices i have found as of yet. The Kobun is thin as it was intended to be a boot knife, but not super thin where it may break, especially in carbon...
