Are all Wingmasters coming with the dimpled magazine tubes now? I thought that was only on the Express models.

Have you tried using a hose clamp to compress it? That worked well for me.

Thanks - that's just amazing.

That's a lot of shells PapaG. Have you had to replace any parts? I'm curious about what wears out or breaks on an 870 after a lot of use.

Very nice wood.

If you're open to other options, you might want to consider a K-31. Accuracy is generally very good, slick straight-pull action. And I've never seen a bad bore. The main down side is that ammunition isn't as cheap and readily available.

I don't know how much of a premium it adds to the price, but the Target Grey finish was fairly rare. I was told it was a limited run done for Lipsey's, with 1,017 made. Check here: http://www.rugerforum.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=574708#574708

I've never used them, but Champion's Choice and Creedmoor Sports both offer stainless steel stripper clips for $4-$5 a pair.

Sorry, not mine - I saw the pic on another forum. I'm looking into an AR-15 SBR some time this year, but I doubt I'd chance someone having a sense of humor.

This may finally convince me to put an adjustable stock on my saiga.

I'd like the SP101 in .22 back, with an 8-shot cylinder, adjustable sights, and a 4 inch half-lug barrel.

It would definitely bother me. It would have to be cheap enough that it would cover the cost to refinish it. I passed over an otherwise-nice K-38 that had the initials "J.W." scratched into the finish with what must have been a nail.

I don't know, could be. My friend's rifle seemed to have a very tight chamber. It was very accurate but way too finicky. It eventually had an out-of-battery situation that wrecked it. Armalite replaced the rifle, but it was immediately traded on something else.

A friend's Armalite AR-10 had similar problems. No stuck cases, but it had trouble chambering several types of ammo. I think he eventually found Black Hills match ammo worked best.
