Unless you live in the tropics or seal the can when the humidity is really high, I suspect temperature matters more than humidity. I suppose if you really wanted to go to town, you could add oxygen absorbers? I think these are...overkill? ;)

Just checked the Remington website - there is an Express Jr that has an 18.5" VR RemChoke tube (it's also a 20 ga).

Recently saw a Remington Express 870 Youth in 20ga that had a factory 21" vent rib barrel with chokes (gun was cheap, too, in near new condition). The short stock makes the thing pretty compact (40" LOA). A potentially Very Useful Shotgun.

Reason: worn trigger plate in the Beretta; replacement Benelli trigger group parts more available/less expensive (!) than Beretta. Background: many/most of the parts of the M1 interchange with the 1201. The bolts and nearly all of the trigger group parts are identical. Question: has...

Out-of-this-world-standing customer service from these guys - as others say, even if you buy the tools used.

For the OP, this is not off the wall at all. Several defensive shotguns come with tubes from the factory. The Benelli M2 and FN SLP come to mind, but there are probably others.

A few of the posts above seem to assume that there will be no holster used...pocket carry doesn't mean not using a pocket holster...there are safety, reliability and concealment reasons to do so...

Will a barrel for a Beretta 1200 fit a 1201FP when the spacers, etc. are taken off the magazine tube?

In real life, I mean. How easy or hard is it to neck .357 Mag cases down to .22 to make .22 Jet cases? I assume you have to ream the neck to get the brass down to normal thickness after forming? I've read about doing this but never done it myself and I'm guessing there's things you only learn...

The 1.2 oz is partly due to the denser hard rubber of the UM's grips compared to the lighter rubber of the Bantam grips (more air in them, I guess). There is another difference, at least between the early 342s and the 342PD. The fluting on the cylinder on my copies is larger on the PD than...

The slide is stainless steel. The factory process is not the most durable but I believe they'll refinish the whole pistol for $75. You can get more details from the SIG website under the "Custom Shop." You can also get other companies to refinish it with finishes that may be more durable...

Pretty sure that Glock is about to roll them out, though... :uhoh:

Beretta AL390 Super Sporting...alloy receiver, rounded aft, all the usual AL390 traits plus the wide "sporting" (which, slightly confusingly to me at least, for Berettas seems to mean "competition" rather than "field") rib on the 28" barrel. Is it the porting on the barrel? Was porting...
