A Man Like No Other Dave selflessly coached me at the 5-stand at the Prince George's Trap and Skeet center in Maryland when I started out with a new 870 express in 2010. At 30 years of age, I was new to gun ownership and had only shot a few times prior. I had very little firearms experience or...

I prefer over-under so I can toss the empties easily. Also, I'm not a fan of a shell catcher for semi-autos. Seems like it would throw off my swing. For range shooting you only ever need two in your clay buster. I vote over-under. I use a Beretta Silver Pigeon II, but I like your...

Thanks for turning me on to the Brownells site. That looks to be a great store.

I don't plan on dismantling the trigger assembly, I just want to clean as you suggest. I don't take my 870 express trigger apart either. Just spray, blow with compressed air, wipe, spray, wipe. Then clean the compartment and surrounding area. That is one narrow slit for the main screw. You...

Thank you friends. I will likely not dive too deep. I've had a little experience with fly springs so I'll probably leave it to the professionals.

Bingo! I think they're #55 and #78. Before I try this, can you tell me if there is a specific tool required? Are they reverse threads? What else can you tell me?

I would like to get into my trigger assembly to clean but there is a screw setup that I've never seen before. On the bottom of the receiver there is a small screw surrounded by a larger screw. Is anyone familiar with this? I expect to hear, "just leave that to a gunsmith." But I'd still like to...

Tells us what you found at the show.

Lookin good!

How 'bout blades Let's say my tool is a knife? How would that change things? :cool:

Thomas Ferney A company new to the States is Thomas Ferney. They are made in Turkey (edit: I'm only sure the wood is Turkish), look great, are hand-made, and won't break the bank. When I went to purchase a Beretta 687 Silver Pigeon :D, the row of Thomas Ferneys really caught my eye. They look...

I think this could be a common ground: 1. There are multiple types of ballistics tests using different materials. 2. Each material or medium can show a unique aspect of a bullet's ballistic characteristics. 3. The combined knowledge could be used to compare two different bullets' or...

I like what started here

:neener: Yes. A joke. That would make for an inappropriate situation.

I agree M-Cameron. Though few of us have access to high speed cameras, like a Phantom. I work in the pro video industry and I can't get one at a reasonable price. The question posed was concerning a "test medium" not a human analog. I disagree with the FBI when they use the language, "tissue...
