I'm helping a neighbor clean up his late uncles Mossberg 183T .410 shotgun. It's not in too bad a condition; just a lot of surface rust and dried oil/grease. The only missing part is the bead sight. Can anyone tell me where to get a replacement? I've done some searching on the internet today...

I posted a question here a while ago and received some very good information: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=647632 After reading and re-reading the responses to that post, I've narrowed my choice to either a Remington 11-87 or 1100 in 20 ga. A large part of my decision was...

I sincerely appreciate all the replies to my question. Thanks for sharing your experiences and opinions. I feel a lot more comfortable looking for a semi-auto that fits me (stature and wallet) than I did a week ago. I'll let you know what I choose and how it performs for me. Hank

I would probably be using #3 or #4 buckshot in the 2 3/4 shells.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a 20 gauge semi-auto for home use. I have read a lot of reviews and opinions that say a semi-auto shotgun is not as reliable as a pump. So what does "not as reliable" mean? Do the semi-auto's jam one time out of 25 shots, 50 shots, 100 shots, or what ?? I...

I have a small revolver that I cannot identify. It has a folding trigger and looks like a .25 caliber. There is a 4 digit number and the word "Spain" on the bottom of the grip frame. "Marca Registrada" around a bull on each of the grips and the left side of the gun. I can find no other marks...

If I buy a national match rear aperature, will it fit on my regular elevation shaft or do I have to buy both parts ??

Got it apart and cleaned it...it was pretty dirty but no metal slivers or any large chunks of stuff... But, now I cannot get it together and make the knobs work the way they should. I put the base and spring in, then the aperature, then I screwed the windage know in until it stopped, then I...

Sorry I got my up/down and sideways mixed up on my post....and yes, I did tighten the windage knob screw

I just bought a Norinco M14 Sporter and its in pretty good shape except the windage knob had no "clicks". I guess it is worn since it is original and I've read here that the rear sights may have "soft" metal. I tightened the Windage knob screw a little and it made the clicks more positive...

Both of you were very wise to go through Atlantic with your problem with the Lancasters.....Dealing with Chet directly is nearly impossible.. Heather does a great job when she is allowed to.. Nice rifles; one on one customer service is a nightmare (for the customer), my personal...

Methinks you made a wise choice unless you are an AK builder...:) Not to say his price is too far out of line for everything in the picture but the unknows would be a turnoff for me..

Sam1911, the only reason I would price it lower is in case something has been damaged during the screw build that the pictures don't show.. But, if I could examine the rifle, I might go $200. Those "G" kits are pricey now.

It Looks like a poor quality screw build of a Romanian kit. Offer $125 - $150 if you have the tools and know-how to re-assemble it using rivets. If you get it cheap enough and if the receiver is a Nodak Spud, you can come out with a decent rifle with some work - probably (but not...

I Thank you. I thought that was still the case; just needed to make certain before I bought a die set.
