I just noticed you added an air gun section. I had R&L assemble this air rifle with the shroud. I use a valve that really boosts the power to 200 ft-lbs. On the #4 power setting a 69 grain hollow point is getting around 1050fps. Nice expansion, exploded first milk jug and captured in...

I love my 1894 Marlin. Skinner receiver site with fire sight fiber front sight makes it very quick into action.

I started both girls around 6 years old: The oldest one is in college and wants to get her ccw when she turns 21. The youngest one is 16 and can shoot a tick off a coons arse with a rifle, but has taken an interest in handguns... and is quite good. This is her shooting some pretty...

I agree that the cross bolt safety is unneeded. It is as unwelcome on a levergun as a turd in a punch bowl. Get a safety delete. I converted mine to a saddle ring.

On the Marlin quality control problems, they (Remlin/Marlington) have improved from a few years ago. In 2013 I looked at one at our local store. Barrel was canted to the right and the sight wasn't centered. The action did not even cycle once the screws were tightened. I saw a 336 in 30-30...

For the lead free rounds that do stabilize in the 1:16 twist I use 14.4 grains (yes...it's a compressed load) of Lil Gun with a 30 grain Barnes Varmint Grenade at 3350 ft/sec. Here in the PRK we are stuck with the lead free crap. I prefer v-max for squirrel popping, over the Varmint Grenade.

If lead ever gets banned, I'll ignore the ban.

Inside the confines of my home, 1 shot of 00bk will shred flesh and bone sufficiently well to stop an attacker if I do my part and my aim is true. I'm not sure there is really much to talk about with shotguns, just like in carpentry there really isn't much to say about claw hammers...they are...

Are you talking about a duckbill choke?

2 years with my SX3 without problems, so far. Very easy to clean.

I think you are throwing a hardware question out there for a software issue. The M4 is a fine shotgun, as are all the shotguns mentioned above. I have a Benelli Super Nova, Rem 870, and Ithaca 37's and all of them are reliable. That being said, here is my HD shotgun (it now wears a flash...

I much prefer the Bisley grip frame over the standard Blackhawk. You will just have to try it. only you can answer the question on if you might prefer the larger grip.

I like just good ol' Remington Express @ Wally world. The Plain Jane Winchester 9 pellet 00 buck should work well too. Whichever full power 00 Buck I can get the cheapest.

I have an older (1990 vintage) 1894 in .357 mag and I love it. I don't know what the going price is these days, though.

Deaf, it was shredded rubber mulch. 90# of the material was around 20-30 bucks at home depot. It was never my intent to use the media as anything other than a bullet trap/target to recycle lead as cheaply as possible. In 38/357 I found expansion and penetration to be very similar to that...
