I need one of these

Had mine for 10 years now. Still love it. Still fits me and I still hit more targets with it than any other gun I own. One ounce and I have had words before but I still stick to my gun! My Red Label rocks and I still shoot sporting clays with it. It went back to the factory once for ejector...

If the barrel says smokeless powder steel then its probably not damascus but the chamber length definately needs to be considered. I would have a gunsmith check it though. I have an old Winchester M1912 that has the 2 9/16 chamber so I buy the 2 1/2 shells for it. Not a big deal. If you...

Like most older reloaders I have used powder that was sitting around for 30 years or more with perfect results. Just trying to glean some basic information from your post I gather that after roughly 20 years it should become suspect. How about boxes of .22s your grandfather had that you just...

That is a deal for Cabelas. I love the store but its not usually my first choice for loading supplies due to the price.

Really, the guy is asking a question and when it comes to firearms no question is dumb! Better to ask than not and then do something that causes a ND.

I'm sure you can have the sights removed by a good gunsmith if you like and a bead put on. One shotgun that I wish I had back was a 20ga Wingmaster with two barrels. The slug barrel with the sights saw double duty as my deer barrel and my HD gun at night. Why do we sell the guns we...

Single sixes are just about the most fun you can have with a gun and that sure is a purty one!:)

Just started reloading the .410 due to the high price of shells. I love to shoot my Model 42 but it has been so expensive to do so until now. The .410 is quirky to reload because its so tiny but definately makes up for it in cost savings. What does a box of STS go for now? Last I saw was @...

I know for sure that I can dry fire my Ruger Red Label. This is copied off their website under FAQs. Can I dry fire my Ruger shotgun? Yes. All Ruger shotguns can be dry fired without damage, and dry firing can be useful to familiarize the owner with the firearm. However, be sure any...

Six but my son told me the other day I need another Model 12:)

I think you need to shoot it before you sell it because once you shoot it you won't want to sell it. Everybody needs at least one Model 12!:cool:

Looks to be very nice for the age and what has been said above is pretty much correct. Depends on the area of the country for some reason but 4-6 hundred is about right. The reason the finish is a little off color is because of the nickel. The blue just didn't hold as well on the high nickel...

I've got a 12ga RL and I too needed a little more LOP. I added a pachmayr decelerator which added almost an inch over that little weeny thing they put on there from the factory. The difference for me was amazing. Gun fit better and the pad needed very little grinding. It was made to fit the...

I have a Red Label and the barrel selector/safety will not switch barrels if the button is in the fire position. That is the design. If this gun does switch in the fire position it needs to be sent back to Ruger. They have worked on my gun once and it pretty much came back rebuilt and...
