master blaster! i got the 624 lh. i had a taurus titanium .44 special that i backpacked w/. the taurus was ok for what it's intended purpose was but brutal to shoot. i don'tg get oout to the woods much anymore. pushin' 60 and don't wander the woods anymore when i did it was usually solo and...

well i got the 624 lh! in hindsight i'm glad it played out this way. i'll never be w/o a .44 special and for my needs this gun fills the bill. baseline thinking is that this is 1 that'll only get more valuable. once the shock is absorbed by wifey i'll start the slush fund up for a pre lock...

i figured i could carry either for defense. did all the mountain guns come w/ the lock? is the lock easily defeated or disabled like on a springer 1911? thanx for your input guys. leaning toward the horton right now but will probably go back and forth a few more times.

thanx critter. good points. i'm still up in the air. i read somewhere that the old smiths didn't hold up well to a steady diet of magnums. i wouldn't be shooting mags much anyway but something to consider i guess. i'll just see how the price dickering goes on both and go from there.

i'm considering both these guns. they're priced about the same-+ 600 bucks. the lh is a 3". i'll be carrying this gun. fan of .44 special and will shoot the special primarily. like a magnum for backcountry. mountain gun just looks Right! altho the lh ain"t too shabby either. anyone own...

thanx boys i broke the firing pin right after i got it dry firing it a couple times on the empty chamber. that's why i was hesitant to let the new firing pin take a pop w/o the snap cap. thanks again, rick

hi all new to pump shotguns and just got an old wingmaster. what's the correct way to store the gun? action open? action closed,trigger released,snap cap in the chamber? action closed, trigger not released? action closed,trigger released on empty chamber? or none of the above...

getting ready to buy an upper for hi power. i'd like to be able to load 69 gr sierras .005 of the lands. will the wylde chamber allow this or the.223 rem? also can i shoot lake city brass in a .223 rem chamber w/ the bullet .005 off the lands? thanx, rick

shot my 1st hi power service rifle match today at ft knox. what a great bunch of guys out there. went way out of their way to help me achieve a decent score [ can you beleive i didn't tote up the 4 individual score cards] but i shot somewhere around 500 w/ my danish var garand and korean ball...
