The gun is getting enough gas to cycle the action rearward and eject shells. In fact a majority of the time I dont have any problems what so ever. Its just that every so ofter the bolt locks back with a shell on the carrier like the shell being released from the magazine didnt have enough...
I have a used 1100 that I picked up from a local shop for dirt cheap. I had the barrel chopped to somewhere around 20"-21". I'm having a bit of trouble getting the gun to cycle completely.
The gun cycles fine most of the time but on occasion the bolt will lock back when there is a shell...
Here is the 870 that I picked up for $160. I've since added a Wilson 2rnd extension, High vis follower, and big head safety. Lots of work to do on it still.
I just got through installing two Vang Comp Big Head Safeties in my two 870's. One 870 is in my hunting gun, the safety should be great in the goose pit when wearing gloves. The other went in my home defense gun. Installation is extremely easy. Each took less than 15 minutes to install from...
I sense allot of 870 envy in this thread :) I just got a 870 Express Synthetic with 28" barrel today for my birthday. Along with a luninox watch and starlite rifle case :)
I wanted a shotgun for both bird hunting and home defense. So I bought a 870 Synthetic with 26" barrel to start with. First, can I fire slugs from this factory barrel? Second, does anyone sell a 18" barrel that takes changable chokes?
A gun that falls into water will fire fine. Most cartridges are sealed and are fine submerged in water for a short amount of time.
I sweat allot and have never had any problems with rust. I carry parkerized and stainless firearms. I will usually take the gun apart once a weak to clean it...
I think what scares people is seeing the hammer cocked back. It looks like it could just go off. I've carried a 1911 in condition 1 for years and never had a problem. Think of the cocked hammer on a 1911 like a cocked DA pistol. My 1911 in condition 1 is no more dangerous than my wifes Kahr...
What are the differences? I used to own a EAA Witness in 9mm and absolutely loved the gun and wouldnt mind getting something similar. The CZ's in another thread look exactly like my old witness. Are the CZ's better quality?
Yes but the 700 Sendero in 300 mag, which is exactly like the VS with a long action, has been discontinued. Add to that the fact that I'm getting the PSS for less than I can get a new Sendero and it only has 40 rounds through it and you end up with one heck of a deal :) I prefer yhe bigger...
Well it looks like I will have my 700 PSS next week. My question is this. What does the PSS stand for? Some have said Police Sniper Special but I know that to not be true.
