Hey everyone.
My brother in law bought a shotgun (not sure from what sort of source but probably private sale). Haven’t been able to find much info on it.
It’s in pretty poor condition, but you can make out Universal “Doublewing” 2018 12ga stamped on the rib. Left barrel stamp says made in...
Lol glad to hear it’s not just me. I’m a pretty big guy and I was concerned that if I hit them any harder, I’d bend the barrel or cause some other damage.
I didn’t want to unintentionally imply anything bad about the company based on my own lack of knowledge of the pins. I have a lot of respect for the company - not just their work but what they stand for. I’d rather not say, but if there’s some specific reason you’re wondering, shoot me a DM and...
Evidently a friend of a friend is an actual gunsmith, and said this is normal and how they’re supposed to be installed. Other than cosmetically butchering it (even though it will be hidden beneath the new rail), totally safe to shoot. Guess I’m officially a fudder of guns. For shame.
I've had an AR with A2 front sight and clamshell handguard for a few years, and finally decided to convert it to a free float rail.
I had a heck of a time removing the gas block taper pins. I'm talkin two hours of trying to gently grind the heads of the pins and then tapping (read: banging the...
I’m sorry, I don’t understand option 1 (eek). What do you mean by “with a collar?” Are those in the pic not threaded adapters?
I sent a message to the smith asking about the 5/8-24 threads, but haven’t received a response yet. It seems like 9/16-24 would be preferred over 1/2-28? I really don’t...
I’ve got a Tikka 308 with a muzzle diameter of 0.650. I’ve done some research and evidently that diameter is insufficient to safely have the muzzle threaded 5/8-24. I learned that I can have my barrel threaded 1/2-28 and use a 1/2-28 to 5/8-24 adapter, and this seems like a good solution. I’ve...
I don’t want one, but that’s just because I don’t really use my shotgun much and didn’t see a reason for it. But I assumed that the military or LE communities who use the shotguns I was referencing in the OP would want more capacity. Now I understand why that’s not the case lol.
Thanks for all...
Just came across a belt-carrier product designed to assist a shooter with rapidly moving shells from belt to shotgun, and it lead me to wonder why all the manufacturers of the world’s finest shotguns still use a tube feed design instead of detachable magazines.
At least in shotguns designed for...
I’m wondering if anyone here has had the experience of filing an insurance claim for firearms or related items after a house damage issue (flood/fire) or theft. Are these sorts of items commonly covered by homeowners insurance? Or are there specific insurance companies that I should inquire...
Maybe my sorta-limited experience with different types of knives was a contribution to my naïveté on the subject. For instance, I’ve only ever owned fixed blade knives or “basic” folding knives with a lock-back design. Never owned a flipper, assisted-opening knife, etc. At any rate, I appreciate...
As far as the possibility of catching the blade and cutting oneself with a tip-up knife, I can see how that might be an issue depending on the knife. With my tip-up Spyderco, the blade is facing my rear when it sits in my pocket. So even if it wasn’t fully closed, I couldn’t possibly cut myself...
Asking why someone does something a particular way is bold?? The “not wanting to start an argument” bit was basically to say “for those of you who carry tip-down, I’m not attacking you - I’m asking why you do it. As in, what are the advantages over tip-up (which seems to me to have clear...
Not to start an argument here, but why would anyone ever carry a “tactical folding knife” in the tip-down configuration? Years ago, when I got my first Spyderco, the idea of tip-up carry seemed foreign and sketchy. It was my first knife with a pocket clip so I had never considered the option at...
I have no reason to assume you’re inexperienced in any way, but just throwing some things out to consider...
Have you (the OP) ever used pepper spray? Outside? In a closed room? Ever been sprayed with it, yourself? If not, I strongly suggest buying an extra unit and testing it in those ways...
Arming the average person with a lever gun and leading him to believe he’s well-equipped to respond to violent threats in an urban environment is doing that person a very gross disservice, IMO.
That isn’t to say a lever gun can’t be used to defeat an armed attacker, just that it’s so far from...
I use Warne rings. They met my stringent requirements when looking for a set of rings, which were as follows:
(1) They must be scope rings
(2) Should hold the scope securely
(3) Must look super cool
(4) Cost less than the rifle
They have done all those things without issue, except for looking...
We’ll both be using angle-compensating rangefinders to get our range, so we’ll be sure to adjust for the correct angle-compensated range prior to taking our shots. My brother has a couple tags and I just have the one. We did hunt antelope together a couple years ago in the same GMU (I was along...
