    Anyone else having trouble with Rio / Royal Buck?

    i kinda dont want to point out something, but it seems like the mossberg pump users have the most issues with that ammo. i shoot tons of the rio stuff, cheap #8 and expensive high brass #6, also that Royal Buck #4 buck and never have a problem with it, except in my very old, and very used...

    Remington 37

    The 37 is a wonderful rifle. i grabbed one on the cheap a couple of years ago and it got a 14x unertl too. the reason mine was cheap is because some bubba moron had a smith cut the barrel down to about 20" or 21" and thread it. Which is interesting. I do have another barrel for it if i ever want...

    Mini 14 vs. AR15

    the mini-14 typically fails in the accuracy realm without major inhancements. Ruger acknowledged this by its "accurized" version where they hang some sort of barrel weight off the end. had a mini-14 for many years, some year ago. owning it at the same time i owned my first Colt AR. wanted to...

    Clint Smith on the Mossberg Shockwave

    i think the interesting thing about the shockwave is that there was already a shotgun, that does everything it can do in the exact same length package, with twice the capacity (not even mounting mini-shells), with a shoulder stock. the shockwave weighs less, of course, but it will anyway with...

    Ithaca M37 Trench Gun?

    The Ithaca 37 had the longest production run of any pump shotgun in the history of the earth. In other words, they are not rare. but good, clean versions are harder to come by as many people are holding onto them because they are an excellent handling and shooting gun. Beat up examples can be...

    Ok to store loaded 10/22 Magazines?

    well, lets make sure we are talking apples to apples here. My statement is geared toward modern manufacturing and metalurgy. Many of those old classics used flat springs, had rust (which would effect the way it handles stress) and grease/dirt build up, and the mag springs will not perform the...

    Ok to store loaded 10/22 Magazines?

    physics says the only thing that wears out springs is cycling them through their design range. over extending them will do it also, but in a magazine, its limited to exactly the length and compression length that it was designed for. so no, you cant wear out springs just by keeping them...

    Can you change the length of pull on them? Looks kinda short like it would be tough to seat correctly against your shoulder

    budget over under

    maybe, they are both not very good guns. only plus to the yildiz is that you get be familiar with academy and their warranty on them. you take your borken gun to them, they give you a new one. ive seen atleast 3 failures of yildiz at sporting clays tournaments. between the 4 guys i know that...

    Browning superposed

    can you tell me the serial number of the gun? that will go a long way in determining exactly what you have and what it used to be, and what it would go for in pristine condition. if thats a pre-war super with aftermarket vent rib added, thats a horse of another color. also, do some real...

    Browning superposed

    ill be the one to say he paid about what that gun was worth. someone ruined any collector value in it when they cut the long trigger tang in half. also, it looks like the forearm wood fit is poor, as there is a significant gap where the forearm meets the receiver. cant see the top lever...

    Remington 870 Mag Tube extension

    question: did you remove the two retainer "tabs" inside your factory tube? This should be done or you wont get the correct capacity because the spring and follower cant compress all the way past them and into the extension. I did the exact same extension on an 870 mag and had to remove those...

    Emotional Rollercoaster - Picking up my SiCo Sparrow

    may i suggest Jim Pixley? http://jpgrips.com/ i had him turn down the barrel warning writing, cut the barrel to 4.5", thread, make a thread protector that matches barrel OD, and set back the front sight. great work, quick turnaround. very pleased with the end product.

    Remington 37 thoughts

    i recently acquired one that had been abused in a bad way. not neglect, but someone cut the barrel down and threaded it. Which is really a sacrilege, and is something i would never willingly do, BUT, since i am an aficionado and appreciator of accurate rimfire rifles from the last century and i...
