    The 7 round, 686, 357 vs the 6 round model

    I have owned a 686+ 7 shot revolver for about 8 years. Many rounds through it. Currently use it in shooting the local steel matches. The trigger pull is fantastic for a stock only revolver, no action work to it. I would recommend this to any one. I also believe the double action trigger...

    steel challenge .22 semi auto

    I run the local SCSA match once per month for the past two years. You do not need a highly accurate gun, so any typcial .22 lr will do fine. Reliability is really the most important aspect, along with good sights. Although 22 conversions are great, I have witnessed more issues with reliabilty...

    1911 Platform Grip Safety Affecting Trigger Pull

    On the 1911 Platform, when I measure the trigger pull without the grip safty, it measures one level. When I add the grip safty and measure the trigger pull again, it changes upward 3 to 4 ounces of trigger pull. The question, what could be rubbing internally (my assumption) causing this...

    870 express

    This is what I did. I had measured the chamber diameter an earlier 870 Wingmaster which ran any ammo through it. The chamber was .001" larger in diameter then the 870 Express I just bought. Ran a brake hone and then steel wool and the problem went away.

    What to Use for Polishing Chamber

    Gentlemen thanks for the input. Yes it is Wally World type Winchester Shot Shells. And yes they are cheap, but a defense type shotgun should work with any 12 gauge shotshell, but apparently not. But, my older 870 has no problem with them. I did call Remmington. They wanted me to send it to...

    Has the Remington 870 Reputation for reliability been ruined in this decade???

    I am one of those that have a Rem 870 from earlier. It has yet to not extract or work, period. I am an RO at the local range. I witnessed a new remington 870 being function tested. It had definite extraction problems. It was the express verision with the parkerized finish. I too have...
