    This is a gas port, right?

    First time semi-auto shotgun buyer here. Just picked up a used Beretta A300, and I see this black spot inside the barrel. I ran a wood dowel over it, and it is definitely below the surface of the barrel, and rough. Because it is at the piston area, I'm guessing this is a gas port? (Maybe...

    Accuracy of Manufacturers Ballistic Data

    Has anyone here chrono'd stock ammo and compared it to the FPS that the manufacturers claim? I don't have access to a chronograph, but I'm interested in buying an XR turret for my Nikon scope and I'd like to know what the general margin of error for the manufacturers' claims. Thanks!

    Identifying a Winchester 54

    Hi all, I just picked up a winchester 54 that I'll be using for hunting. Out of curiosity, I want to figure out the rarity of my configuration (or what someone has altered in the past). It was manufactured in 1936. Serial number 48669A (off the top of my head). The forend has a black...
