Today I did 47/50 singles and 47/50 doubles with my mossberg 500 pump. It seems that this thing must be too easy, even with the power turned up as high as I could get it to go without breaking too many, I feel like I'm not missing enough. Agreed?

I was wondering if anyone can saying anything about the value of using one of those Winchester Traps in practicing for trap competition. I bought one because I didn't want to join the local club after not shooting for 9-10 years. The first time out I did terrible, but subsequently I've been...

I've had this gun for probably 10-13 years already. This was never an issue before, but I've probably just now gotten >2000 rounds through it. What exactly is the fix? When I look at it, it appears to me that the bolt is actually a little twisted, causing the barrel to turn a bit, but it's...

I've posted about problems I've had with my 11-87 Premier, and they are continuing. This time I've had essentially the same problem I had before. Not the magazine issue, but with the trigger failing (first happened when an unfired round got stuck in the chamber). I've determined now that...

I think I like the Lanber 2097. I think that's what I'll go with. Beautiful looking guns.

I'm trying to find a decent over/under 12g I can use in trap competition for less than 750USD. I could go a bit more, probably, but if there is one in the 500USD range, that'd be awesome. Basically I want to get rid of my 11-87 and replace it with something more suitable for trap. My 11-87...

I didn't know you could buy primers by the 100. I still have about 1500 of them and a bag and a half wads. A friend gave me a few hundred Winchester AA shells, which I'm mostly still using. Would you save the hulls from the walmart cheapos? I didn't bother because I don't like the...

Okay, are you considering real competition? We're probably talking about a difference that won't be measurable until you're into the thousands of rounds. If you prefer the 11-87 overall, you feel more comfortable with it, use it instead. Don't switch because of some possible issues. See if...

I have an old MEC reloader, a really basic one. I started reloading 12g when I started shooting trap a decade ago, but I only shot for 1.5 seasons before I went to college. Now I'm starting to shoot again and started reloading as well. I still have shot and powder from way back then, but it...

I've never had any problem with the copper- it just wipes off when you oil it. In my experience anyway.

Unless you're thinking about serious competition- in which case you're probably going to want a different gun anyway- the gun should be more than adequate. They're great guns. I've done quite well with mine when it works. The stock should make virtually no difference in your shooting for a...

How does a gun which has never even jammed on me cause me so much frustration in such a short time?? On saturday we were shooting and all of a sudden I pull the trigger and nothing happens. It pulls, but no click. Thought maybe I heard wrong and there just wasn't a round in the chamber. Go...

I had a bronze brush I used for this purpose. After our house flooded last fall I grabbed my guns and got them out of there in the middle of the night. One of the cases got a little wet apparently and when we finally got settled somewhere drier, I found that my 11-87 had rust on it. Not bad...

sure they make .25 rim fires - for nail guns.. Not much fun in shooting blanks though, and while I've known a few people who've fired pellets out of ramset 22rf's I don't know anyone intelligent who has done so.

I've seen some people get really heavy handed with those things. I doubt it'd be a safety issue as it is, but if he did go very deep, it might be a safety issue to remove enough metal to erase it and make it look good again. Without a picture it's hard to say, but it's definitely not a job...

Well, surprisingly, it works again. I don't know what I did differently, or if I really did anything different, but it's working again. I've never liked the magazine on that gun, but I've always loved the gun in general. I kind of want to sell it and get an over-under or nice side by side...

I'd be wary about zinc. More than a few blacksmiths have lost their lives heating galvanized metal without really good ventilation.

the head is the metal bit of a usual plastic shell.

I recently broke my 11-87 down for a thorough cleaning (which I've done dozens of times before) and now all of a sudden the magazine is not working. I can't get a round into the magazine- something is catching on the shell to the point that it's gouging the plastic of the shell and getting...

When I was taking down my Savage Model 10, I noticed that there's a hair-line fracture in the front bolt baffle. In the piece there's bit that fits around the bolt, and then a bit of an arm that extends back toward the rear of the rifle. The fracture runs across this 'arm' right where it...
