    Thoughts and Prayers

    A Man Like No Other Dave selflessly coached me at the 5-stand at the Prince George's Trap and Skeet center in Maryland when I started out with a new 870 express in 2010. At 30 years of age, I was new to gun ownership and had only shot a few times prior. I had very little firearms experience or...

    First gun?..

    I prefer over-under so I can toss the empties easily. Also, I'm not a fan of a shell catcher for semi-autos. Seems like it would throw off my swing. For range shooting you only ever need two in your clay buster. I vote over-under. I use a Beretta Silver Pigeon II, but I like your...

    Thanks for turning me on to the Brownells site. That looks to be a great store.

    Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon trigger assembly

    I don't plan on dismantling the trigger assembly, I just want to clean as you suggest. I don't take my 870 express trigger apart either. Just spray, blow with compressed air, wipe, spray, wipe. Then clean the compartment and surrounding area. That is one narrow slit for the main screw. You...

    Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon trigger assembly

    Thank you friends. I will likely not dive too deep. I've had a little experience with fly springs so I'll probably leave it to the professionals.

    Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon trigger assembly

    Bingo! I think they're #55 and #78. Before I try this, can you tell me if there is a specific tool required? Are they reverse threads? What else can you tell me?

    Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon trigger assembly

    I would like to get into my trigger assembly to clean but there is a screw setup that I've never seen before. On the bottom of the receiver there is a small screw surrounded by a larger screw. Is anyone familiar with this? I expect to hear, "just leave that to a gunsmith." But I'd still like to...

    Shotguns as art

    Thomas Ferney A company new to the States is Thomas Ferney. They are made in Turkey (edit: I'm only sure the wood is Turkish), look great, are hand-made, and won't break the bank. When I went to purchase a Beretta 687 Silver Pigeon :D, the row of Thomas Ferneys really caught my eye. They look...

    Water: Is it a valid ballistic test medium?

    I think this could be a common ground: 1. There are multiple types of ballistics tests using different materials. 2. Each material or medium can show a unique aspect of a bullet's ballistic characteristics. 3. The combined knowledge could be used to compare two different bullets' or...

    Flint or Cap?

    :neener: Yes. A joke. That would make for an inappropriate situation.

    Water: Is it a valid ballistic test medium?

    I agree M-Cameron. Though few of us have access to high speed cameras, like a Phantom. I work in the pro video industry and I can't get one at a reasonable price. The question posed was concerning a "test medium" not a human analog. I disagree with the FBI when they use the language, "tissue...

    Flint or Cap?

    I'm mostly into shotguns but today I'm expanding my horizons. Both flint lock and percussion cap were available during the Civil War, but which was more numerous? What was most common in the Union camps versus the Confederates? I'm thinking I could acquire a newly used Springfield for...

    All around budget shotgun.

    I own a Remington 870 Express. Though I don't hunt and I'm new to the gun world, I would recommend the 870.

    Beretta 686 White Onyx Sporting Fair Price

    A new 686 White Onyx has an MSRP of $2,275. What would be the fair street value? $2,000? Less?

    The SV10 from Beretta for Clays

    I'm looking at the SV10 for my second gun. I've been bitten by the bug. I'm even considering reloading my own in the future. I think I like the selective / smart ejection and the recoil reducer features best. Of course I'll need to feel it first. Any thoughts? BTW, my first is a Remington 870.

    How much shot do you use for trap, skeet or sporting clays?

    A friend and neighbor, Rob just introduced me to 1 oz after a month of heavy 1-1/8th oz usage. My sore shoulder will thank me if I make the switch to 1 oz. Plus, my 870 is less than forgiving in the recoil department on those 150+ shot outings.
