Backstory: I purchased a case of this 7.62x39 at a gun show. It was advertised as Portuguese, non-corrosive. Upon doing some initial homework I thought I had my bases covered. It wasn't until later that I found some other info that put doubt in my head. I have searched other gun boards as...

A History of Violence: a movie with a message Mods: the self-defense portrayed in this movie is almost exclusively carried out with a variety of firearms. Several autoloaders and a SxS shotgun. Most of the "graphic" shots in the movie are a result of gunfire and the make-up crew for this movie...

My fiancee and I were watching TV last night around 10:30p. The doorbell rang. Then it rang again. I had my KelTec in my hand and chambered in less than a second. I did not answer the door, as it is uncommon for our neighborhood. We don't have any kids around that ding-dong-ditch people and all...

In comtemplating the reduction of a SxS barrel, I have come across some different opinions regarding the space between the barrels. Some say fill it with hard lead alloy. Others say leave it alone. I need to know: 1. Is there any danger in just leaving it alone? a. Will the barrels...

I was reading an old thread about reducing the length of shotgun barrels and one comment in there got me thinking. It was something to the effect of, "Cutting double barrels is illegal because the ATF considers that altering the serial number." That's paraphrased of course. At any rate, the...

My aunt moved into an old house in Dallas and found a 550-1 in the attic. She gave it to me, as she knows I'm interested in shooting. I have no experience with a rifle like this (age, model, condition). To give a quick run-down: A. Surface rust and some pitting along the length of the barrel...

Guys, help me out here. I already conducted a search and found some but not enough info on 870 finishes. When I took it out of the safe, one of my shotguns had a small rust spot on the outside of the receiver and a fair amount of fluffy rusty coating around the actual spot. :what: I clean...

Ok, I've tried to do my homework searching previous threads so as to prevent a repeat. I found info on cutting single barrels and crowning them. I found info on cutting double barrels but no crowning info. My Question: When cutting down a SXS barrel, can each barrel be crowned or will the...

Correct me if I'm wrong: 1. With shotgun unloaded (triple checked) and the bolt locked to the barrel, carefully insert dowel or similar shaped rod into barrel from muzzle. 2. Ensure that the dowel has made it all the way back to the bolt face and then mark the rod at the edge of muzzle...

I know many feel a pistol grip is of limited use. Still others maintain they are completely useless. I'm willing to entertain notions on both sides of the line. My reason for asking: I may have already mentioned somewhere else on THR that I am in the process of planning a custom-built nightstand...

I posted this on GT. Just trying to be "comprehensive" about it. This is regarding a certain pistol grip and a certain short ribbed forend, made by different companies, both allegedly "made" for the Remington 870. Only after a great deal of Dremel TLC have I been able to install both parts...

I see that there is a sticky on how to pattern. Really enjoyed it. Kudos to you, Dave. I would be interested to know how tightly everyone's on-hand home defense shotgun/shotshell combo patterns. If enough respond, it should yield some interesting and useful statistical info. Try to list all...
