SP101. I sold my S&Ws for Rugers. I couldn't be happier.

I think the biggest question in this whole debate is: "Which weapon characteristic is most important for a dynamic home defense scenario with an adversary trying to kill me back?" Is it so-called knock down power, capacity, speed of followup shot, maneuverability, ect...? That is the...

I want to hear the most up to date thinking on this subject. I know this has been discussed before. However, sometimes thinking on tactics evolve over time. And, sometimes new posters can add things that have not been considered before. Which do you prefer? Please assume the following...

I spoke to a local gunsmith today. They are a factory authorized repair center for Remington. He says this is an extremely common problem. If the gun I buy has this problem, they will repair it for free under warranty. Remington just might be making him rich.

The burr on the chamber mouth is what I am hearing as the biggest problem. Maybe it is another area Remington is cutting corners - chamber finishing.

I had an earlier post about the difficulty finding a synthetic 870 express. That problem is solved. HOWEVER, I am overwhelmed at the number of internet posts regarding quality problems with new 870s. I had read about the massive quality problems with the Remington 700 line. I didn't think...

I don't have the faith in upper management types that you do. I have been around them too much. Many companies exist largely on the nostalgia of their their past history and brand recognition. Instead of actually selling what the customer really wants, they sell what they want to sell. A...

I have never had one single problem with my Benelli Shotguns. I am kind of a worst case scenario type of a guy. I was thinking a backup gun wouldn't be a bad idea. Maybe I should consider a Wingmaster. But, they are twice the price and kind of defeat the whole concept of an inexpensive...

Armedbear, I agree. The 870 is not the perfect gun. The reason for purchasing the gun is twofold. First, it would be used as a backup gun that could be left in the car when we hunt duck, quail, chukar, ect.. with our nice Benelli Shotguns (I have a pair of 12 guage M1S90s and a pair of 20...

I hear you guys about the "buy used" approach. But, it makes me not want to buy their product because they are SO STUPID. This isn't rocket science. It should be an off the shelf product.

What I don't get is why some genius in their marketing department decided to drop the TWO MOST POPULAR VERSIONS OF THIS GUN? The two most useful versions of this gun in 12g are: Synthetic stocked 26"/28" express A simple (non-laminate) wood stocked 26"/28" express

I used to own a 12g 28" synthetic 870 express. I sold it for a Benelli M1S90 over 10 years ago. Just today, I went in to look at picking up an 870 for my son. I was amazed. I had heard Remington has done some crazy things lately. But, I was astonished to find out that their current...

The tactical knobs seem like they would catch on more things in the field.

SWMP40, considering you have not shot a rifle or shotgun, you did real well on your selection of guns. Your caliber and scope selection was good too. If you really get into the hunting thing, you will be amazed at the good times and adventures that will come. You certainly have two fine...

It has grease, not oil. M1 thumb only happens to people who don't properly lock the bolt back.

It does it with a variety of clips. The round is on the right side of the clip.

I have the following problem all of a sudden with my M1 Garand. I press down on the clip as I am loading it into my rifle. The bolt releases. But, it does not go forward because I am still applying pressure to the clip (as expected). When I release pressure on the clip, it moves forward as...

I will give a different spin on things. I like the Garand MUCH better. It has some major advantages over the M14: 1. Ammo is easier to carry. Enbloc clips can be stuffed everywhere. 2. Ammo is lighter to carry. No magazine weight. 3. Enbloc clips are faster to reload. 4. Box...

Thanks!

Can someone with a ballistics program help me out? I have a 16" Mini-14. The rear sight is such that I could only get it to sight in 1.5" low at 25 yards. I could not raise the POI. The ammo is PMC Bronze ammo, FMJ. Can anyone tell me what the trajectory will look like at 100 yards...
