    More of my flea market finds

    I don't think that is normal. I honestly don't remember mine ever doing that either. I doubt I even used the half-cock function. Good luck with yours and thanks for the post.

    More of my flea market finds

    I had a 12ga model 9478 back in the early 80s. I liked it and hunted often with it. I never had any problem with the trigger guard, nor with the break-down button in front of the trigger guard. When I was transferred overseas, I sold it for $50. Wish I still had it. I thought it was a...

    Unique GP100 Here

    I have a GP-100 in .38 Special (Model GPF-841, Blued, 4"). Out of curiosity, I just tried to chamber a .357 and it would not go in all the way. I can clearly see throats at the end of the chambers. The .357 stops with about 1/8" sticking out.

    Sentimental Guns

    I have a Remington Model 514 .22 single shot that I received for Christmas of 1964. I was 10 years old at the time and my parents got it with S&H Green Stamps (if you are old enough to remember those). I still have it and it still looks brand new. It went overseas with me for a tour of duty...

    Mossberg/Maverick bent cartridge stop?

    I have a Mossberg and mine is flush with the receiver, except for the cartridge stop itself. So, I would say yours is definitely bent. Would probably be easier to just order a new part instead of trying to bend it back into correct form. Hope this helps.
