I got a response from Remington and they offered to add the ball detent free of charge. I am just responsible for shipping to the factory in Illion. Glad I stopped here to ask..... Only thing that was a little odd is that my 870 is a 1991 Model and still required the ball detent. I was...

Looks like I will use an O-Ring to keep it snug over the weekend and then take it to the Gunsmith. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving! Pat

It is a Remington Barrel. Just strange that it does not have the metal bead that locks the cap on.

Quick 870 Question. I recently purchased a slug barrel for my 870 Wingmaster. Everything looked OK, but once I out the barrel on I noticed that the end cap did not seem to screw down all the way. Barrel remained slightly loose. I took a closer look and noticed that the ring where the...

Finally got out to the range this afternoon with the Gibbs Jungle Carbine and a box of 180 Grain Winchester Power Points. I was pleasantly surprised with the rifle. We were shooting at 50 Yards with the iron sights and I found it very accurate. Maybe I was just excited, but the recoil also...

My brother who is a Captain in the 82nd Airborne is going with me to the range to show me how it shoots. If I get comfortable with it I may give it a try some AM when I spend a few hours sitting. For still hunting, and hiking I think I will probably stick with the 870 this season. As...

Thanks. I found the Winchester .303 - 180 Grain (Power Point). Is this a good round for deer hunting?

Guess I will take it to the range and give it a try.... Thanks!

The rifle is a Gibbs - 303 Jungle Carbine. I would like to give it a try in the woods now that we are able to use rifles. I did read some negative posts on Gibbs. I think I will take it to the range and decide for myself. Thanks for the feedback, Pat

Someone recently gave us a Gibbs - 303 Jungle Carbine Rifle. I searched some older threads and seemed to find only bad stuff on it. My shooting experience thus far has been limited to .22 cal rifles and Shotguns. I know I can't beat the price (free), but is this a gun I should be...

First post here, glad to find the site. I am hoping to get back deer hunting this year after a few years off. The place we hunt in NY just switched from Shotgun Only to Shotgun/Rifle. My question, I have always previously used a 12ga. 870 with Slug Barrel. My brother was recently given a...
