    My Wierd Gun Rant

    Here's a short list of common gun opinions or myths, and my responses to them. #1 The rem 11 is a Browning A5 "copy" or "knock off". No, Remington did not pay royalties to Belgium or any such thing. John Browning first approached Remington with the design. The president of Remington died...

    Raising Dings/Dents in the wood

    If the wood fibers are NOT cut or severed a dent can often be raised with steam. A damp cloth spread over the dent with a hot iron pressed against it. But the finish on the stock only gets in the way. My advice is to refinish the stock in a few years(or whenever you want). That would be a good...

    Rifles for Turkey Hunting

    "Find that in a proper manual or make it up? I'd be thinking much lighter bullets, like a 110 or so. One 115 grain TB load on Reloader's Nest running 960 FPS."

    Why aren't there more smoothbore .22's?

But you could do the same with a 410 and the right handload. At one time Marlin was selling a 22mag smoothbore they called the "Garden Gun".

    Remington 11 recoil spring

    Hi, I am wondering if you can use a Browning recoil spring on a Rem 11(the spring that goes over the mag). I have a 1927 12ga with a 5 shot mag. I have checked Numrich, Brownells, Midway, Ebay, Ahlmans, ect without finding a replacement. I've seen a good number people claiming they've done this...
