    RIP Tom Knapp

    Got to meet him and shake his hand a couple times in years past. He was a good shot and showman, one of the best and not only with a shotgun. RIP Tom Knapp.

    870 stock options :)

    Its subjective and objective, I didn't like being subjected to the objective recoil when I tried one shooting slugs. I like a more traditional stock on a shotgun, I also really like the Remington Sure-shot stock on one of my slug guns. When you throw that bad boy up to your shoulder you are...

    870 stock options :)

    Its easier for a larger person to adapt to a shorter stock then it is for a smaller person to adapt to a to long stock, especially on a HD slug gun. I don't like the M4 type stocks on a shotgun. I put a youth stock on our bedroom shotgun, it fits the wife better and I have no problem adapting to it.

    How many 22 LR cartridges are sold here in America every year?

    I did the same thing at the Big R in Fallon a few years back when they were closing out CCI Minimags for 2 bucks a hundred for the solids and HP's 1.50 for the standard velocity and 1.00 a box for Stingers. I bought every round they had in the store and it filled up a shopping cart pretty well.

    Hangfires?

    Yea I have had them, and still do every once in awhile. Mostly with old POF or RG .303 British and I have had a few with old 8mm. Most is click bang with the bang happening pretty fast after the click but a couple waited a second or two before they went bang. Its the primers in the rounds, I...

    Ford's Custom Gun Refinishing Wait Time?

    If they still do the same quality of their work that I have seen in the past I think the wait will be well worth it. Their polish work is second to none.

    British Taliban Rifle

    There was a story quite awhile back that the hadji's were dusting off and using the old Enfield's because we were killing a bunch of them before they could get into effective range of their ak's.

    Rifled choke tubes

    I have tested the accuracy of an extended rifled choke tube in my 870 with both foster slugs and sabot slugs. Foster slugs out of the extended rifled tube are more accurate then when shot with a cylinder, improved cylinder or modified choke tube in my shotgun. The extended rifled choke tube...

    Out of curiosity, how much scope would you need to be able to sight a quarter at a 1000 M

    870 Actions

    There is no difference in the ejection port lengths, the receivers on the 2 3/4 and 3 inch guns are the same. the difference is the ejector and ejector spring. You can retrofit a 2 3/4 inch receiver with the magnum ejector and spring and with a 3 inch chambered barrel shoot the 3 inch loads.

    Rifled choke vs smooth bore with slugs

    Generally speaking using a rifled choke tube in my 870 with foster slugs has tightened up the groups with every slug I have tried. 21 inch rifle sighted smooth bore rem choke barrel.

    which is more lethal 55gr @ 3200fps or 62gr @3000?

    Thats because most of the cheap Russian .223 uses a steel jacketed copper washed bullet not a copper jacketed bullet, even the hollow points.

    It has probably been asked....but

    Yea those doors are exit doors, the theaters would rather you exited through those doors then exit back through the lobby.

    My new Enfield, range report

    I'm going to say your ejection problems are probably a weak extractor spring and your feeding issues can be addressed by adjusting the feed lips on your magazine.

    .300 Winchester Mag - what can it do that .30 '06 or .308 can't in Alaska?

    Just use the right slugs in the shotgun, I'm thinking those hard cast Brenneke solids and not your standard foster slugs. I would think slugs would be very effective for big bear defense.

    Has a gun saved your life?

    Salesman or Burglar ?

    They just rounded up a bunch of out of state 'solicitor's' around here on various charges. In the county I live, door to door solicitor's must have a picture ID from the sheriff's department to legally go door to door. Last summer we had a bunch of young girls wearing short shorts and showing...
