I would opt for a new barrel and that gives you both a short barrel for HD and a longer barrel for sporting use.

You could probably remove the magazine spring retainer, which would release the spring. Per the manual: Here's a link to a page that links to a video that might help: http://mrcompletely.blogspot.com/2005/11/mossberg-500-12-gauge-shotgun.html Google "Mossberg 500 shotgun manual" and...

Actually, a regular pencil won't necessarily work in Mossberg 500, at least in my test. Not that it won't fit; it will. It's just too short with 2-3/4" shells. I was able to load 3 shells with a standard, unsharpened pencil. The length of the magazine tube on the 5-round Mossberg 500 is...

The "proper" way? That's one way, but calculating homcides per guns leads to the conclusion that more guns lead to more homicides.

The most reliable crime statistic IMO is the murder rate. This is the least likely to be subject to differing interpretations and the most likely to be recorded as a crime statistic. And it's also the most serious crime. One source I found is NationMaster.com. According to that site...

Jeff Cooper on springs “Taking A Set” "From Johnny Shoemaker we hear of a 1911 pistol which had resided in Condition 1 since its owner’s death in 1929 – all springs compressed. It functions perfectly today, together with all of its ammunition. This does not surprise me since I had a similar...

Not really. The plating is measured in thousandths of an inch, and the substrate is still lead. The real benefit of plating is that it reduces the friction between pellets, allowing the pellets to flow more smoothly. Less friction can translate into less deformation. Deformation of the...

From PoliceOne.com: I will add the following: There are a lot of sharp edges in many of these pumps. In particular, avoid sliding your finger on the edges. Tap gingerly with your fingertip to figure out where it is inside the action. Don't just slide it around in there.

Just keep in mind that circumstances differ. Where I live the air is dry (San Jose is classified as a semi-arid region). A humid region (or humid storage area) could give quite nasty results. And from what I've read, some people have acid in their fingerprint oil, which can start the...

After shooting and when it's time to go home, I take off the barrel or barrels and run my Tico Tool through, which removes all the loose burnt carbon. The Tico Tool looks like a giant pipe cleaner, and I keep one in the trunk of my car. Then I spray some Breakfree CLP onto the oiler (like a mop...

Oh, I can think of another use. We can inject turkey shoot barrels into the "Is birdshot suitable for HD?" debates.

Because as far as I know *only Ithica fires as you slam the slide forward if you are holding the trigger down*. I have read (but don't know for sure) that the old Winchester model 12's had this feature. Don't know if current models still do.

I find that the Federals burn cleaner (and smell better) than the Winchesters. My Remington 1100 needs less cleaning with the Federals. From the 16-yard line in trap, I don't think you're going to be able to tell much difference between any of these and premium ammo. --Rick

Post on pistol grips My bad. The High Road is in some respects a continuation of The Firing Line, and it turns out that the post I remembered was made there, not here. Here's the link: http://www.thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=132965&highlight=pistol BTW, I edited my...

Re: Pistol Grips Dave made an interesting post on pistol grips on shotguns some time ago. You might want to check it out. Let us know if your experience is different. --Rick P.S. If I were to modify my Mossy, it would be with a tactical light like SureFire...

"I am sorry Dave, that you didnt want to answer my question, but rather attempt to demonstrate to me and everyone else, that my question was stupid, my wants are stupid, and that you will just take my thread in a different direction." You misunderstood. If you click on Dave's profile and...

Mine is made by T&S. Although I bought it years ago, I think this brand is still being sold in gun stores. It's a sheet metal clip that snaps on (and can be snapped off) in less than a second. It doesn't leave a mark on the blueing. I leave it in the pocket of my shooting vest, and if I need...

The rule that I quoted only applies to ATA competition. --Rick
