    This guy is NOT the shooter

    He looks like a decent kid, but just got stereotyped as a hateful gun freak on FoxNews.. ..And a damn nice collection of Mosins.

    Had my 2nd Amendment Rights suspended today.

    As the old saying goes; we are who we surround ourselves with. The only question is, do you want to deal with her for another X amount of years, or just get it over with now? More time = more pain. It's cliche, but there are plenty of fish in the sea.

    question about impersonating a cop

    The original intent of your question was to find out whether or not you were culpable if someone asked you if you were a cop and you said "yes". It's quite obvious that you are trying to look and act like a LEO and were just wondering if saying such could land you in trouble. The answer is yes...

    Seeking advice from 870 Police experts

    Anyone have experience with Mossberg-made barrels for the 870? They're relatively inexpensive, is that reflected in the quality?

    Benelli and remington nitro loads

    I also prefer the Nitros and most other Remington shells with the smooth/slick plastic hulls.

    Freedom loving gun-owner seeks political party…

    Only if you have aspirations of sipping watered-down lemonade out of a styrofoam cup, while dreaming about the way the country should be. In other words, you'll end up in high-school gymnasiums or similar with the few like-minded folks in your area, championing some third party with not a chance...

    870 Capacity - why only 6+1?

    I don't know when the Winchester 1300, Mossberg 500, or Benelli Nova series became less than reliable options, but we'll leave that to another thread.. It's not as if we're going to cram 8 shells in and never test the gun for reliability. Also, spring strength is more about how many times a...

    870 Capacity - why only 6+1?

    That's exactly the answer I was looking for. Explains it perfectly. Thanks, dfariswheel. __________ Because I like to tinker - I'm thinking of slightly shortening an 870 mag-spring in order to lessen the compression just enough to cram one more round in (using an aftermarket tube without the...

    870 Capacity - why only 6+1?

    True, but if that crimp below the clamp were not there to obstruct the follower, I believe that one more shell would still fit. Example: Winchester Defender - 18" bbl - 8 shot http://www.winchesterguns.com/prodinfo/catalog/detail.asp?cat_id=512&type_id=209&cat=012C Also, line up seven 2-3/4...

    870 Capacity - why only 6+1?

    The 5+1 model is irrelevant to the question.

    870 Capacity - why only 6+1?

    Riddle me this: In my 870 HD, the extension tube is crimped a few inches from the end (NOT refering to the dimples), preventing the follower from going back any further and allowing 6 cartridges in the tube. Aftermarket extensions for the 870 are also only "6+1". Mossberg, Winchester, and...

    Quick question regarding 590A1 18.5" and 9shot tube

    Good question. Mag extentions have always been a tricky proposition on the Mossbergs. Best bet: Call Mossberg up directly and ask. http://www.mossberg.com/content.asp?ID=500&section=service

    Picked up a Turkish Escort the other day.

    Indeed. Clicked through on this post because I too was considering the Escort 18" auto.http://www.hatsan.com.tr/escort_ps_guard.asp. After looking things over and talking to a local dealer, I figured that it wasn't worth the risk or the potential hassle of counting parts, getting an ATF...

    HD Shotgun Choices. Help me!

    I've never liked pistol grips or lasers/flashlights/etc on shotguns, so if it were up to me it would certainly be the 590A1. Or you could build your own brand new HD shotgun...

    Bought a new 870

    No, that's a fair price. If it's an 870 then it's most likely 6+1. http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/shotguns/model_870/model_870_express_synthetic_18inch_specs.asp It looks like you still have a chance to consider all options, so I'll just let you know that Winchester's 1300...

    Where's a good FFL in Phoenix for Transfers?

    Funny because the last time I was in there, I was handling a TZ99 (Sig clone) which I was pretty seriously thinking about buying. I was inspecting the gun which was new, looking down the sights, pointing it towards the back of the store(where they keep the compact handguns), etc. This was...

    Winchester White Box Prohibited at Range

    Sounds to me like they don't like being undersold. If they can prevent you from buying inexpensive WWB or Blazer, the greater likelyhood that you will just decide to buy their ammo to avoid the hassle of bringing comparably priced ammo of your own.
