Awww! I was set on buying the Marlin. Now I'm beginning to have doubts... :D I tried to read as much as I can on the net and on many forums, and from what I read, I got the impression that the Marlin was very precise and a good buy except for the trigger which can be smoothed out or replaced...

Hello, I want to join a group of gopher "regulators" on their next sortie this spring, and they all shoot .17HMR. (No .17Mach2 and no .22 of any kind.) Distance is usually 100-125 yards on a reasonably hilly terrain so they never take very long shots. Local farmers even invite them over for a...

I totally agree! I love the smell of G96 in the morning. It smells like, like freedom. But seriously, I use it on my sharpening stone when I refresh my pocket knife just because I want that smell to follow me all day long.

Would you believe I found one very good Weaver B4 scope on Ebay for 17$ S&H to Canada included? A scope made in the fifties, right when I need one? It was in the mailbox today, and it is crystal clear inside. I must be leading a pretty good life!:)

When I bought my 590, I had visions of a really mean tacticool shotgun with pistol grip, heat shield and all that. I read a lot on this site, and tried to listen to what was said. After I got my Mossberg, I went shooting a few times and shot a few hundred shells to get acquainted, and I...

I have a brand new 590 Mariner with synthetic stock, and as far as I can tell, it's perfectly straight. And a good thing too : I'm a lefty...

Please somebody correct me if Im wrong, but I believe that SG is the English designation for 00 buck at 0.33 in. and SSG is the equivalent of 3 buck at 0.27 in.

Hello all, I have a Weaver B4 scope mounted on a Stevens model 87D .22LR semi-auto rifle. The rifle was not used for something like 25 years and it was displayed over the fireplace in my dad's basement before he gave it to me a few years ago. It was dirty but dry, so I gave it a good cleaning...

Good question I'd be interested to know as well.

My 590 Mariner didn't have a mag plug either. But mine was back ordered so it came almost straight from the factory about two months ago. I guess they come that way.

Not sure if this is good or not, but I can load my 9 shot 590 in 15 seconds flat, starting with the shotgun on the floor with the action closed and loose ammo in a tray, with my eyes closed. I hold my shotgun with my weak hand on the forend and the buttstock under my strong arm, shotgun right...

Good to know it's normal anyway. (In the sense that poor ammunition quality is the cause, and not some mechanical defect in the gun) Is there a way to distinguish ammo quality by looking at the info on the box? I guess the alloy and thickness of the brass is the key here but you can't know...

I was thinking of buying the "Deluxe heat shield with ghost ring sights" from ATI. They require no gun smithing and are not very expensive. But are they any good? http://www.atigunstocks.com/product-mossberg2.html

Thanks for the replies, people, it's appreciated. Since I immediately assumed it was mechanical, I didn't pay attention to what shotshell had been fired. I disassembled and cleaned my shotgun afterward, and I cycled about 100 dummy shotshells through it at home last night. Not a single...

You're lucky! My Aunt was an avid user of self adhesive vinyl films. Her favorite pattern was some fake wood that looked like mahogany. She even covered the whole fridge with the stuff. Maybe I could ask her if she could do my M590 black plastic stock...

We didn't have platoon id or rifle numbers stenciled on the stock of our FN-C1. But I would add that when you sleep, run, eat, work, Sh.., crawl, wait, or whatever with a particular weapon for 3 months straight, you get to a point where you kind of recognize it at a glance 3 out of 4 times...

It happened at least once with Winchester Super-X but I can't remember if all the occurences happened while using that particular ammo. That's the only Winchester ammo we had. I didn't know that a spent shell could get stuck in the chamber but it makes sense. I disassembled my shotgun and...

Hello all, I received my Mossberg 590 Mariner last thursday. Nice marinekote finish, feels very light, looks very sexy. I went shooting this morning with my two nephews in an abandoned sandpit. We shot about 100 shells from 3 manufacturers (Kent, Rem and Win) including 00 buck, BB birdshot...

I recently ordered a 9 shot Mossberg 500 Mariner. Until it arrives, I am researching what ammo I will buy for HD. I found many pages about tactical shotguns and home defense and the general consensus seems to be about the same as in this thread, and that's #1 buckshot, followed closely by #00...

Nothing fancy, just a brand new Baikal IZH-61 five pellet repeater. I like it a lot. http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=46168&d=1160482398 Click image for larger version Name: baikal_izh-61.gif Views: 2 Size: 10.5 KB ID: 46168 ***
