    870 Wingmaster

    With the serial number, you can call them and get a date of manufacture but i doubt you would get any more than that.

    Buying a shotgun for a right handed-left eye dominant shooter

    It is well worth the effort to learn to shoot left handed. It took me about 6 months to get up to speed. I shot right handed guns for a number of years with no issues until I ran across an 80's vintage left handed wingmaster with a light contour barrel. I really like having a left handed...

    HK marked Benelli M1 Super 90 magazine spring removal?

    I would check over at the Benelli forums. They were a great help when I had an old HK badged gun. Here is a thread that might get you started. http://forums.benelliusa.com/showthread.php/18782-M1-Super-90-Recoil-Spring

    Left handed rimfires?

    It may not be what you were seeking, but I gave up on the right handed bolt guns and shoot a Remington Fieldmaster. It is fun little pump gun.

    When will the single pocket sized 9mm fad die?

    I have stubby fingers and have trouble with most double stack guns. I am glad there are single stack options. My shield rides nicely IWB.

    Honduras pgo shotguns

    I was in Honduras about 15 years ago for work and don't recall the firearms. What still sticks in my mind was the overwhelming smell of 2-Stroke gasoline.

    Had a great day at the skeet field today

    Thanks Everyone. It was nice to get out there. Shooting well and seeing a few friends that I havent seen in a while made it even better. A few years ago, I moved to 7/8 oz loads and when the pink 3/4 oz claybusters came out and lead hit $40 a bag, I made the switch and never looked back...

    Had a great day at the skeet field today

    I was thrilled with it and was grinning like an idiot for the next 10 minutes. I would have been happy with 40/50 as well. I think the lay off forced me to concentrate a little more than I normally do when shooting a lot.

    Had a great day at the skeet field today

    I have done some damage to my shoulder and haven't been able to shoot since last August. My doctor said the shoulder looked good and gave me a tentative all clear for a small amount of shooting. Even though it was below freezing, it was warmer than it has been and I was climbing the walls to...

    SKB 505 O/U 28 ga?

    It's a good deal if you can use it. What barrel length? For a 28", I would gladly pay that, but not the 26" guns. I have had a couple .410 Bore SKB 525 guns and really did not like the shorter tubes on the 26" version.

    my meager remington shotgun collection.

    Very nice. It's a lot less meager than my 3 left handed wingmasters. :)

    Bad eyes, retinal detachment, and recoil.

    Those cheap bulk pack loads recoil quite a bit. If she gets the ok from the doc, I would look at loading 3/4 oz light loads. They are plenty enough to break 16 yard targets. Do you have a skeet range around? A .410, while challenging has next to no recoil.

    Question about Winchester 1300

    ^Yes. I had a Ranger 120 with a 1300 barrel on it.

    1187 shotgun life expectancy

    If you want a new gun, then take a look around and see what you like. If you like the 1187, then by all means get it repaired. Unless it was maltreated, it sounds like there is a lot of life left in it. I have seen many 1100's with well north of 100k rounds on them. They do get sharp on...

    Stevens or Maverick?

    Between the two, I would go with the Maverick. I had a field one for a number of years and it worked. I don't like having to load the magazine to feed a gun and just don't get on with the 37. I know you only mentioned these two, but for new guns in that price range there is also the NEF...

    Considering painting an 870 Wingmaster

    If you are just concerned about protecting the metal, a good coat of paste wax works wonders. I currently have a tub of Johnson's, but have used automotive waxes as well.

    870 Police Magnum - New or Used?

    I went the used route. I picked up a a 26" IC Wingmaster from 1966 for $165 and added a 20" IC police barrel from Midway. Other than that I changed the extractor and magazine spring. I shoot it at skeet every so often and use it as a bad weather field gun. I have under $300 into it with 2...

    remington DU 1100 12ga,flea market find.

    Aside from cleaning them, I love 1100s. My last one was high mileage and super sharp on the inside. I got gun shy about cleaning it after slicing my hands a few times.
