Last question. Is there any reasonably priced ammunition that can be safely used in this gun? I'm a little slow on the uptake, so specific brands and such would be appreciated. After cleaning it up, I'd love to take it to the range and try it out. Thanks again for all the great info. I love...

Once again, a wealth of info here in the shotgun forum. It never ceases to amaze me how well versed you guys are when it comes to these firearms. Right now, I have a 1975 Winchester 1400 that I use for my occasional trap shooting. I'm not that good at it, but the 1400 fits me well, and a...

The serial number makes it a 1952. Is this one that you shouldn't use steel shot? Based on what I've read, I don't think it has any real collector value. I'm itching to work on the stock scratches and refinish the wood. Any ideas on it's value? Thanks for the I.D. help. Tim

I recently took possession of this shotgun. It's a Browning over under, but has no visible model number or name. It has a 5 digit serial number, containing only numbers, no hyphens or letters. Here are some pictures: Thanks for any help you guys...

Well, as long as were bragging....LOL. I shot my first round of trap ever recently, and put up a 20. I was pretty proud, even if it was beginners luck....hahahaha. Tim

I have a new to me Winchester model 1400 Mk2 semiauto. It's in great shape. I bought it to try my hand at trap/skeet shooting. It's always looked like fun, but I never wanted to invest in a gun to try it out, until I found this 1400. Anyhow, it came with what looks like a stainless steel...

I've been wanting a cowboy action revolver for a while, but haven't wanted to pony up the $400 for every used Ruger I see. This type of revolver would just be a once in a while plinker at the range for me, so I don't want to break the bank. I found locally a Hawes single action cowboy type...

Which is the easiest for a beginner: skeet, trap, or sporting clays? I just bought a shotgun to try my hand at it. Tim

Hi, I have a chance to buy a Win 1400 Mk2 shotgun. The pics I've seen show it to be in good to very good condition. Asking price is $200 face to face, so no tax is involved, just $200 bucks out the door. My goal is to buy an entry level semi to see if I like trap/skeet. I'll never hunt...

Would you like to pet my monkey?

This is just a run of the mill Wal*Mart special that I picked up about a month ago. I stripped the paint off of the receiver and trigger group, cleaned up the aluminum metal underneath, and the finished it off with a brushed look to match the barrel. It was a fair amount of work, but it turned...

I just bought a Mueller APV for a Ruger 10/22, and had it out for the first time today. The adjustable objective on mine is kind of stiff, and uneven when turned. I bought the silver one for $124. This little rifle will just be a fun bench shooter, so the less than smooth focusing of the AO...

I only have two things to say about the above posts. First, I had a buddy that bought some Korean .30-06 ammo for a Garand, and it turned out to be corrosive. Check the stamp on the cartridge, and do an online search. Second, go to your next "fun show" and pick up about 5 or 10 real USGI...

"It's at the Georgetown facility... do they have any other facilities(I honestly don't know)?" Learn everything that you can about the company. How many plants/factories they have, who's the CEO, what were their earnings, are they publicly traded, how large is their work force? By...

Thanks for the replies. What I meant by average condition is that it was a duty gun for many years, so it has the usual wear and tear that a "working gun" ends up with. Things like small scratches, and holster marks. Tim

As the title asks, is this a good price for a stainless S&W model 65, 4 inch barrel, in average condition? Thanks, Tim

My plan for my 870 18in. is to get one of the new MagLite LED 2AA battery lights, and put a pressure switch replacement on the end of it. I then plan on getting one of the replacement clamps that has the three holes, and using this to secure the barrel, magazine, and front part of flashlight...

I like the full sized M&P, but was hoping that the compact would truely be a compact, and not a subcompact like the G26. I wish that they would have made it more along the lines of the G19 as far as size goes. With that said, the M&P is a great feeling gun in my hand. I'm sure that I'm...

Well, this thread has certainly been an eye opener. I've been shooting for about 15 years, all of it pistols. This year, for some reason, I got a wild hair, and bought my first long gun, a small caliber rifle(.17HMR) for plinking. Yesterday, I picked up my first shotgun, a Remington 870...
