    Need ideas for removing the safety pin. Others have said it drives right out. This one will not budge. I'm thinking of removing the bolt and trying my Arbor Press on the pin. Has anyone else had success with this? Any other suggestions?

    Does anyone have any opinions about this shotgun? Such as effectiveness on game, recoil, weight and availability of ammo? I'm thinking it might be the ticket for an older fellow.
