    Mossberg 590 Shockwave Issue, Trigger Won’t Always Pull

    Okay, final report: Operator error all the way. Turns out I was gripping that “bird’s-head” grip too far down, which had my finger stretched out & keeping tension on the trigger, preventing it from resetting consistently. Confirmed by comparing my hand position when shouldering my 500. I feel...

    Mossberg 590 Shockwave Issue, Trigger Won’t Always Pull

    Okay, this time I was able to replicate the problem by dry-firing it without fully resetting the trigger. Although this is something I’ve never, ever done with a proper shoulder-mounted shotgun, it’s entirely possible that I was doing exactly that with the Shockwave’s funky bird’s-head grip and...

    Mossberg 590 Shockwave Issue, Trigger Won’t Always Pull

    Hadn’t thought about swapping trigger groups. That would surely narrow down the problem. Thanks!

    Mossberg 590 Shockwave Issue, Trigger Won’t Always Pull

    Good evening. Having a problem I’m hoping some if you gunsmith types may be able to help with. I recently purchased a Mossberg 590 Shockwave. Cool gun, but it’s prone to malfunctioning due to a trigger issue. Shooting Winchester 2 3/4”, 7 1/2 shot heavy loads (only load I’ve tried), the trigger...

    Evolution of Ahrends Boot Grips-Why Didn't I Think of This Sooner?

    Boge, I did not know that, thanks. I'll remember that in the future.

    Evolution of Ahrends Boot Grips-Why Didn't I Think of This Sooner?

    Thanks again for the complements, everybody. BullfrogKen, my favorite for a long time was an aromatic called Hobbit's Weed from Tewksbury & Co. in Colorado, but I've recently switched mainly to non-aromatics. I'm not as knowledgeable about them as I'd like to be, but so far my favorites are both...

    And pipe smoking is such a great old-world pastime.

    Evolution of Ahrends Boot Grips-Why Didn't I Think of This Sooner?

    Thanks again y'all. I can go with ship's planking or briar pipe, either one. They both have an old-world appeal, and I'm an old-world guy. Or maybe I'm just an old guy.

    It's great to meet another Savinelli guy! I found myself looking for a "like" button on your post (too much time on Facebook).

    Evolution of Ahrends Boot Grips-Why Didn't I Think of This Sooner?

    I appreciate the complement, boricua9mm. I am pretty tickled with how they turned out, not just in feel but also in looks. I love my Model 65. If I could have only one revolver this would be it.

    Evolution of Ahrends Boot Grips-Why Didn't I Think of This Sooner?

    Hey y'all. Thought I'd share my grip modification idea that, unlike a lot of my ideas, actually worked out great. A few years ago I got a set of Ahrends Boot Grips for my S&W 3-incher (upper left in top photo). They turned out not to fit my hand that well so I went to work with a wood rasp and...

    Thoughts and Prayers

    I used to live on this site but haven't been here in a while, for various reasons, and this was pretty bad news to come back to. When I was first getting into shotgunning a few years ago I gleaned more knowledge from the shotgun forum here in general, and by Mr. McCracken's writings in...

    Kabar Heavy Bowie: Reshaped Handle, Wth Pictures

    Hello. I'm posting this on the chance that someone else may be considering a similar project on a Kabar Heavy Bowie, since the knife's oversized handle seems to be a problem for a lot of owners. I had asked a while back on this forum if anyone had any experience reshaping a Kraton rubber knife...

    Slimmimg Down a Kraton Knife Handle

    Thanks for the replies. Actually, as I have handled it more it has gotten more comfortable, so even though I would prefer a slimmer grip I might decide to just live with as it is. But if I do decide to alter it y'all have given some good advice.

    Slimmimg Down a Kraton Knife Handle

    Hi y'all. I just purchased a Ka-bar Heavy Bowie that I don't have a particular need for, I just wanted one. I love the blade size and shape, but the handle is just too wide across to be comfortable. I am actually considering returning it because of the handle width, but before I did I wanted...

    EDC Update Light and Blade

    I can't always carry a firearm because of my workplace (nuclear power plant, can't even have a gun in my vehicle), but the Spyderco Native has been my everywhere knife for five years and its design, size, and weight are just about perfect for me. I'm not aware I have it on me until I need it.

    Spearheads

    I have the Windlass Viking spearhead shown on this link, and my son has the Windlass Greek spearhead. Both appear to be very high quality and from some of my research seem to be pretty authentic reproductions, in both design and construction. Both are mounted on 1 1/4" ash shafts and have...
