    Bead Blasting in DFW

    Hey, Jack! Check paint and body shops. If they do small parts, they'll have a blasting cabinet. Wish I could give you a direct contact, but he picked up and moved to Canyon Lake about five years ago... :D

    870P bent forend action bars ... help!

    Look on Gunbroker first, best source for parts. Before I knew any better, I spent 60+ bucks from Numrich for a forend. When I was looking for wood furniture on GB, I found several with the tube still installed for 30 or so bucks...

    D/FW

    Checking from Allen. I usually shoot at GPSR and love it there, but I'm thinking about getting a membership at the Bullet Trap since it's close to my office...

    ATF on Shotguns, Pistol-Grip Shotguns, and Short-Barrel Shotguns

    To hell with this. Tax stamp it is... ;)

    ATF on Shotguns, Pistol-Grip Shotguns, and Short-Barrel Shotguns

    Sounds like a new fetish rather than a psychosis. :D That is the rub, huh. What matters more, it's original disposition or what some flimsy form states as filled out by an absent-minded sales clerk? For that matter, if I purchase a used firearm from the pawn shop with a PGO on it, that form...

    ATF on Shotguns, Pistol-Grip Shotguns, and Short-Barrel Shotguns

    Just came across this and find this very intriguing. First off, I'm having difficulty distilling search terms down to check any progress. Is the outline above still the latest unofficial accepted opinion on the matter? I'm assuming the original state of the firearm from production is what...

    Winchester Model 12 - Spare Barrel Assembly Questions

    Thanks for the detailed responses. Looks like I won't be able to do what I was hoping. Isn't a big deal since it's a beauty the way it is. To clarify, I was looking to purchase a spare barrel/magazine assembly and latch the whole thing on to it, but I didn't know about the barrel ring that...

    Winchester Model 12 - Spare Barrel Assembly Questions

    I found a beat up Model 12 at a local gun shop and I've fallen in love with it. It's all original, wood's decent and the bluing's at about 30-40%. Don't know what type it is, but it's a 12GA with a 26"~ barrel. I thought it might make a nice addition to the shooting collection as well as...

    Mossberg barrels

    I have both Mossberg and Remington barrels on a couple of 870s. The Mossberg barrel is definitely thinner walled and much lighter. The bore is dark as opposed to the bright Remington barrel, but it shoots just fine. The Mossberg barrel has rifle sights and groups slugs well, so I have no...

    870 forend tube issues.

    Holy crap. I'd be more worried about collapsing the tube; glad it stood up. Audi makes an expensive vise. :D Before I knew any better, I bought a tube from a 3rd-party parts supplier for almost 70 bucks. Then I looked on eBay and found them all day for $30 bucks. Get two!

    870 forend tube issues.

    Penetrating oil and a light tapping to shake the oil into the threads might be enough. If not, a vise and a small cheater bar may be in order. I don't have the proper wrench, but I believe anything 3/16 thick that can fit in there should be fine. I use a small piece of G10. For a stuck nut, I...

    Benneli experts! Help finding a part M1super90

    Benelli parts are elusive. The best luck I had was going to them directly via phone. They got back to me quickly, whereas going through Numrich took a few weeks. Just checked my e-mail, try this: [email protected]. I spoke to a nice rep named Kelly and she was very responsive. She may be...

    Resurrecting an old Sears Ranger

    You did exactly what I'm hoping to do this year. I just gotta find a beat-up donor for my own project! That looks awesome. Now how does it shoot?

    870 Gurus.... Need Some Help.

    Yep, looks real similar to what mine was doing. I could get mine to pop if I shucked like a sonuvabitch. Odd thing is, when I looked at the malfunctioning action bars, there wasn't much wear. The finish was gone but it didn't look much different from the new part. Do you have another 870? I...

    870 Gurus.... Need Some Help.

    Could be worn action bars. I wish I could tell you how to check; I found this out by swapping part by part between shotguns. Good news is you can find them pretty cheap. Look on Gunbroker for 870 stock sets and you'll see the occasional set show up complete with the action still on the fore end...

    Double-damn. This is my favorite section and I missed out on it!

    870 18" IC blued ball-detent with RS...

    I have a blued 18.5" RS barrel on my 870 Police Requiem; it's manufactured by Mossberg. They are CYL barrels, though. They were on "blow out" by Havlin Sales for about two years until about six months ago. I'm sure you can still find 'em...

    Armscor M30: Is it a copy of anything?

    Bolt/carrier looks identical to a Flite King. The more pertinent question is whether the Armscor parts will fit a Hi-Standard. Those buttpads are fairly granite on most samples... :D

    How do you secure your HD shotgun (long gun)

    I have a cheap StackOn gun locker about three feet from my bed. It's mounted into the wall on two sides and to the concrete underneath it. It's got a shotgun, a pistol and a couple of flashlights in it. When I get home at night, I open it and leave the keys in the lock. In the morning, I shut it...
