Ive been treated nicely at the local GM store(gun counter) here in sw michgan. But, with that said, let me say that the couple times ive bought big ticket items from behind the counter, i have known what i want ahead of time, so theres no sales pitch needed and ive had a gift certificate to use...

I bought the leupold zero point few months back in anticipation of mounting a couple scopes. Well, needless to say,that baby is probably going to be up on Ebay anyday now. It was a frustrating experience to say the least. Granted, im no Einstien but have mounted and zeroed a few scopes in my...

What i found most exciting about getting my CMP garand (years ago during the Clinton admin) was the fact it was delivered to my house by the USPS, my local mailman probably freaked..LOL...Ironic that the administration at the time was anti-gun (brady/clinton/etc etc) yet my 30 cal rifle shows up...

I use our local GM in a pinch once or twice a year for the stuff i forgot to get thru cabelas. Yes, i agree thier prices are retail plus...BUT I have found closeout/clearance stuff at very good prices. For a month or two last summer i was buying a box of 90 clay pigeons for $5.95 at Gander Mt.

the shell catcher idea sounds good BUT does the shell catcher mar the finish on the reciever? I saw a 1100 for sale a couple months ago on gunbroker.com, and in its ad it said "scratches on reciever from shell catcher mounted on it"?? anyway, id buy one if i knew for sure it wasnt going to...

PS to my above post. Although the simple(hopefully) cure points to a defective gas seal O ring, my question to all who answered is this...What or How did i damage the gas seal ring by simply sliding it out of its detent position , off the gun and sliding it back on to its indent position 20...

thanks everyone for replying. The shells were factory winchester AA trap loads. 1 1/8, 7 and 1/2 shot. He also tried some reloads I gave him that ive been using for years. 700x/ 7 1/2 shot, #28bushing in my mec loader. Exhibited the same problem. And we were so careful in dissassebling and...

hi, thanks for the response. As far as lubing goes, a real light coat of oil was put on the surfaces that we thought needed it. Im beginning to wonder if we put on some part/area that wasnt supposed to be? I will have him make sure the gas ports on the barrel are cleaned also.

A friend and I tore down his fairly new 1100 for a good cleaning. Everything was pretty straight forward. Upon re assembling and test firing (target loads which is only what he uses) the first box of shells "stove piped" about 1 out of every 3 or 4 shells. The fired shell would hang up in the...
