    I'm starting to dislike short barrels

    Try swinging a 28 or 30" in our thick shoulder deep (or deeper) California brush let alone inside of a house. I'll take that 18.5 incher anyday!

    Shotshell Sling Options?

    I have a simple basic rifle sling on my 870P. Something like $15.00 at Cabela's. It attaches to the swivel cap and the buttstock and gives me absolutely no grief, works great. I would have no desire to carry extra shells on my sling. Pack 12 extra round inside a nylon pouch on my hip when in...

    New to shotguns and home defense using one? Don't set aside that $600 bucks for college... I'd suggest putting it towards some professional training and ammo.

    Ammo. storage

    Arnold recently signed AB-962 into law which effective Feb. 2011 will prohibit internets sales of ammunition. Living out in the boonies, the internet has always been my best bet for affordable ammunition. Between now and then, I intend to stock up big time so my question is how high can I...

    walmart shotgun 100 round value packs

    Not to shift too far off track, I just mail ordered a case of Winchester Ranger 00 Buck for an excellent price with free shipping. Cheaper than the imported Rio's, does Winchesters crummy reputation (As seen in this thread) extend into their law enforcement product line? You guys have me...

    Best Sling Setup for 870 Express?

    I normally carry a 870 using a sling. I don't hunt birds, need my hands free. The sling is nothing special, not swat or commando style. Just a basic middle of the road rifle sling from Cabela's connected to the firearm with QD. swivels. A bit wider and padded in the shoulder area, it...

    rio #12 shot for mosquitos?

    Skeeters bothering you? Order an airstrike. Napalm or cluster bombs do wonders thinning them out. Just remember to duck.

    Medic bag?

    If you don't have decent communication from your remote location you'll obviously need to carry a lot more supplies if it's a day's hike out to get help. And that kinda says goodbye the the golden hour.. Pack your cell phone and consider spending a day obtaining your ham radio technician...

    Rem 870 Jam

    Ditto on the action proving dummies that Lee mentions. Brownell's has em $25.00 for a box of 25. Add another ten to that for shipping. Sure beats seven bucks a toss.

    870 Police

    "Well, I've been selling them since '02 and have not seen any plastic trigger groups. I would call Remington and see if you can get one as a replacement for the plastic one you have." Nope, nada, no way. My shotgun is used primarly for bear defense on steep, rough mountain trails where it's...

    shotguns for dangerous game?

    "When I read "attention getter" my mind immediately goes to "just enough to turn a bear that has raised up on its hind legs showing he is the boss into a really pissed off beast on the charge". Only in the movies. A bear that's up on his hind legs is not necessarly a threat. They frequently...

    shotguns for dangerous game?

    I own some remote placer claims and the area is thick with black bears. Have an encounter roughly every other day and so far, all have been peaceful with the bear and myself each going our own ways. I carry a 870P with the first round 00B as an "attention getter" the remaining rounds are...

    Noise Levels of 12 gr. Blanks

    Many years ago my grandfather used to load 12ga blanks that were fired in the local parade. An avid reloader, I recall him loading shotshells with powder and then rather than putting in shot he used his reloading press to pack in toilet paper. They were indeed quite loud. As loud or louder...
