    How to make Top Shot better?

    The manufactured suspense between commercials annoys me, but that's mostly because I hate things being drawn out any longer than need be. I realize it makes for good TV though. I like the host too. He's got a history with Survivor and I think he understands the job well. The one thing I...

    New Huglu Shotgun

    I picked up a Huglu SxS 20 gauge a number of years ago. Used, but the shop said it only had less than a box of shells through it. The previous owner bought it from the shop for his young son, he couldn't handle the recoil, so they took it back and put it up used. Given that I didn't find...

    Because of this awful "reporting" I have a question

    It's actually written write on the 4473 in the instruction section. Quote: "Question 18. Type of firearm( s ) : Check all boxes that apply. "Other" refers to frames, receivers and other firearms that are not either handguns or long guns (rifles or shotguns), such as firearms having a pistol...

    First Shotgun, few questions.

    You'd easily get $100 for that spare barrel, maybe $125 I suppose. I'd suggest hanging onto it though and shooting some clay games to learn how to work the shotgun.

    Mossberg Just in Case at the Range

    Pump guns aren't recommended for games because an O/U will do everything one needs in a game and do it better. You'll never have to fire more than 2 shots in clay games, and when it comes to something like sporting clays you're trying to get on that 2nd target, which is about 5" across and doing...

    question for sporting clay folks-looking to buy gun

    If you're shooting a lot you can save a few bucks by getting into reloading. You'll get better shells out of it too.

    Mossberg Just in Case at the Range

    Heck, I don't use standard 00 Buck out of my full-stock HD shotgun. Federal's 8 pellet 00 Buck is my go-to. With a 1oz payload coming out at 1150fps there's less recoil there than the cheap bulk pack 1 1/8oz 1200-ish fps target loads. If the guy has shoulder problems, and a PGO is his best...

    Gun blogs?

    I've got about a hundred or so gun blogs in my RSS feed. I added yours to it. Looks decent.

    Which 28?

    True, but they don't make their shotguns. They're just a rebranded Huglu.

    Newbie's First Shotgun - Norinco vs. H&R Pardner vs Other?

    Well, he was asking about the 870 Express. I had one stored in my gun locker that developed some surface rust. It'd never been outside the house, really. Storing it for my brother. Not a single other gun in the locker had an issue. The finish on these leaves a bit to be desired. And I've...

    Thinking of modifying my Rem Wingmaster 870 20 gauge for SD

    Personally I'd love to get one of these: http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/compact/shotguns/model-870/model-870-compact-pink-camo.aspx .. then see if I can run it any faster than my 870 Wingmaster.

    Problem with Remington 870 Express

    FYI: It's steel, not aluminum, that they use in those bases. I don't know why that combo causes so many problems but if you stick around the forum you'll see it once a month.

    Problem with Remington 870 Express

    Yeah. I read the thread title and knew Winchester ammo would be involved. It's usually the Winchester Universal hulls that we see mentioned though, not the brass-based AA hulls. You sure they were actually AA's? I've seen it happen personally with Winchester Universal hulls and an 870...

    Buying my first shotgun

    You'll get a lot of gun advise here. I won't spend much time on that but I'm very happy with a used 870 Wingmaster that I picked up years ago for $200. I spent another $100 on getting a 20" cylinder bore barrel for it and now it'll do trap, sporting clays, and home defense. I have other...

    Picked up yet another cheap coach gun..???

    Not familiar with that specific brand, but, usually to re-assemeble it goes like this: Remove forearm from barrels. Slide barrels into receiver. Re-mount forearm.

    ATF Shotgun Study - Link Inside

    The 10lb weight limit is curious. I wonder how they arrived at that. About the heaviest shotgun I've ever hefted was a BT-99. A single barrel dedicated trap gun in 12 gauge for those of you that don't frequent the shotgun section of the sports. Thing weighs a bit over 9lbs in some stock...

    How far does birdshot travel?

    Previous thread on birdshot range: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=441174 (Cliff Notes version: 300 yards to be safe.) I wouldn't shoot buckshot anywhere I wouldn't shoot a pistol.
