    Remington Arms "One At A Time" {1969}

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXh9q4TnCNw&feature=related Apologies if this has been posted previously, but I found it pretty interesting. I was surprised by the degree of automation demonstrated in that pre-microchip era. I have feeling that these old school workers would be somewhat...

    Interesting LOP observation

    Yesterday I was putting my 870 and Ithaca 37 through their paces and it struck me that I'm perfectly happy with 14"-15" LOP on the latter while the 870 with its 1.5" longer reciever and considerably heavier forward weight made me glad for the 12" Hogue stock its wearing. Effective reach to...

    Thinking of getting a Benelli M2...

    ... Tactical for my new go-to and hiking shotgun, I want something lighter and capable of firing faster than my 870, and also able to take choke tubes so this fits the bill. I handled one at the gunshop back in February and while I liked the light weigh and balance I hated the looong LOP pistol...

    Benelli M2 Tactical rifle sights?

    For all the rifle sighted M2 owners out there, how do you like them and is it possible to take a picture of the sight picture? I've handled one of these before guns years ago but I can't rememeber what I thought at the time and wasn't really looking to buy anything in that price range...

    My new favorite shotgun

    Yesterday I picked up a 1958 vintage Ithaca 37 with a 28" fiber beaded Mod choked barrel for $175. It's got a lot of handling marks and a few "kisses" on the stock but it runs great, it's had a lot of rounds through it {former trap gun} and cycling it literally takes about as much effort as...

    Close but no Benelli

    I was considering buying a Benelli M2 or M4 semiauto yesterday but left empty handed after I looked them over carefully and decided they just weren't for for me. I found the M4 a bit too heavy for my tastes and the PG stocks on both guns didn't quite work for me, as neither did the ghost...

    Benelli M2 Tactical with light loads

    I like the feel of the M2T but I understand they're fussy about running lighter loads, which is important as I need something that will function with them for cheap practice. Can anyone clarify?

    Slickest pump action currently produced?

    As the title says, what is the slickest, most positive, least mental bandwidth demanding pump action out there right now? I'm thinking its either the Ithaca or the Winchester 1300/SXP but i haven't tried them all.

    I'm starting to dislike short barrels

    "Short" as in the typical tactical length of 20" or less. IMO, they give up a LOT in the name of handiness and portability, but unless you get into SBS lengths they're still awkwardly long in many cases anyway. I shoot so much better with a sporting length barrel because of the feel and...

    Tube magazine loading

    What do you all use for a loading technique? I load weak handed from the bottom while shouldered, with the round held between my index finger and thumb, with my middle finger below. I pop the shell up horizontally and then push it home with my thumb. On an 870 {and most other "lifter down"...

    Hogue "Short Shot" stock recoil pad

    I'm think of ordering a 12" LOP stock and was wondering what brand and size of slip-on recoil pad would fit on it? I'm not even looking at softing the percieved recoil so much as adding a tiny bit of extra length.

    Grand Power K100 mini review

    Hi all, I suck at reviews so bear with me. :D I picked up a DA/SA K100 "Patrol" last year after hearing some favorable reviews and figuring I needed something in 9mm anyway. This gun feels good in the hand, I haven't tried an M&P yet but this is about the best handling pistol I've felt so...

    Anyone else prefer 000 buck?

    I prefer 000 over standard length 00 as I feel the larger pellets are significantly harder hitting at the price of only one less of them. As a bonus, I perceive the recoil of 2.75" 000 buck to be somewhat less nasty than its 00 equivalent despite the former's greater throw weight at the same...
