    Slight gap between my 870 and my spec ops

    I just installed a new spec ops stock. There is a slight gap between it and the receiver and I've tightened it as much as it will go without the risk of :obreaking the stock. The gap is big enough to slide a piece of paper in but not so big to get a credit card in. Am I just being nit picky?

    Since when did Remington...

    ...lose the J lock on the Express'? I bought an HD version last week and it has a standard (old style) safety. The only lock it came with was a funky trigger lock.

    Lighting for home defense.

    I'm going to buy an 870 and equip it with a Knoxx Spec Ops stock. I want to put a light on it and after using my buddies similar setup, I've decided against using a Surefire forend because of the slap it gives you. Not bad but not great for a gun that is going to be used mostly for recreation...

    Ghost Ring Q.

    I'm looking to upgrade from an Express to a Remington Police shotgun with the Wilson Compat ghost rings. Few questions; How hard is it to shoot clays with a ghost ring? Nothing competetive, just informal clays with my buddy. After taking it apart to clean it, does the point of aim change at...

    XD sub questions.

    Got a few for the sub-compact so bare with me. First what kind of extractor does it have? It's internal but is it 1911 style? Second, will full size mags fit in them like the Glocks can(G17 in G19 in G26) ? Third, now I know recoil is subjective but are we talking J frame smith + or -...

    Trap and Skeet rules.

    What are the rules for certain types of games? Do you have to stand with the gun shouldered but down, shouldered and up, all the way down..? Any links to a website or anything I can take a look at for the next time my buddy and I go out? We just use a cheapo thrower out in the stix but it...

    Using non-weapon mounted lights.

    Are there any easy techniques to using a non-weapon mounted flashlight with a shotgun? I have a Surefire Z2 with a constant on clicky tail cap but I'm using my pistol with it because I know how to. I'd like to be using a shotgun for home defense and was wondering if you guys had any know-how on...

    One shot extension pic wanted.

    I was wondering if anyone had an 870 with 18" barrel and a one shot extension that they could share a pic of. Want one but it needs to look cool.:D

    Interesting (I hope) question about buckshot.

    I carry 00 buck like most of you for defense but what animals could you NOT reliably defend yourself against and would have to upgrade to slugs? I was wondering if we could start a list. I'll difine defense as an attacking animal within 25 yards while your hiking, bird watching, or whatever you...

    Correcting thumbing.

    I got one of those targets that tells you what you're doing wrong by where the bullet strikes. It says I'm 'thumbing' because some of the bullets will hit about an inch or two, distance dependent, to the right. Is this what I'm doing and how do I correct it?

    Firing pin/bolt assembly question.

    Is there a way to disassemble the firing pin/bolt assembly? I posted about a rusty 870 a while back and I've been able to clean it pretty good, still needs work, but I noticed a little rust on the assembly.:uhoh: Is there any way to safely disassemble this so I can scrub it?

    Rusted 870

    Somehow some water got into the magazine of my 870. It looks like it sat in there for a while because the rust is bad. Not quite to the point where it would start pitting but bad. Is there an easy way of getting it out or am I stuck with it?:(

    Good factory ammo for .38+p with 4 incher barrel.

    Anyone know of some good .38+p's for a 4 incher? Getting a 686 and I'm too much of a wuss to go for the .357.:( I'm not seeing much from bouncing around other forums so maybe I should just grow a pair and use the mags.

    Price Check on used good condition Winny

    Hey, I'm looking to get my first centerfire and I'm leaning towards a used Winny model 70 in '06. How much do these run for a rifle that some guy may have hunted a few times with but didn't ding up to bad? Thanks for any help.

    New (to me) techniques.

    I just read a couple of shotgun techniques from a special Surefire edition of Guns and Ammo and I wanted to bounce them off your guys heads. 1st is a new CQB tactic where you turn the shotty on its side, top of stock toward your face, and rest the stock on your shoulder. This enables you to...

    Sturdiness of mag extensions.

    I was on another forum and I guy told me to use a barrel band on my 870 so that the extended (factory) mag tube wouldn't break or bend at the threads when dropped or smacked against something. Is this really a problem that you guys have experienced or is it just an extra precaution that may not...

    Yes yes.

    Oh yeah! Got my first 870 today. It's the home defense model with the factory extension on the magazine. Was only able to take it up to my folks after cleaning it to pop off a few bird loads to make sure everything was kosher. And it is! Great handling and this is from a guy that hates...

    To load or not to load.

    Or keep loaded to be more precise. My buddy's in Iraq so I'm taking care of his 870 while he's gone. Needless to say that I've gotten used to having a shotgun in the house. My question is this; Is it a good idea to keep a shotgun loaded when your not in the house? When I'm at work for instance...
