Suppose I call Mossberg Monday and ask if they ever made a steel 590 receiver for any reason? Would that settle the argument? I doubt it, because that would mean that someone is wrong and that wouldn't be PC. :banghead:

This is exactly the reason most folks I know do not take part in discussions on firearms forums. There is always a BOZO who claims to be a EXPERT (unverified) who will drive you nutz with his BS. Mossberg NEVER MADE A STEEL RECEIVER (I'm shouting) for the 500/590 series shotguns. Ask...

I just remembered something. The most common version of the 1300 had a full length magazine tube. The clamp-on front sights may not work unless they are cut away to clear the lug on the barrel. I don't know if the Sage front sight is cut away to fit a 1300. MMC used to make a clamp-on front...

For all practical purposes, the Wilson front sight won't work on a Winchester. It was disigned for the Remington 870 and 11-87. It could be mounted, but it would take a lot of extra work. Wilson makes an adapter for barrels that don't have the Remington pedistal, but I don't yhink it works very...

GAG! RETCH! Ahhhh I feel better now. Seriously, they have to be the ugliest sights ever created by man. If you are turned on by ugly, go for it. They work ok. Just make sure that you get the correct front sight to fit your barrel diameter. If you get one that is too small,,you will never...

Believe it or not, I am not trying to be contentious. (Oooh. That's a big word) I came across this forum several months ago and after lurking for awhile it seemed like a "good old boys club". That isn't a bad thing, but it doesn't leave much room for dissagreement. I agree with Dave that off...

OK. I think I understand now. One is not allowed to dissagree with the locals, especially the boss man. Well I is sorry boss. I won't do it again and I'll be sure to wear my hip boots the next time I check this forum.;)

Well, as they say, everyone has an opinion.....you know the rest..... When you have cut as many barrels as I have, you tend to have an informed opinion. I have seen cut down barrels with wall thickness a little as .020" on one side. In my opinion, that is much to thin at the 18" mark. Newer...

"Older Remington barrels are among the best ever made, anywhere, anytime. True, straight, and nigh perfect in weight and dimensions." Well, maybe. Many of the old Remington barrels are not bored straight. In fact, when cut back to 18", I am often surprised at how thin they are on one side...

Try ammoman Not the best prices, but consider that the quoted price includes shipping. Ammo is heavy. http://www.ammoman.com

This thread seems to be typical of what goes on here and most other firearms forums. Folks go of "half cocked" when they don't or can't understand the problem. I would like point out a few things. 1. How long was the offending shell in the magazine? 2. How many shells were fired with THAT...

Gee! He raised prices! Oh my! How about posting a list of gun makers who have lowered their prices. Rent goes up. Labor goes up. So does utilitys and raw materials. Wilson/Scattergun has raised their prices. Remington raises their prices every year. Ditto Mossberg. Why should...

The front sight is very durable. The same can't be said for the rear sight. I have seen more then a few with the aperature broken off. It looked like a poor quality casting. Also, it is very difficult and expensive to replace the rear sight. Remington milled the top of the receiver flat and...

I doubt that you will find one that will fit a 1300, but you might try GG&G in Tucson, AZ. If all else fails, you could bolt a rail to the bottom of you existing forend. The vertical handle on the forend may seem like a good idea, but it will torque the forend and may cause excessive wear and...

RE: MMC SIGHTS. IMHO.....A tritium bar in your rear sight would be too close to the eye to be of any use. A forend light would be much better. Consider MMC rear sights to be permanately mounted. The screws are usually installed with Loctite. Anyway, it would not be a good idea to keep...
