    Smith and Wesson shotgun

    guy with barrels Google "Corson's Barrels" to find barrels for your old S&W. PS> gater-1, the folks who gave you names of the various sources of info and parts shouldn't need to spoon-feed you links to the websites. That's what Google is for. Google is your friend. Learn to "google it"...

    Not legal to put extended mag tube on Benelli M2 or M4?

    Rodinal, sir, show me the black letter law or regulation which supports your thesis that: Show me the regulation. Show me the words. I agree the law is stupid. I don't agree with your very specific interpretation of it. With the greatest respect for you personally, I must at this point say...

    Not legal to put extended mag tube on Benelli M2 or M4?

    Rodinal isn't correct yet AFAIK... What we are dealing with here is the 1968 Gun Control Act. Thanks for the Reader's Digest version... albeit not correct. Rodinal, you threw out a lot of text from the USC and the CFR, citing the relevant sections, but the critical piece that is missing...

    Not legal to put extended mag tube on Benelli M2 or M4?

    Is Rodinal correct? I seem to recall that any shotgun holding more than 5 shells is a non-sporting arm and thus prohibited from being assembled from imported parts. I don't think the pistol grip has anything to do with it. Check this out: http://home.comcast.net/~navy87guy/home/922r.html...

    Not legal to put extended mag tube on Benelli M2 or M4?

    You gotta be careful... Yea, this 922(r) thing is pretty ridiculous. You can buy a Remington or modify it to hold more than 5 shells, but because the Benelli is imported, it's a serious Federal offense to do so (or so we keep hearing). And, you can't even rely upon the BATF to give a...

    Why is the Benelli M4 gas operated?

    That's the theory, at least, but we all have heard about the procurements that weren't as great as they should have been based on "testing and acceptance trials." My brother in law is a Marine aviator (CH-53E heli) and he says many of the guys dread the thought of flying IN an Osprey V-22, let...

    Comparing FMJ bullets

    Ok, newbie reloader question: how to cook up load with these FMJ's? Hi all, My interest in reloading currently is to save money. I target shoot for fun, I don't compete (yet) and so safety and "adequate" ballistic performance and repeatability are "good enough" for me. I plan to acquire a...

    Remington 870 feeding problems....again

    Hi, just speculating, as I am not familiar with Remington pumps, but one thing you might consider is the state of the hammer and other internal spring loaded components of your trigger group. If you haven't released the hammer, then there are slightly different forces in play when you rack...

    Mailing shotgun = postal confusion

    I love the Postal Service in that they do a great job for very little money per piece, and if you think about the billions of mailed items that make their way successfully every day, it's remarkable technology. The place where they don't do so well is following their own rules and procedures...

    to the guy who got his shotgun dunked...

    One hopes the trigger ass'y remains in the "off" position whilst said extraction is taking place! :eek: I guess it bears repeating: muzzle pointed in a safe direction at all times while the weapon is loaded! (and, according to GSR #1, that's "always" :) ) I can't imagine what it would be...

    Benelli M4 stock and trigger group removal tips and tricks

    I've seen at least one incorrect guidance for how to remove the stock on a Benelli M4 11707 (pistol grip full polymer stock), and once I did it myself and put it back, I learned a trick which is very important if you want to get your trigger group back in! Sharing to help others avoid wasted...

    Benelli Vinci

    This thread seems to have its fair share of skeptics and cynics in re Benelli. I've heard everything from "they're the best" to "they're overpriced and overhyped." From the pro side of the aisle: what makes them better than the competition? From the con side of the aisle: is there...

    Is the barrel on my CZ75B supposed to move?

    Hey Jeffesonm, Congrats on your new CZ! Mine came with a LOT of grease. Great for storing the gun before it reaches its new owner, but it's way too messy to shoot that way. Glad you cleaned it!That much lube attracts and holds dirt. You might want to consider re-cleaning it with Gun Scrubber...

    Military Grade 00 buck?

    Question of what the application would be for these. At 1500 fps, these carry a lot of energy. They would probably over-penetrate a human target at close range. Inside a building, they would most likely go through several sheetrock walls and so forth. Perhaps great for urban warfighting, even...

    Why Double Ought?

    Speaking of home defense ammo for the shotgun, I am wondering how much to buy and keep on hand? I'm convinced #1 buck is the way to go, but it's a mail-order-only item where I live so I need a plan for how much to order. I've heard it said that ammo probably should be used up within a certain...

    Newbie Question - M4 for HD?

    Psyopspec, would you elaborate on which other shotgun would be your choice, and why? Coronach, same question... ? Not a newbie to shooting, just to shotguns, and to THR, in particular (been shooting long guns for almost 40 years). I'm learning a lot reading the forum threads about HD...

    Newbie Question - M4 for HD?

    Ok guys, total newbie here... What do you think of the Benelli M4 as an HD choice? Did the USMC choose it because it was the best, or because they are owned by Beretta, and that latter co. is supplying sidearms en masse to our wonderful men and women in arms? I have to sheepishly admit that I...
