shotgun

This is a 3in load from 10 feet, and 20% gelatin. The buckshot barely goes 10in into the gel. That surprises me as I thought it would penetrate a little deeper. Of course, the strength of a car door will vary. But it's a good reference. I remember an expert saying Brennekke slugs are for...

In the chamber I keep a 3in Winchester Super-X 24 pellet #1. The tube has seven 3in Federal plated 10 pellet 000 buck in it. Side saddle has 5 Brennekke 1 3/8oz Maximum Barrier Penetrators on it. If I travel I take the #1 out of the chamber and keep the tube loaded. I really like how the #1...

Sometimes I think people don't know how quickly you can operate a pump shotgun. Source: http://blog.suarezinternational.com/2017/09/speed-comparison-pump-vs-semi.html No haters please I'm not saying you can't pull the trigger faster with a carbine or semi-auto, but personally I'm not too...

Hi all, I just did a trigger job on my semi-auto 12 gauge Turkish shotgun. The pull is just a bit better, but I noticed that when dry-firing there is no longer as much noise or shaking. I did not cut any springs at all, and just polished with fine file and dremel polishing bit the trigger and...

A while back I was looking to grab an affordable 12ga for upland and waterfowl hunting. The buying criteria was sub $700, semi-auto, 28" barrel, & synthetic furniture. Most importantly, I also wanted something good that I wouldn't feel bad about beating up. After looking around and...

Ran across these on facebook for a giveaway . After a bit of research this was pretty well thought out. What do you guys think. I know its no sub for training but i think it would help when during the heat of the moment. http://www.gogaugetactical.com/

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to guns and shooting and am planning on purchasing my first shotgun in some time. Im for sure left eye dominant but I do everything right handed. Sorry if this question already exists answered somewhere out there. Buy a left handed gun and learn to shoot left handed...

I've been looking for an inexpensive single-shot scatter gun for the rare and occasional pheasant hunt. I found this on gunbroker: http://www.gunbroker.com/Item/593553515 I have an I-J Champion 20 gauge that has never let me down on rabbits or grouse shooting 2 3/4", it cost me $75. Is this a...

I picked up a Stoeger M3K the other day. It was well under $600. I'm impressed with how well it handles and shoots. The inertia action is very reliable and it keeps the shotgun insides very clean. Support accessories are available from MOV Precision. They make a variety of items to make...

Hello THR, long time reader, first time posting. I have run into some trouble with a Winchester Model 1912 12 Gauge shotgun. It seems the shells get stuck in the magazine tube about an inch into the tube from the receiver. To release the stuck shells I can rotate the magazine tube 90 degrees as...

Hello, i just got a CBC model 151 single shot 12 gauge and it will break down but will not come completely off the butt end of the stock. What is my problem? Am i missing something or not doing ot right? Please help me.

Hi all, First off I'm new to THR so if I'm posting in the wrong place or something feel free to set me straight. So here's my problem, I recently purchased a Winchester 1200 used from Cabelas. I bought the gun because my buddies 1200 has the smoothest action I've ever felt and mine is the...

This was an idea i've had for a while, but is there any where, or place that I could send my spent 12 gauge hulls to be reloaded for trap shooting. I shoot hundreds of cases and I'm wondering if it would be worth it (money wise) for the shipping and time cost. I appreciate your opinion!

Has anyone had any experience with filling a longitudinal crack in a 12 ga shotgun barrel. I believe if I could get the right filler in the crack that the barrel could be reamed out and a sleeve put in to restore 12 ga use. This is a double barrel in which someone tried to shoot 3 inch magnums.

I'd like to know which Streamlight tactical laser/light is better for mounting on a shotgun: the TLR-2 or the TLR-4? The mounting is standard picatinny rail. Now, I prefer the TLR-4 because it's smaller, lighter, cheaper, and I don't need a super high amount of light being output, just enough...

Hi, this is my first post, and i figured i would put my idea out therr on the best gun for those under 21 to use as their truck gun in case they need to defend themselves. I'm from Ohio, and one can not carry even if in plain view, a loaded firearm in their vehicle. You also may not have any...

I bought 2 Savage model 42, 22lr/410 over/under combo one for each kid to use, brand new both out the door for $475. package deal. The kids and I do not like a sites on them, from other post I found where to get Picatinny rail for them. I however have no experience with red dot scopes or reflex...

First of all, hello. This is my first post on this forum, I've been a member on other forums but, well, it seems like this one is the most informative so I've made the switch. Anyway, all I have are two single-shot 12 gauges, which are delightful for shooting clays, but I've decided it's time...

I got this in a box of goodies. It doesn't fit my Mossberg 835, and I don't have any other shotguns to try it on. I'm not even sure of the brand. I've scoured Google for about an hour trying to find one similar to no avail. Hoping somebody here may recognize it. Thanks in advance for...

I've looked through thread everywhere, as well as the browning site, to try to decode my serial numbers. They don't fit any of the time frames. About the gun: Browning FN Automatic on the black buttplate. Numbers immediately in from of loading port, stamped in the steel: 5M (next line) 1889 (I'm...
