    Threading

    Looking at getting my .223 Rem 700 threaded. What is the average length of threads from muzzle of barrel to barrel shoulder. I've heard 0.500" to 0.600" is there one standard length of threads. thanks

    Mossberg 590

    110 year old Win 97 and it just keeps going. Even does good at trap & skeet. It is a nice HDG also. The 590 is nice as well as the 870 but when I saw this I had to have it.

    Shotgun Picture Thread

    My 1910 model 97 Win. Riot gun. Someone had totally refinished it before I bought it and that's ok. I didn't want a newer tactical style. This is my HDG.

    Home Defense

    Found this little beast of a shotgun. Looks like it was professionally refinished. It is a solid frame 97 Winchester 110 years old. It will set in a corner for a HDG if needed. #4 BK should do just fine. I did take it out and shoot a round of trap with it. Great shooter.

    Speed FPS

    Shooting Hornady 75gn BTHP with 23.4 gn of Varget in a 7.7 twist 26" Bartlein 223 varmint barrel and avg 2845. This speed is over what max loads are showing with more powder. At what point if there is a point is this to fast or a barrel burner.
