I bought a box awhile back and it was 100% reliable in my PTR-91, and also had much less recoil than domestic .308. Then I bought 9 more boxes, shot two of them, and at times it wouldn't even cycle twice in a row. I have yet to chronograph this ammo, but it's loaded pretty weak. The brass is...

I went ahead and shot it earlier today. I used the chamber adapter and some light .38s (148gr DEWC, 2.9gr red dot). It was a hassle to get the barrels shut with the adapter in because it kept getting under the extractor where the barrel wouldn't shut. Once closed, I put it on the roof rack of...

Thanks for all the replies. After looking at those english proof marks, I'm pretty sure this is an english gun. here's a link to the chamber adapter I have: http://www.shotgunadapter.com/shotgunadapter_004.htm The adapter is for 3" chambers, and I'm sure this gun has a 2 5/8" or...

I've been searching the net trying to find more info about this old shotgun: I can't make out what the proof marks are for sure, and haven't found any that looked similar, but I'm thinking it might be Belgian. It has "JN" stamped on the barrels, which could mean it was...

PTR-91 with a bunch of extra crap on it:

I've got a regular 590, but here it is with a wood forend off a 500ATP: I've tried a few other wood forends in the past, only to find out they weren't the right size. Recently I bought a Mossberg 500ATP that had a wood forend and plastic PG. I've had bad experiences with PGO shotguns...

I carry a keltec P32 everyday. I carried a PF9 for a short while, but it was way too big and heavy to carry comfortably in my cargo pocket. Tried a .380 keltec too since it's almost identical in size/weight and more powerful, but the recoil was so nasty I got rid of it. Unless keltec starts...

here's a pic of the M29-2 I use to own: and here's my 5" 629: and another of it next to a blunderbuss I use to have: The 29 had the nicest trigger of any gun I've ever shot, but I wanted something stainless and easier to carry while hiking, and originally planned on getting a 4" 629...

Thanks for the info. Turns out my uncle already had low expectations on what it was worth, so I went ahead and bought it from him since it's not everyday I get a chance to buy a 138 year old gun. Yesterday I bought a box of 405gr remington ammo for it, and put 5 rounds through it. The...

I'm trying to find out some info on this rifle (which belongs to my uncle and who is likely going to sell it), but am having a tough time finding the info I want. First off, this is .45-70, correct? The action seems to function like it should and lock up tight. Would this be safe to shoot...

I was trying out some new loads in a C96 mauser yesterday. The first round didn't fire (light primer strike), so I pulled the bolt back to clear it, and when I let it go to chamber the next round, the gun slamfired. Luckily I had it pointed down range, but the bolt hit my thumb so hard I thought...

Update: Put the hogue nut on there and that didn't fix it. The forend still slides too far to the rear, so I went ahead and just put the synthetic forend back on.

With all the low recoil 12ga buck available now, I see really see no reason to buy a 20ga for SD anymore if recoil is a concern. 20ga generally costs more, has far less ammo available, and the 20ga I had with buckshot kicked more than 12ga low recoil. Both are perfectly capable though. I...

I went ahead and ordered the hogue adapter nut. I'll update this post later after I get it and put it on to see if that fixes the problem.

I traded a 350sbc for an SKS.
