    870 gunsmith question

    OK, I'll answer this one.... :) I'll answer this one even though it has already been answered several time. (I'm just being sociable) The barrel ring or lug came off because it was not put on correctly at the factory. The silver brazing material has a melting point of about 1100 to 1200...

    Kimber Ultra Raptor

    Well.....maybe... I won't get into the COLT vs OTHERS disscussion. I have a Les Baer Concept VII which is the same size as the Combat Commander. It has been 100% reliable and much more accurate then I can shoot, but it is still a bit hefty for every day carry. (I'm a little old guy) I would...

    Kimber Ultra Raptor

    Has anyone seen these yet? I just read a review of this pistol and it sounds promising. Of course, I take anything that I read is a gun magazine with a pound of salt. (They don't diss advertisers) One thing I noticed is that Kimber went back to the Colt style internal extractor. Could it be that...

    mossberg forearms sizing question

    If you look closely at the Serbu Shorty you will see that the arms are the same length as the standard forearm assy. All he did was cut off most of the tube. The arms have to be the length they are to operate the action. There is no way to make them shorter and still be able to use full length...

    Mossberg forend loop.

    :confused: Someone was looking for the Mossberg 590 forend with the web loop. I sent him e-mail twice, but got no response. I was going to post some info on the thread, but I can't seem to find it. Maybe I'm going blind. :cool: Anyway, I have some. Unfortunately, they are for 14" guns and...

    ...Hmmm...If ONLY It Had a Shoulder Holster !!

    FYI..... If you put a shoulder stock on it, folding or otherwise, it will nolonger be an AOW. It will now be a short barrel shotgun subject to the $200 transfer tax. I still have my doubts that this qualifies as AOW, but what do I know?

    Rem 870 Left Hand Safety?

    LH Liability Problem There use to be some left hand safeties, but there is a liablity problem to consider. Think about it for minute.....you have a right hand shotgun with a safety that operates in the "wrong" direction. What happens if a right handed person picks up the shotgun thinking that...

    questions on back bore shotgun barrels

    After working in the gun business for many years, I get a bit tired of people who are ignorant of the subject but are more then willing to display that ignorance. Perhaps it would be better for all if I stayed off of this forum. It would help keep my blood pressure down. An HD shotgun...

    Remington "Reduced Recoil"??

    The Remington 8 pellet load definately produces less recoil then most other 00 buck. How much less the perceived recoil actually is, is an individual thing. I find Estate 00 SWAT shells to have less recoil then Federal Tactical. I once had some Brenneke reduced recoil slugs that felt like 20 ga...

    870 patterns off to one side-remedies?

    I have seen this on several 870s. Some can be fixed just by trying another barrel. I have tested barrels that shot 8" apart on the same gun. On a few 870s, the magazine tube was not installed straight. There are 2 fixes. You could send the gun back to Remington (recommended) or try to bend...

    questions on back bore shotgun barrels

    At the risk of stepping on someones toes, I am often amazed at how willing people are to comment on subjects that they know nothing about.:( Backboring it the process of reaming a shotgun barrel to produce a choke where there is none or to increase the restriction of an existing choke. The...

    870 18" Imp Cyl Barrel?

    Remington does make 18" 870 barrels with IC choke. They also make them with a modified choke, however, they are not available to the general public. I have also seen 14" rifle sighted barrels with modified choke. These were special order for a federal agency. You might contact Vang Comp...
