The corrosive residue will go wherever it can. If it leaks past the case it will contaminate the chamber and bolt face. If it's a semi-auto it will contaminate the gas action. Even the residue carbon from extracting a shell can contaminate surfaces around the action. I refuse to shoot corrosive...

My M12 will do the same thing, hold it upright and press the release and the whole thing slides wide open. Maybe I got lucky and found a well assembled one (or it's been shot loose and I should have a 'smith check it?).

Well I very much love my ball bearing slick M12, it's actually a wedding present from my wife. I'd like to have a second shotgun for variety, and less wear/tear on the M12, but it'll be tough to beat that smooth action.

I keep leaning more towards stealth vs brute strength. An unlined RSC hidden behind a wall with a welded grid of rebar around it to provide some added deterrent. Thieves would have to find the safe first, then destroy the wall to make enough room to cut the rebar, and cut enough of that to cut...

I may just take a long drive to a long time gun shop who always has lots of used shotguns and see what strikes my fancy. In this gun market things might be really picked over or grossly inflated. Of course looking online I noticed Mossberg has a 590 Retrograde 20", with an 8 shot tube and heat...

Fire protection = no Break in/theft resistance = yes Esthetic = no, just needs to be hidden Water resistance = no Humidity/temp control = yes Anything is better than the sheet metal stack-on gun locker they are in now. Mainly want them stored horizontally, hidden, and climate controlled.

As tempting it is to sell off some 30-30 for a tidy profit, who knows how long it'll be before it's in stock again, or what new prices/taxes/bg checks/internet sales limitations might be in place. Guess I'll just hold onto my 100+ boxes for now.

Well I'm not looking to build a 1" thick Graffunder type safe that's going to distort my basement slab. 1/4" steel would slow down quite a few thieves, and the most secure safe is the custom hidden one they don't even know about. The room I'm thinking of putting a hidden safe in has some odd...

I find the gun oils are creeping down the actions into the stock, no matter how little oil has been applied. Plus it's not good for recoil pads. Storing them on their barrels is just asking for them to tip over. I would prefer to just store them horizontally instead.

Military Shooters LLC Outdoor Limited Midway USA RST Shotshells I have ordered multiple times from each with no issues. But that was all before the buying panic, so these days expect product to be out-of-stock, backordered, or delays in shipping. Good luck finding ammo without resorting to...

I'm not going to spend money on a big heavy "gun safe" that is really just an RSC. I have thought about more secure options such as Sturdy Safe but they still store the guns upright. I want a safe that allows the guns to be stored horizontally, perhaps built and hidden in a wall. Has anyone...

Looking to stick with pumps since I use RST light loads that probably won't reliably run an autoloader. Ithaca is one I've thought about but didn't know they were light weight.

I have a well used but cared for M12 made in '47 that I take out for casual clay shooting. I've been thinking of getting another 12ga shotgun, possibly an early 870 wingmaster, but I'm asking if there are any other guns I should consider instead? A few requirements: a corncob style fore end, no...

If the NRA is funneling money into the board's pockets, and per another poster the GOA is more of the same, then where's the best place to send our money? FPC or FPF? SAF? NAGR or CCRKBA? State level gun rights groups? Is direct funding to the NRA-ILA still viable? I don't care about...

The old SIG P6 surplus pistols that flooded the market years ago. It's the size of a G19 with half the capacity, but there is just something about the grip and balance of it that outweighs it's drawbacks.
