I'm not in your exact situation, but a very similar one. The two guns I have been debating between are a glock 26 and a kahr cm9. After holding and shooting them both I have decided on the cm9. It is small, concealable, felt good to me and my wife liked it. It is also reasonably (to me)...

I ordered it from brownells. I think John3921 posted a link to it at the top of the thread. The other place you may consider is cole gunsmithing. That is purely because at one point I thought I was going to have to call them for advice, but I felt bad because I didn't buy the part fom them...

Okay, so curiosity got the better of me and I ordered a +.30 lug along with a couple other little things I needed. I figured I'd put it in and if I saw results I'd leave it, if not I could just return it with the first lug that I ordered and put the original back in. First off it was visiually...

Here is a picture of the lever. I need to get my dad's digital caliper and check the two.

So I had some time today and I decided to go ahead and do all the springs and the locking lug. So far disassembly has gone well and to this point I know I can get it all back together. I am running into a problem getting the screw that holds the return lever on, out. I have tried holding the...

I always liked this one from the boondock saints. Starting at about 4:15. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gd3Sl7P0IOA&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dgd3Sl7P0IOA

I figured changing the springs would be like changing the oil after you buy a car. I'll do it now then ill know. I would imagine it doesn't need it but I plan on pulling it apart to clean it and get a better understanding about how things work so I might as well. Does anybody have a picture...

I went ahead and ordered the spring kit and oversized lug so that when I'm ready for the project I will have the parts. I'm looking forward to becoming more familiar with this gun, and more importantly shooting it. I would imagine if I change these parts they won't need changed anytime soon...

Once again thank you John. I am pretty mechanically inclined and making the required tools hasn't ever been a problem in the past. I appreciate you walking me through how everything functions. I like to know how all the parts in my guns work so the info you are giving me is right up my alley...

The lever is basically right at 6 oclock. It still locks up tight, with no looseness. I took it out and shot a box of shells through it yesterday and it shot like a dream. Im glad you reminded me of bumping it to reset the triggers. I knew there was a trick, but I couldn't remember it. I...

For quite a while now I have been looking for an over/under for when I shoot sporting clays or everynow and then trap and hunting. I have researched all the different budget O/U's to see which would be best. Then after shooting an older beretta 686 I decided that is what I had to have. So I...

Sorry to derail the thread but hunterdad, I have a Stevens 620 very similar to yours. What kind/where did you get that case? That looks exactly like what I have been looking for.

I'm excited to hear about this. I was going to ask a similar question a couple of weeks ago, but Berettas just fit me so much better that I have decided not to even look at Brownings. I am still interested in the information though so I'm glad you asked it.

Luckily there was a good youtube video with a guy completely stripping one. That got me everything except the trigger group, but he got close enough to it that I could see everything. The shotgun is completely back together and functions like new! I wouldn't begin to guess how long it has...

Over a year ago I took apart my Stevens model 620 to see if there were a chance of salvaging it (it sat in the corner of my grandpa's shed his whole life and proceeded to rust very badly). My plan was to have it parkerized but after a year sitting in two different gun shops with no end date in...
