Browning makes both BPS shotguns in 10 and 16 gauge. They also along with remington make an automatic too. Almost every pump has no reliability problems (especially from Browning) not sure about the automatics though.

I have a winchester model 12 from 1947 that ive fired trap, field, and buckshot rounds through. I noticed that the bore has some niks, scratches, and near the chamber the metal isnt shiny and it looks kind of textured (sorry for the noob langage). Is this normal for a bore this old or should i...

Hi, I'm a lefty who has been lucky enough to inherit a well worn 1947 winchester model 12. I was wondering since I'm a lefty, if the safety can be reversed so it can be reached easier, thank you.

I was thinking of buying a thumbhole stock for my mossberg 500. Are there any practical benefits? I use mine for deer (mostly buckshot), waterfowl, and turkey hunting.

If your using buck shot keep the range within 30 yds on black bear(00 or 000). Use remington buckhammer or brennekke slugs out to longer ranges.

Isn't that impossible because the bolt is attached to the slide which is all attached to the barrel? As you pull the barrel off the slides comes with it and locks the bolt in place

I'm probably going to sound like a moron for asking this but.... It's a 1947 and I've managed to break it down but while taking the barrel/slide off the bolt locks in place. How do I unlock the bolt and take it out? Thanks.

thanks for all the help, but i have one more question? How do I clean the grime out of the trigger housing and the action?

pros: cheap, dependable, good patterning, high quality cons: ???

My uncle recently passed on and I was fortunate enough to inherit his firearm collection. One of which is a 1947 winchester model 12. It has minor surface rust, grease, dust, and gunk within the guns action (hasn't been fired since 1960's). I want to restore but can't find how to take the barrel...

why not? if its safe and possible (which i know now its not) i think it would be cool.

thanks for the info guys ill just slam fire with my model 12

Is this even possible? Has anyone ever done it? And if so could you tell me how please. I want to make my 500s fire like my model 12. Than you

Honestly its a pump gun. And I think it is ridiculous to pay over $350 for one. Ithaca's are over priced and you not getting much bang for your buck. I'd go for a remington or a mossberg they are both excellent guns and are about as accurate as the Ithaca. I perfer mossbergs though bc of their...

Glad to see someone thinks like me. If I'm gonna hunt elk I wanna shoot around 200 yards. Not a quarter mile away with a .325 wsm.
