    Comb raiser with cheek adjuster for 870, or ?

    After messing with shims i think i've discovered what my real problem is with this older Wingmaster. It seems that when i mount the gun, i'm somtimes looking over the other side of the stock. I think its because i have a longer neck. I wrapped a piece of foam around it which raised the comb...

    Shim for cast?

    Shim for cast?

    I plan on adjusting for cast with a shim. If I'm shooting to the left of center, would I put the shim (between butt plate and receiver) on the left or the right?

    Adjustable stocks for an old Wingmaster?

    I know I probably need to adjust the cast on this old 1952 Wingmaster to get it to fit me. I've read Dave McCracken's shim adjustment using a shell casing, but, I also need a padded butt plate on this gun. So I'm wondering: is there a padded butt plate I can buy that fits this old Wingmaster...

    Question on Brenekke slugs vs. "Slugs 101..." statements

    brenekke slugs Yes, it was real fun. It has been a while since I shot slugs. The Wingmaster receiver I used was older and had a steel butt plate. I put a rubber Decelerator recoil pad on it and wore a Past shoulder pad and the recoil felt was pretty nil. I shot about 20 shells and was...

    Best single shot .410 for 250 or under?

    Older Mossberg bolt action I have an older model Mossberg bolt action, that holds 3 shells in total (one in chamber & 2 in clip), but that is also a lot of fun to shoot and is very light. You could find one of these cheap. Probably for $100 or less (or a little more if quality is real good)...

    Question on Brenekke slugs vs. "Slugs 101..." statements

    I've been playing with my old smoothbore Remington slug barrel to see what slugs shoot best out of it, as per "Slugs 101..." I have a couple of questions if anyone can help. 1) In about paragraph 16 of "Slugs 101..." it says that the KO Brenekke's are really a Forster style with an unattached...

    Slugs out of an older 870?

    Slug gun Thanks PabloJ & Scooter22. Scooter22, why the difference in accuracy after 3 shots? I wasn't sure if it was because of shoulder soreness or a heated gun or a dirty barrel. I had been wondering before if I needed to run a patch through the barrel after a number of shots since the...

    Slugs out of an older 870?

    I've got an older 870 Wingmaster 2 3/4" 12 ga. I've been meaning to try different slugs out of for a while now, based on D. McCracken's expert advice in "Shotguns 101". It has an older 20" smoothbore with rifle sites and I'd like to see which of the various brands of slugs, I have, seem to...

    What 22 revolver made today is comparable to the older K-22 Masterpiece?

    K-22's If given a choice, would you pick a new 617 or a model 17 classic? I like the look of the model 17 classic without the underlug, but not sure which would have better balance.

    What 22 revolver made today is comparable to the older K-22 Masterpiece?

    Supposedly when talking about quality in a 22 revolver the S&W K-22 Masterpiece (or model 17) always gets mentioned. What 22 revolver made today is comparable to the older K-22 ? An example of what I'm asking might be that down the road people may talk about the Benelli auto shotguns like...

    Loss of accuracy at the range?

    shooting Thanks for the comments. The confusing thing was that I was the only one who shot the +P's. My wife only shot the 38 specials, so she couldn't have experienced flinching. After I shot 6 rounds of +P's I went back to the 38 special wadcutters for her to shoot. This was when she now...
