    My 1st lemon

    I've bought and shot many guns over the past 30 years. I rarely buy a new one. When Ruger came out with the GP 7 shot, I decided I'd buy it brand new. Ordered it, picked up at the dealer and ogled it all the way home. First pull of trigger and I knew there was a problem in Rugerville. The...

    Too much oil

    I recently acquired a Ruger Mark II, target. Beautiful blue, not a scratch on her, looked unfired to me. The guy I bought it from said it was a "jamamatic" and would not function correctly. hence the price of $200. I took it out to the range a few hours after the purchase, he was right, every...

    Returning to smaller gauges

    Dad started me on a 410 when I was 8 and from went up in gauge every few years. 28 at 10 and when I turned 14, me and my 2 older brothers all got new 20g shotguns. We thought those 20s were cannons, couldn't miss. Dad only had 1 shotgun while we were growing up a 16 Ithaca. After high school...

    Is the 16 guage comming back?

    Was recently at a gun show in OKC and picked up an older M37 Ithica in 16. The gun was 85% and handled better than my 12. For 2 bills, it followed me home. Haven't shot it yet but am hoping to take it out dove hunting Sept. !st. Shells seem a little more costly but only few dollars more than 12...

    Best double or auto for upland birds?

    I personally shoot either an old wingmaster or my old Ithica 37 for everything. My niece is wanting to buy her husband a shotgun for his birthday, she has pretty deep pockets and is wanting some advice on which gun to get. They(her and her husband) are very big on quality and want something they...

    410 for defense?

    Have looking at some data about the 410 shotgun loads, it seems out of a 18 1/ inch shotgun, velocity of 1200 and #4 buck (350 grains) would pretty leathal. Have a female friend who wants one, she's tried the 12, NO. She's tried the 20, NO. 410 she likes. What say the experts?

    870 extension question

    Have an older 870, that a few years back had the barrel reduced to 18 1/2 inches. The other day I found a screw on extension and have installed it. It sticks out about 1/2 inch beyond end of the barrel. The extension is metal and very sturdy. Will the extension be hurt by shooting and is a...
