Oasso?

The manual fro Ruger will tell you how to maintain your rifle. They made it, they know. Stick with a modern cleaner and lube, and avoid cult-following lubes which oddly range from space-age technologies to 100-year outdated formulations based on ancient science...

Good it works for you George...I think you touched on the reason a bit: In the outdoor range ppl feel free and open and often forget where their firearms are pointing...

Reason numero uno I don't go to open ranges anymore

My advice, since you seem determined to bubbafy old vintage shotguns: cut at 18.5" min based on dowel method described above. Leave no room for contention on the length. Go even a tad longer so when the cut is filed (or properly squared and crowned by a smith) you don't run the risk of ending...

Thanks to everyone again. Bull, I will give your idea shot, it sounds like the ticket. Best to all, Rom

This is true enlightenment! mjsdwash, that's what i feel uncomfortable judging, the roundness of the peen and the height of that little dome, i.e. is there enough meat. As far as being secure, it is. One thing I haven't thought about doing is consulting my old Kunhausen manual - duh. But...

Sorry to hear that! That's why I'm trying to get a rating from members of the various repair centers across the country. Thanks so much, Rom

Gunsmiths in Wisconsin are quite rare (the real ones you mention.). I would like someone who is Remington certified to assess the repair done by Gander's gunsmith to make sure its within spec. The rivet was not changed out, and maybe that's ok, but I'd like to be sure and have a new rivet...

Oh yes, JD from AI&P! Great fellow! I exchanged emails with him a few months back and he told me that he's not in the individual repair business. He was kind enough to entertain my query but suggested I go to a Remington authorized repair center. The question remains: is there a repair...

Thanks, Old Shooter...that would be Ahlmans in MN. Just asking for people's experiences with the quality of repairs at their repair center of choice. I'm hoping my fellow forumites can help me avoid another miserable experience. Thanks again!

Hello to all members: Years ago, after my 870P failed after a measly 50 rounds, I took it to a local repair shop, the now thankfully deceased Gander Mountain. The ejector spring had come loose. The repair shop re-peened the existing rivet, while taking little care to protect the polished blue...

this new Remington 870 is not an innovation...Atis Armi, out of Val Trompia in northern Italy, came up with a detachable mag 12 gauge for US sales, this was back in the early to mid nineties, it just looked a lot better than the Remington copycat. It did not catch on apparently because, it was...

Meant to add, go ahead with the advice you've received to remove the stain in the chamber, it all sounds good to me. My technique is to pool some Flitz on, let sit, then wipe...it will work I promise you, and it will save your park. Might take a few sessions, but it will work

Have you kept a round in the chamber for a while? I did that once, came back after a number of years abroad, and the steel casing (only looks like brass) got stuck to the chamber. Meaning, that might be rust from the shell you had in there, and not the chamber itself rusting. Look at the...

sorry, edited due to erroneous statement

Unfortunately our fair state is a wasteland when it comes to any gunsmithing. would sooner send to Ahlmans in MN than trust anyone here. Maybe there is a hidden gem somewhere.

Thank you, Larry. Kruzr like many of us was a transferee when the Firing Line went down a while ago. He continued posting on the High Road even after the FL came back online. Lots of good advice from him, and always a gentleman. Condolences to his family.

I learned on the 1911 Forum that a longstanding member of this board, Kruzr, has passed. There will be a toast in his honor at 8:00PM Central, for those who want to participate. Best,

I guess I'm in the minority but I find that Break Free seems to improve with every new formulation. However Safariland moved from all syn PAO basestock to semi synthetic, and there's no way of knowing if that affects the lubricating properties...
