    Yes, it was and still is accepting four shells just fine.

    Wilson 870 extension problem

    I'll inspect it closer. I have also heard that the wilson follower might be a factor in some guns....but I don't know how as long as it is with their components.

    Wilson 870 extension problem

    My 870 has no dimples in the mag tube. The spring is captured by the old style spring cup.

    Wilson 870 extension problem

    I recently purchased a Wilson +1 extension kit for a 1980s vintage 870 Express (standard 4 shot mag tube). Upon receiving the kit, I immediately installed the provided follower, spring, and extension. I then attempted to load five Estate brand 00 buck shells, but could only fit four shells in...

    Winchester 94 30-30 (1975 VTG)

    I was finally able to get it zeroed to my liking. I purchased a One Hole Sight (https://www.warrencustomoutdoor.com/one-hole-sights.html) aperture that fit perfectly onto the rear sight. I had it changed in less than five minutes. Also, a little tinkering with the front and rear allowed me to...

    Winchester 94 30-30 (1975 VTG)

    The bottom picture was listed as 1975 and the top 1977. Still a really cool history this Winchester has both for me and my parents. My mother always said she loved shooting that "30-30". What is sad is I remember how every gun store or any store that sold ammo (hardware, etc.) had at least...

    Winchester 94 30-30 (1975 VTG)

    I had forgotten all about being able to drift the front sight. What is odd is that my dad NEVER zeroed the rifle. As far as I could tell, both the front and rear sights were dead centered before I began drifting the rear sight. I would also imagine the front sight movement would be limited...

    Winchester 94 30-30 (1975 VTG)

    Hey yall. My mother purchased the above rifle for my father as a Christmas gift in 1976. She says it was purchased at "Gibson's Discount Store" for the whopping sum of $163 (on layaway)....including tax and a box of ammo. Ads from the time list the price at $119.35 (1975) to $130.95 (1977)...

    M&P Score of the Day

    Before I jumped on that deal, I would just look around on Gunbroker.com first. I know there are quite a few M&P EZ over there for sale.

    M&P Score of the Day

    Hey yall. Thought I would share my good fortune for the day (probably for the rest of the year). I had been mulling over the idea of acquiring another M&P 2.0, as I had many left over mags/accessories from my last full size. I still have a M&P 2.0 Subcompact, which I loved and carried for over a...

    Springfield Hellcat and XDM Elite Series

    Very nice! I have never shot 10mm, but have shot/carried a Glock 22 in 40S&W. How is the recoil with 10mm?

    Springfield Hellcat and XDM Elite Series

    I do have a Springfield 1911 in .45 Auto, but with ammo prices being what they are, it is more economical for me to consolidate on one primary caliber. I considered a .45 XDM, but Springfield currently only makes 9mm or 10mm pistols in the Elite series. Another advantage, is I can utilize the...

    Springfield Hellcat and XDM Elite Series

    Several, as I have always done after new purchases and/or posting range reports that I feel might provide insight. My primary reason for this is reaching a larger amount of people, thus hoping it will generate more feedback and therefore, discussion of the subject matter. I appreciate your...

    Springfield Hellcat and XDM Elite Series

    Hey yall. I recently switched my EDC to a Hellcat earlier this year from a M&P9 2.0 subcompact and have never looked back. The Hellcat handles and shoot great....I shoot it much more accurately and it seems easier for me to shoot well. I absolutely love the sights and the fit/finish/machining is...

    Help deciding on a new carry piece

    Well, I have decided that I can not part with my M&P. I sold a Ruger P95 and Sccy CPX-2 on consignment and told the wife she would be getting her very own M&P subcompact. After mulling it over long and hard, I just can not justify switching to another handgun that I will have to learn all over...

    Help deciding on a new carry piece

    Hey yall. I've been throwing around the idea of getting a new concealed carry gun for awhile now. My current carry gun is an M&P9 2.0 subcompact, which has been awesome for me and the wife. My only reason for considering a new carry gun is due to the wife loving the M&P subcompact so much that...

    POA/POI issues with M&P9c

    Thanks for the input.....it also probably doesn't help that I'm right handed and left eye dominant, however that doesn't affect my POA/POI with full size handguns.

    POA/POI issues with M&P9c

    Hey yall. I've been carrying a M&P9 2.0 compact (small grip and I believe 3.6" barrel) for approximately a year now. I have owned several M&P's, from the standard M&P9 (GEN 1) to the new 2.0 5 inch. I currently own the M&P9c and a full size M&P9. The 9c is my first compact size handgun that I...

    Help with Brownells Retro AR Scope 4x20

    Hey yall. I recently purchased one of the Brownells Retro AR scopes for my A1 build rifle (Fulton Armory pencil upper with 1x8 Criterion barrel, chrome lined). I had a little bit of difficulty getting it zeroed, as the adjustment knobs seem to be half or 1/4 moa per movement, but the literature...

    Stoeger coach gun

    I've owned several of these over the years. One thing I've noticed is that new from the factory, they are a little rough. The thing that did it for me though, is with the two I've owned (sold many moons ago), if you plan to do any heavy shooting with them, the wrist of the stock where it meets...
