    Mossberg 500 series slide 1 bar vs 2 bar..........

    Only ones I and anyone I know are 2 bar. I,ve seen some nice condition early ones that I was interested in but 1 bar so I passed. I know 1 bar can possibly twist and bind but is it common? I have a couple old Win M12s that are 1 bar and never had a issue. Is it a big issue? Thanks.

    What to do with this ammo?

    I have a full box that I got way back and found out you can,t shoot it in standard guns. Just resurfaced. So sell or trade it as a collectable? Or can I pull it down to use the primed cases and reload it? TIA

    Question on Mossberg C-lect choke barrel......

    Can these be shortened and the choke reinstalled? Mine is a 28" barrel w/choke. Would be great to knock it back to say 20-24". I know the barrel contour and thickness will come into play. They didn't make them this short. I looked around for a short threaded barrel to put a Polychoke in. Forget...

    Great uncles old Win M12 "duck gun"

So I haven' shot it since the early 80s. Should I leave it, restore it, or turn it into a short barrel HD...

    Opinions on Accurate No.5 powder.

    My son has a chance to buy 8lbs of it but has never used it. Neither have I. He has a .32ACP, .380, 9mm and 45ACP. It's listed for all those cartridges. He doesn't want to buy 8lbs and find it finicky. I put this here instead of in Handloading. He doesn't want loads, just to know if it's...

    Stock compatibility

    My son has a Savage 111 LH 30-06. Which is the long action. He'd like to swap the black synthetic blind mag stock for a walnut one. Will the factory 110 series fit? Theres a lot more available. I think so but want to make sure before ordering one. Thanks.

    IMR4895 or H4895 for normal jacketed and reduced cast boolit loads.

    I think there was a thread a ways back on this. Santa brought my son a reloading set up. I've used IMR4895 for 40yrs from reduced cast loads to full power in .223, 243, 7mm-08, 30-30, 30-06 and others. I reload to get about factory ammo and have had no problems with IMR. But lately I read...

    Bank of America to stop lending

    To manufactures that make ARs or military style guns. Saw that on TV this morning. It also pulled out of the restructuring of Remington. Take your pick of the links. https://www.google.com/search?q=bank+of+america+to+stop+lending&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1

    Looking for 7.7Jap load w/Lee 160 .312 cast boolit

    State travel laws question.

    My son is travailing to Virginia Beach this weekend to visit some friends. He will be passing through PA, DEL, MD, into VA. Is there any problem if he brings his Mossberg 500 shotgun and a couple boxes of shells? Thanks.

    Reforming 7.7 Jap from 30-06.....

    Anybody here do it. I have a 99 Arisaka I,ve never shot. I want to load some low to mid power cast bullets just to try it. I need dies and brass. So I thought for what I want to do just make 20,40 cases from some LC brass I have and just get a set of FL dies. What do you think.

    Fun time at the range.

    My son and I had a chance to run up to the range this morning. So we grabbed a asst of rifles we haven't shot in awhile. Mossberg 340 KB .22, Remington 541T-HB .22, Ruger 77/22, .22 Hornet and last a old Stevens 325 30-30. I picked up the Stevens for 50.00 bucks. Nice shape except for the "ear"...

    New Gunbroker format...

    What do you think? I hate it. Old one flowed top to bottom. New one is left to right(back and forth) plus down. Makes it harder. I'll spend less time browsing there. Takes too much looking around.

    Looking for some cast bullet info

    I don't remember if it was here or on one of the other lever gun sites. But there was some great info on light 30-30 loads especialy on one of the light Lee pistol bullets. I think it was a .311 diamater 112 or 125 gr or so bullets. If anyone has a link to it or other light bullets for a 30-30...

    Got a deal today.

    I've been looking for a shotgun for my daughter. She's 5'2", 120 pounds. Dicks had the Maverick 88 20 ga. youth for 169.00 plus tax for Black Friday. Nice shotgun. It has the butt stock spacers, 22" vent rib barrel with a Mod choke. Total length is the same as the 12ga HD model. Should work well...

    How are the C-lect chokes installed?

    That would be on Mossberg shotguns. I have a chance to pick up a model 395 bolt action shotgun cheap. Very good shape but broken spring in the mag. I really don't need it but I thought it might interesting if I could remove the choke, shorten the barrel(20" or so) and reinstall. Suggestions welcome.

    Polishing shotgun chamber...

    How does a one do this without egging the chamber with home tools? I don't have a lathe. I just want to get any machine marks out. A lot of the budget shell now have brass coated steel bases that I've read can stick. Thanks
