Got a new (old) 870, and even though this is FAR from my first one, I keep having an issue when replacing forends. This one was loose, and I just tightened up the nut, but now the forend scrapes the left side of the barrel. I'm not one to really care about wear, but its something that has...

Posted this over on Shotgun World, but I figured there may be some Mossberg gurus over here. I bought a Mossberg 500ATP PD-Trade in today, and it has something very strange with the magazine tube. I'm a Remington guy, so I need some help. I disassembled the 500, but I could not remove the...

I picked up a 1983 vintage Wingmaster Police Trade-In for cheap today. While I'm not new to the 870 by any means, I do have a couple of questions: 1. Since this was made back in the early 80s, it doesn't have the flex-tab carrier. Do I absolutely need a new bolt in addition to the carrier, or...

I picked up a nice Savage 340E in .30-30 today in a private sale. It has seen some use, but the bore & crown are great. The problem is the bolt is VERY stiff opening & closing. I mean nearly as bad as a Mosin Nagant with "Sticky Bolt Syndrome". Its also fairly rough riding in the bolt, but I...

I found a decent price on a 26" Skeet choked 1100. The shop has an online showroom, and mentions it has "seen some use". It has 90% bluing with many little marks, and 85% wood with many little marks. My question is what should I look for in buying a used 1100, specifically for wear & tear...

How is the magazine extension held in place when you convert to an old-style magazine retainer? Is there a ball detent in the forearm which grabs on the magazine cap? I'm building a tactical 11-87, and I need to remove the dimples to go to the old-style magazine retainer. I just can't see how...

I just have a quick question about Post-64 Winchester 94s. Its my understanding that from 1964 to late 1983 that the receiver was cast. When USRAC took over 1984 they switched back to forged receivers. Is there a serial number cut off for the cast receivers, or a easy way to know by looking...

If you happen to have a Gander Mountain in your area, they have the 2 3/4" Federal Tru-Ball Rifled Slugs on sale for $1.25 a box (Standard & Low Recoil). There is a 5 box limit per customer, but I just came back an hour later to buy more. I think the sale ends 8-17-08, so stock up if you have a...

I ordered a +2 Choate Magazine Extension for one of my 870s. I first had to cut off about a 1/2" of the spring just to get it into the magazine tube. However, once I got the extension screwed on, there is a small gap between the extension and the barrel ring. Its just big enough for the barrel...

I have a possible trade for a 21" 870 Special Purpose Turkey Barrel. I am getting rid of my 18" Cylinder bore barrel because I can make more use with a Rem-Choke barrel. However, my 870 has the old style magazine retainer system. This barrel I am thinking about trading for is set-up for the...

I recently added a new 870HD to the fold, but I am not new to 870s. I am thinking about selling the factory +2 extension kit because I think it makes it a bit front heavy. I was thinking about buying a Scattergun Technology +1 Extension as a compromise between the stock magazine & the +2...

I went out, and traded a revolver for a NIB Remington 870HD yesterday. I cleaned it up last night, but I do have 1 annoying problem with it. The action button is very stiff. I put some CLP in the trigger group, and it only made it slightly better. Is there a way to fix it? I can manipulate...

I bought a Mosin-Nagant M91/30 a couple of weeks ago. I cleaned it up, and took it to the range. After I was done shooting I put it against the wall to clean it, but never did get around it until 4 days later. When I grabbed it, the bolt handle was rusted badly. I managed to get it off, but the...

I noticed this awhile back with my 870HD barrel. The magazine cap detent and magazine cap spring are missing. I recently switched the +2 extension to a normal magazine and noticed it. The cap stays on, but it will come loose after 5-10 rounds which in turn allows the barrel to come loose. Do...

A little background at first: This past hunting season was the first I've ever been hunting, and have became addicted. In fact, I really hate that I never went when I was younger (Turning 23 next month). I hunted duck and squirrel mostly with my fixed modified Wingmaster. My finance...

I finally picked up my 11-87 Premier this past weekend. It was used and came with a full choke, but the salesman told me if I wanted to switch chokes I could. So I got an extended Rem-Choke Improved Skeet tube that is marked SC2 on the top part of the choke tube. The question I have is this: Is...

I have finally narrowed down my CCW Choices to the CZ P-01, or the S&W M&P. I've had a CZ-75B for almost 3 years now, so I am quite used to them. However, the only problem that I may have is the decocker. Since the CZ-75B has a manual safety, I am used to resting the thumb on my right hand on...

I have finally decided to take the plunge and get my CCW License. The current pistols that I am considering are the CZ P01 (since I already have a CZ75B), Glock 19, Beretta PX4 Storm, and the FN FNP-9. I am interested in the FNP-9, but I have heard that using certain lubes will damage the...

I am in dire need of a skeet shotgun. My 870P and 870 Express both sport 18.5" barrels with a single bead. At the skeet range, I usually borrow the Rangemaster's old Remington 1100 LW 20 Gauge with a skeet choke. I can't really find any good deals around here for a used 1100 or 11-87. My specs...

Tonight I was checking the diameter of the safety retaining pin since I am replacing the j-lock on my 870 HD model with an old style safety. I was reassembling my 870, and I turned the barrel up to check and make sure the barrel was clean enough a small part came out. I don't know if its a part...
