I am considering an Benelli M2 Tactical but have read about functioning problems with them when accessories and added. I'd be looking to install a side-saddle and a light mount, probably the type that attaches to the magazine tube. Will these compromise the M2s functioning?

One of my greater shotgunning mistakes was selling a very nice 28 inch, early 90's vintage, 20 gauge Wingmaster LW that I bought it in 2006, unfired and in the box. It was sold about a year later because in the interim I'd found a 28 gauge Wingmaster and my then rampant 28 gauge addiction...

http://cbs13.com/local/trap.shooting....2.770287.html Modesto Man Dies In Trap Shooting Accident MODESTO (CBS13) ― A man was killed after a shotgun was fired accidentally in a Modesto parking lot, authorities said Sunday. The incident took place in the parking lot of the Old Fisherman's...

I shot skeet recently with a young couple who were new to the club. Nice people. He’d shot before but she was just starting. She had good form and did well for a new shooter. I gave her the name of a local instructor and made a couple of minor suggestions. After we were finished she...

My farm/HD gun is a slightly-modified Remington 870. Pump guns because they are more operator dependent than semi-autos require more practice to stay proficient. While I generally shoot an o/u or semi-auto for clays I take the 870 out least once a month to shoot skeet or sporting. I might get...

I didn't want to hijack another thread so I'm starting a new one. In that other thread I saw this comment. I think this is a questionable use of a shotgun light. Using it to scope out unknown trouble means potentially pointing a loaded gun at an unidentified target. I have a gun light...

I've about had it with Remington 1100s -- Updated This past week I did some shooting instruction for a group of women who hold an annual two-day sporting clays getaway at a private lodge and clay facility about 3 hours drive away. This is the third time I've been asked to work with this...

Will it work? I know the 12 gauge parts won't fit on the older large frame 20's but the 16 and 12 are on the same frame and the cartridges are very close dimensionally. Has anyone tried a 12 gauge barrel on a 16 gauge 870?

I put my hands on a Remington 105 CTi for the first time today. It is owned by a friend at the club who brought it out today to give it a test run. This gun should never have left the factory. The most noticeable flaw was the rib. It was higher on the left side than the right and not...

I’m having a problem with a recently-acquired 28 gauge Remington 1100 Skeet gun. If loaded with a single round it doesn’t eject the shell. It will function if loaded with more than one round but will not eject the last hull requiring the gun to be opened manually. This shotgun dates from...

My search for a 28 gauge Wingmaster ended earlier this month when I acquired a pre-owned yet unfired version that was made in 2002. At the store the gun functioned properly with snap caps but it's a different matter at the range. I'm coming to the conclusion that this gun has some...

Last fall I related a tale about discovering a 15 year old, unfired 20 gauge, 28" Rem-choked, 870 Wingmaster, pre-J-lock in unfired condition. Resistance was futile and home it came. My 870 needs were complete with the 12 and 20.:) Or so I thought until today when I dropped into the same...

I'm considering a Benelli M1 90 and have a question. IIRC these guns have a system like the Beretta semis where the round in the chamber can be replaced without another round coming up from the magazine. My question is can these shotguns be loaded with the chamber empty and charged just be...

While poking through my local gun shop not looking for anything in particular I spotted a 12 gauge Wingmaster. Nice gun, reasonable price but already have one and don't need a second. Then the man behind the counter goes into the back room and comes out with a green box (always a bad sign...

Our club hosted a charity sporting clays shoot for one of the conservation groups this weekend. The inevitable logjam occurred at station 6. No problem. I was already so far out of the running that I was just enjoying a sunshine day and was happy to stand around shooting the breeze with...

Is shotshell reloading becoming the preserve of die-hard traditionalists (read old farts) and eccentrics? Of the many shooters I know personally I can think of a handful (including me) that reload on a regular basis. Most of the younger shooters I know have never reloaded. One of the...

I've always been a believer in the 28 gauge. Light recoil and hits out of its weight on targets. I've owned three 28s and my current one is a quality o/u from the same maker as my 12 gauge target gun. The downside of the 28 is the cost and availability of ammo. My lowest price option is...

Are the receivers on the 28 gauge and .410 870 the same size as the 20 gauge receiver?

We live on a semi rural 40 acre horse farm/woodlot with neighbours about 150 yards away. Varmints include foxes, coyotes, porcupines and various other small pest critters. Ranges are unlikely to exceed 100 yards. I've used a .223 bolt action but I'm now seeking a quieter option. I had...

Before you do it’s a good idea to mine the motherlode of information on this site, TFL and the Colt forum posted by dfariswheel. I bought a Python on a whim last fall and didn’t do my research in advance. Thankfully, my mid 70’s 4†passed the dfariswheel timing and lock up test with...
