OP - great setup. my apologies for going off topic but I had a headache problem too. It wound up being my caffeine intake. I went cold turkey for about a month and the headaches went away. I now limit myself to no more than one caffeinated beverage a day and I am ok. I hope you find a simple...

Well you got your Berettas and you have your Brownings, and then there is everything else. There's plenty of decent guns in the "everything else" pile, but there's a few stinkers too. For $1,000, I'd be looking to a decent used Beretta or Browning, most likely in 12 ga with 28" or 30" barrels...

If you can find one, a used Beretta 390 or 391 would work just as well as a new A400.

There's no real practical difference between the 20 and 28 except 20 gauge ammo is cheaper, more plentiful and more variety of offerings. Most 28 gauge shotguns are built on a 20 gauge frame. I've had 20s that weigh less than 6 lb, which I've come to realize is too light for me. I also had a...

I'm not sure chasing down an off brand value shotgun that has undergone multiple design changes from a company that does not respond to inquiries is your best option. Find a Mossberg 930 if you want to go new. If used is an option, the Beretta 1201FP is pretty much the same as a Benelli...

I’m partial to the Remington model 1894 and the value version model 1900. The Lefever Nitro Special is probably the best of the economy guns. Hunter Arms Fulton Special is another good one

Some of it has to do with if you have a tapered forcing cone or sharp shoulders in the gun. A short chamber with sharp shoulders was designed before was a plastic shot cup and helped transition the shot load into the barrel with a minimum of turbulence. Firing longer shells than the chamber...

I'm going off memory here, and it ain't what it used to be, but... The AL 300 & 301 were similar to the AL1, AL2 & AL3 series guns from the 70s. The gas system was a more picky on what type of shell was used. Some guns operated best with used to be called "High Brass" or full power loads...

You'll be OK with a sharp stick. Anything else is bonus.

It wasn't a rifle that won WWII, It was a general. And that general was General Motors. As already mentioned several times, we just out-produced everyone else. We had the resources and manufacturing and nobody bombing us back into the stone age. I read a comment from a captured German tank...

Congrats. You might as well sell the 28 ga 686. You will find the 20 ga about the same weight and ammo selection is more diverse and less expensive.

You don't need a new gun, you need a new guide. .308 Win is no good but .30-06 is? Do you know how close these are in performance? And I'm not even getting started on the .270 What's he smoking?

Gratuitous pic as requested: Walnut stock, metal trigger group, metal butt plate and no warning on the barrel. "What took you so long" - I've got plenty of .22 rifles, most happen to be lever or pump actions. I figured I shoot a ton of ammo with them already, going semi-auto with removable...

Thanks for the ammo suggestions LL. I'm keeping the original walnut stock and it has a barrel band so shimming and free floating is not an option.

Thanks gents. Your suggestions are appreciated.

OK, so after many years of gun ownership I finally have my first Ruger 10/22. I've owned (and still own) plenty of other .22 rifles, mostly lever actions and a few pumps, with a Rem 552 BDL as my only semi-auto. I also had a Marlin Model 60, but my brother-in-law got that one from me. The...

I once owned a Miroku made Charles Daly O/U on a true 28 gauge frame but sold it off years ago. The gun was too light for me, I'm happiest with a 6.5-6.75 lb field gun and if I remember correctly the little Daly was just over 6 lb. They might be good for a small person or woman, but I felt it...

I got the barrels backwards, I thought the Damascus barrels were the short ones. I guess if you could afford a BE grade back then, you could afford an extra set of barrels. I wonder if the gun was sent back to Remington to have shorter barrels added after the stock was cut down to return...

The expert on the old Rem SxSs was Charlie Semmer, but he passed away about 5 years ago. He wrote a book about Rem doubles, but used mostly existing examples for his documentation because none of the original production paperwork survives to the day (I think there was a fire). Most info about...

Nice. It looks more like my AL391 Urika with the slimmer fore arm.
