    Need Advice - Para USA refusing warranty claim because my pistol is Canadian

    I'm going to go this route, likely just have to get escalated up to a supervisor level that can make that call. I've talked with them about parts, and they don't have what I need. :( They were the only source anyone could come up with for the mag springs, and they politely chuckled. I'm...

    Need Advice - Para USA refusing warranty claim because my pistol is Canadian

    Hey all, So here's the deal. I have an LDA CCO in .45 GAP that I actually really like. It's a good little pistol, smooth shooting, and plenty accurate for what I need. In the last 3 months, it's developed 3 terrible habits: 1. Failure to extract - at times, the extractor just either misses...

    Where/how do you organize your mag/clip stash?

    I use big lure boxes. http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-XPS-Lure-Boxes/product/10203081/ And mark them on the outside what gun they go with.

    New to shotshell reloading

    I want to agree with OneOunce and MSgtEgress here. A MEC jr. is a fantastic press for .410, as well as being the perfect starter press for EVERY kind of shotgun shell reloading. And, once you've learned the ins and outs, you can keep it to do all kinds of other reloading, like your specialty...

    The Economics of the Shortage, Explained

    To your first point, it's not that simple. Ammunition manufactured in the United States is rarely sold or gifted overseas, because we don't manufacture the calibers necessary in any kind of quantity. Our allies overseas, if they don't have their own ammunition manufacturing capacity, aren't...

    No all plastic. Anything you can find in .410. Remington premier sts and Nitro. Winchester AA Super handicap.

    New to shotshell reloading

    Not quite true. While they'll all load, Premier and Nitro are monopiece hulls, and gun club and game loads utilize a basewad. If you're looking to load hulls with basewads, you're better off with AA Super handicap rounds, as the silver is easier to inspect. The day Winchester, who invented the...

    Remington 1100

    I'm not sure what you mean here. Vent Rib barrels are pretty much the standard for any gun that uses them, they're more intuitive to sight down than a plain barrel. The only shotgun I own that doesn't have a vent rib is an old A-5 I got from my dad who got it from his dad, and it can't have a...

    Remington 1100

    For what you describe, finding an 1100 with a modified barrel sounds like the right prescription. $500 should do the trick, unless you're in a big hurry, in which case, you'll likely have to pay a little bit more. If you're planning on getting serious about sporting clays, I'd spend the extra...

    Specifically, Premier STS or Nitro, thereby guaranteeing that you'll get a monopiece hull.

    Remington 1100

    I personally don't think so. If I'm going to spend in the $1K range on an autoloading 12 gauge, I'll buy a used Beretta A391. It all really depends on what you're looking for, and what you want to do with it. Are you looking for clays? If so, what game(s)? For the field? Are you thinking...

    Remington 1100

    I have several 1100's and 1187's. Unless you have a real need to fire 3" shells, there's no burning reason to get an 1187. For the cost of opening up a barrel, you're better off getting an 1100 barrel that's already threaded for chokes. New from midway or used from ebay, either will be a...

    When buying firearms, does grammar irritate you?

    I'm not going to lie, the one that really drives me up a wall is the inability of someone to know the difference between sell (a verb) and sale (a noun). I will sell you a rifle. I have a rifle for sale. ARGH.

    The Economics of the Shortage, Explained

    I guess it's time to go through my retelling of "how ammunition gets manufactured" again. Source: Me. I know the plant manager at Lake City (who was brought out of retirement), and have friends who currently work for both Olin in Illinois and Remington in Arkansas. Let's say that you're a...

    The WORST gun in your personal collection?

    I can play at this game as well. I have a Colt 1908 vest pocket pistol. Mine dates to 1912. The good: Colt's bluing. The bad: Literally everything else. It has a truly horrific trigger, what it claims are sights are actually just there to deceive you, as the only reliability it contains...

    Traveling w/a shotgun via Southwest Airlines

    I've flown shotguns, pistols, and rifles all over the country, using Southwest (and American), and never had a real issue. Follow the rules and the laws, don't be an idiot, and you'll be fine. http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/firearms-and-ammunition...

    Cleaning up the estate

    Willie, thank you for your advice. The paperwork is already drafted. Being somewhat of a control freak, I have purchased a safe with dehumidification system that is being gifted along with the shotguns, where they will live over the summer, as summers in Arkansas are not known for their mild...
