    1897 ammo

    Hmmm? With a modern wad, does the shot even touch the barrel? Or are you thinking copper plated might not adapt to the very full choke on a 97?

    Compact 20 ga

    How about taking her to hold different guns? Fit is where it’s at. She needs to hold it the way you do, & for women, unless you are shopping for an expressly women’s gun, that usually me usually means a youth or bantam model. If it doesn’t fit, she will have to move her weight way over, over...

    Good over/under other than a big "B"

    There are several Turkish models. If you read other forums, you’ll see they are generally approved for the “one-box-per-year” crowd. If you’re not going to shoot it much & may not be too worried if both barrels shoot at the same place, you won’t find a lot of complaints. Those that shoot them...

    New owner of a Model 42 Winchester

    Yeah! They only made about 5000 per year. My LGS had this one for $720. Mine has carry wear, just ahead of the receiver. The blueing is good. It passes all of the tests for a Model 12.

    It points like magic. I shoot sporting clays with it about as well as I do with a 12 gauge! Is there anything special I need to know about maintenance?

    Sleeper Shotguns

    It’s not new, but I am constantly impressed with Winchester M37’s. Very simple. Goes bang after 60-80 years

    How much less recoil does 20ga have?

    Felt recoil is a product of gun weight, velocity, and shot weight, plus a little wiggle for fit. Here is a link to a recoil calculator: http://www.omahamarian.org/trap/shotshellenergy.html do the math for your own answer.

    Winchester 1897

    I need to do your project, but haven’t gotten there yet. Have you been to Marauder’s webpage? And there are at least two YouTube videos about assembly/disassembly

    Winchester 37 help needed, please.

    Just outside Chicago. I paid $200 for red letter 12 gauge about 4 years ago. I held a pigtail model where they were asking $300. There is a 16 gauge in a local gun shop right now for $250. I have seen 410’s in the $300 range and held a 20 gauge, modified choke this past summer worn almost white...

    Briley Briley claims they can put chokes in old guns so they tolerate steel.

    TriStar Upland Hunter O/U or Hatsan Escort Optima D12 O/U Opinions

    Elsewhere, these get very poor reviews. Like if you shoot less than a box per year, you might be okay. Those reviews cite a regular litany of objections.
