I have done some damage to my shoulder and haven't been able to shoot since last August. My doctor said the shoulder looked good and gave me a tentative all clear for a small amount of shooting. Even though it was below freezing, it was warmer than it has been and I was climbing the walls to...

A couple weeks ago I ran across an old 26" IC plain barrel 12ga Wingmaster in need of a new home. It was priced to move, and I was in need of a beater field and house gun. From it's previous life, it came plenty of hunting scars, carry wear, rust, and close to 50 years worth of grime. It took...

Recently I broke the extractor on an older express in 410. Not being very mechanical, I was getting ready to drop it at the smith to be fixed. On a whim I checked youtube and found a video by AI & P where he was able to replace the extractor in a matter of 30 seconds. That was enough to get...

It has taken me close to 30k shells over the last 4 years 1 month and 6 days to get my first straight, but I have finally done it. I have bad eyes and stayed away from shotguns for most of my life mostly because I was left eye dominant (among other eye issues) and right handed. When I...

I've had my Mec Sizemaster about 5 years now. It's a mid 70's 12 ga model that I picked up for $30 used. The only piece I had to replace was the wad guide as the plastic fingers were missing when I bought it. It served me well, but since discovering skeet last year I've been shooting about a...

I started shooting shotguns about a year ago and I'm looking for my first dedicated clays gun. Since last August I've put between 13k & 14k rounds through a pair of wingmasters (12 & 20) playing skeet. In June I took a friend for his first time and he had a great time. Shortly after our trip...

Was poking around the internets tonight and stumbled upon a 28ga Benelli. I would be really happy if they would import this shotgun. What do you think about it? translated by babelfish as I dont speak Italian. http://www.benelli.it/Articoli/Armi.asp?ID=980

The last time I shot my 1100 LT 20 was about a month ago. I put two shells through it at the skeet field to see if it would cycle my reloads. It did so without any issues at all. Tonight, I was doing some reloading and made some adjustments to my press as I wanted to go to 3/4 oz from 7/8...

A friend of mine brought his 28ga BPS to the skeet range a few weeks ago and I got to shoot a couple shells from it. I just swung, shot, and smiled. Im not a huge fan of the bottom ejecting guns, but this was more than a little fun to shoot. It got me thinking about a 28 ga wingmaster. I have...

I've been looking for a nice used short light 20 ga for a while and happened upon a Franchi 48 Black Magic at the right price. It has a 24" choke tube barrel and a straight grip stock. I'm not a fan of straight grip stocks and figured I could just get a replacement stock so I gave Benelli USA...

Disregard, I read my manual incorrectly.

I have an Ithaca / SKB over under 12ga with chrome lined barrels. It is choked mod and full but patterns full and fuller. I originally picked up to shoot trap, but realized that I like skeet much more. Is it possible to have it cut for tubes without ruining the bore with flaking chrome? If...

I've owned a shotgun for a number of years but rarely shot it due to a cross eye dominance issue. Last June, I tired of shooting pistol at paper targets and decided that I wanted begin the journey of becoming a proficient shotgunner. I practiced mounting left handed and started with trap and...

I have an 870 police gun I bought new about 6 yrs ago, but dont shoot all that much because of the heavy trigger. I put about 2500 rounds through my wingmaster since June, but only shoot a box or two of shells a year through this gun. I would really like to lessen the trigger pull and use it...

I was just given an older Hunter Arms LC Smith 12ga SxS by my Aunt. The gun was my uncles field gun. I had it broken open to bring home and when I got home with it, I noticed that the firing pins were sticking out like there was no longer a spring in there. Is this how it is supposed to...

I have an extra NEF Pardner receiver that has been bugging me sitting on the shelf with out a barrel on it. I had a 24" 12ga turkey barrel which I sold a couple years ago. I'm trying to figure out which replacement barrel I should get for it. My father just gave me his old MEC 600, but I...

I've been shooting for many years, but for the most part have stayed away from shotguns due to wrong eye dominance situation. I've had an old wingmaster for a number of years, but it was set up as a slug gun with a scope. Well for my 37th birthday, I got my gumption up and decided to go shoot...

I took a new shooter with me to the range today. I brought along a Ruger Mk III and a S&W model 17 and two bricks of federal bulk pack. He was a bit nervous at first, but hit his stride and we went through 1100 rounds. The rimfire range has target hangers at 7, 15, and 20 yds. Also at 20yds...

Please forgive me if this is a dumb question, but I'm new to reloading and don't want to harm anyone including myself or my revolvers. I was at a gunshow this morning and found a good amount of boolits for 38/357, but the selection was rather slim in .429 for my .44 special. I got a...

Since I have picked up a 6" S&W model 17 and run a bunch of rounds through it on a regular basis, my overall revolver shooting has improved a good deal. I really like this revolver and can whack steel plates at 25 yds with it now. I feel like I have dramatically improved as a shooter since...
