    Browning BPS

    Good morning all. I know it might seem bizarre to you all over in the U.S, but here in England the BPS is a pretty rare gun. Theres plenty of 870s and Mossbergs about ,but if I look on the two main gun sales websites today there are two for sale in the whole country, one is in camoflauge, I...

    Any Benelli experts here?

    I have a Supernova that jams every so often. Like, it jams so hard you have to remove the trigger assembly to free it up. I'm hardly a prolific poster on here, but over the years a fellow poster has had some very good info about Remingtons (I think he's called The Virginian) and even further...

    Remington 11-87 problem?

    I've just bought one of these guns, first auto loader for a while, and I've not had the chance to fire it yet (until sunday) so I'm sitting here in the garden trying to load shells into the magazine. I had an 1100 a few years ago, so I'm very familiar with it. But, I pull back the bolt to...

    Bought a Benelli

    Went yesterday and bought a Benelli SuperNova. I've been meaning to do it for a couple of years, and finally got round to it. First thing I notice when I compare it to my beloved Wingmaster - it is UGLY. I mean, really ugly. Also, it's very stiff compared to the Remington too, but then I...

    A favour

    As I've said in a previous thread, I've broken the inner tube on the forearm of my Remington 1100. It's not a part that's listed, so a whole new forearm appears to be the only answer. I've managed to find another forearm, but its very used, completely the wrong colour and not the best of...

    Invite me to your range :)

    I just read that closed thread about UK (I prefer GB tbh :p ) shooters, I know it's closed an all, but can I just say if I'm ever in the States and anyone wants to invite to to their range I'll be there quicker than you can bat an eyelid :D

    Remington parts help

    Well, my aged Remington 1100 has broken something else now, this time it's the metal part inside the forearm, the end of which you tighten the nut onto as a detent to stop the barrel coming off. (Hope that makes sense!) Basically the circular bit on the end has snapped off the metal tube...

    Good gun shop

    I rang one of the gun shops I use the other day, as I was thinking of getting a Benelli Super Nova. We chatted for a bit, and I commented that I might want to exchange my Wingmaster for it. The bloke on the phone said yeah we can do that, but you know the Wingmaster is a better gun, right? I...

    Pigeon Shooting in England

    Here is a documentary I found about the mighty George Digweed shooting pest control. Thought it might give my American friends an idea of what still goes on over here :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sv__kKiqAg&feature=player_embedded#at=1092

    Latest Remington 1100 problem ...

    After 100 clays today I took my Rem 1100 apart for cleaning, on reassembly the bolt would simply NOT lock into place. I've taken the gun apart now about 10 times and I'm pretty confident everything is in the right place, but still I cannot pull the bolt back. The barrel will not fit back onto...

    Another Remington 1100 problem

    After 100 sporting clays today -luckily on the last bird! - my 100 wouldnt fire. Pull the trigger *click* but no fire. Tried it a few times, same thing. Come home, field stripped the gun and a small piece of metal just fell out. Obviously something wrong, I'm just taking it apart now, but...

    Bit of 870 trigger help please?

    Evening folks this afternoon I've been pigeon decoying, it was going great with two birds for two shots, then my gun wouldnt cock, and I had to come home :( Taking the gun apart at home shows that a washer was stuck in the spring. Removed washer, gun now cocks fine. However I can't see...

    A world championship in four different decades!

    Clay shooter George Digweed recently won a world title at the Italian Grand Prix, making at least one world in the '80s, '90s, '00s and now in 2010. What a shot!

    Regular cleaning of a Rem 1100

    I've just returned from a round of sporting clays, and cleaned the barrel of my gun as I always do. But as the 1100 is the first gas operated shotgun I've owned, I'd like to check that I'm cleaning it correctly. as well as the barrel, I've also cleaned - The two washers below the O...

    Dating a Remington

    As a few of you might remember, I'm a bit of a fan of an old Remington shotgun :) With this is mind I bought myself today a little 1100 in reasonable, though not mint, condition to go with my 870 Wingmaster. I know Remington have a phone line where you can date your gun, but as I live in a...

    1100 vs 11-87

    Guys, what exactly are the diferences between these two guns? I recall the 1100 was dropped, and then reintroduced after a while as the 11-87 had some shortcomings for some people? Any info? Thanks :)
