I was looking at a Benelli Super Nova last night at the local Gander Mountain. First thing I noticed was that the rear sight appears to be made out of plastic. When the guns first came out I would swear that they used STEEL LPA sights. The sight looks the same but appears to be made of plastic...

Double.

Louis Awerbuck will be teaching his Stage 1 Shotgun course in Amarillo, Texas September 29, 30 and 31st. As many of you know Louis is probably the preemmient expert in the use of the shotgun for personal defense. He taught the course at Gunsite for many years, there is will currently cost you...

I bought one for my rifle and now someone else wants one and I can't for the life of me remember who sold these. The guy was a machinist as I recall, cost $60 and was very well made, dropped right in. It changes the safety from forward on to forward off....Anyone????

My uncle is in his early 70's and is moving to a much smaller home. He has been selling off alot of furniture, tools etc.....He has asked me to sell some guns for him. There are three shotguns in the lot and I plan to keep at least two of them.... There is an old Ithaca 20 gauge SXS...

I made my yearly buckshot order today. I looked at several different shells- Estate, Remington, Winchester and lastly Fiocchi. I wound up ordering Fiocchi's as they had the best price which surprised me as they are excellent shells-better than some of the other choices to my way of thinking. I...

Thinking about stocking up on 8 shot for SD practice and also dove hunting. Walmart carries Federal, Winchester and Rem. Value packs. Which seem to be the most trouble free? Or, would it be better to step up to the heavy dove or AA loads they carry?

Looking at getting a Saiga as a tactical shotgun. Biggest advantage seems to be the quickness of reloads vs. a pump gun. I am also intrigued by the idea that it would run EXACTLY like the Ak carbines that I favor for close work- I want the drill to be IDENTICAL in every way, no special drills...

In my quest to more cheaply shoot my riot guns I came across Rio cartridge company. They have apparently been around since 1896 but I have never heard of them before. They produce a low recoil no frills buckshot load that runs about $.30 a round- comparable to Sellier, PMC and Wolf but of those...

I have reloaded and cast bullets for over 20 years now. I have never reloaded shot shells. I am thinking about starting to reload buckshot rounds as they are 1. expensive 2. I shoot alot of them. What can you tell me about getting set up for this? I have a pile of once fired buckshot...

Louis Awerbuck will be hosting a Level II handgun course in Amarillo, Texas from September 29-October 1st. For those of you in Oklahoma, Texas, Eastern New Mexico and Colorado this is an excellent opportunity to attend one of his courses close to home. The course will be held on new range...

I recently bought a Remington 870 with a set of Scattergun Ghost ring sights on it. It had worn a side saddle at one time, it had a Choate pistol grip on it and the Remington factory synthetic forrend, 18" factory barrel. Anyway, the choke marking got my attention. It says, "CYL", no big deal...

I have come into a Colt stainless 80 series pistol. It came to me with two Colt slides- one with 9m/m breechface the other with .45 breechface. There are three barrels, a 9m/m (Kings) .38 Super-(Colt) and a Colt .45 ACP barrel. There is no way to make this work is there? The ejector on the...

Went to order some Estate Reduced Recoil buckshot yesterday. Sorry, no can do. Federal discontinued that load. Wonder why? Maybe because it shot as well as Federal Tactical and sold for $90 vs. $129? That torques me :cuss: . At least I still have 4 cases of it but I had wanted to add to the...

Does anyone have any knowledge of the Colt Series 80 safety failing and in some way disabling the gun? I know people dislike the system but I also know that a good gunsmith can do a pretty impressive trigger on a Series 80. The real question is how if at all has it affected reliability...

I need help in figuring out what I have. I bought a gun at a pawnshop today. It is a Springfield 1911 and is nearly identical to a "loaded" but differs in some interesting ways. First the frame is the old style with the flats in front of the grips. There were "Loadeds" made this way I know...

The terrible tragedy that is the Shasta Groene story should have all of us thinking about how we protect our families. Before kidnapping Shasta and her brother the POS watched them for days, noting their habits etc....He also used night vision goggles. He staked them out after seeing Shasta and...

Hve found 4 tons of linotype. I could move it by trailer and the owner will help load with a forklift-it's on pallets. He has it pretty cheap I think at 40 cents a pound. Last time I priced any wheelweights they were 20 cents a pound or more so that seems pretty fair. Thoughts?

I have quite a collection of semi abused and recuperating 870s. Most are from the late 50's early 60's-quail and pheasant guns carried alot, shot a little, cleaned infrequently and generally just hunted with. I added another one today. This gun is a 1955 Wingmaster, 28" barrel, modified...
