    Anyone use those shotguns with no butt-stock?

    I have one and it's been slower and more awkward for me than a short barreled shotgun. I'm going to put my regular stock and forearm back on asap. Mine has also slammed into my mouth when shooting 1 3/8 oz. loads at a very large rattle snake. Had me spitting blood. Not fun. Took a while to...

    Bad Winchester large pistol primers in circulation

    The primer pictured in the second post looks like excessive pressures to me. Try reducing your loads to a more reasonable level and your problems will be eliminated.

    Quick Question On Bear Gun

    When hunting with two guys we always used one rifle and one shotgun. At a close range , moving coyote, a shotgun is easier to hit with and is also good against larger critters. Most hunters already own a shotgun.

    Tips for a decent O/U in the $800 range needed

    Hopper FYI, Benelli is owned by Beretta, they are one and the same. I would look for a good used Browning Citori, Beretta, SKB or Winchester 101.

    Mag spring help

    While not supposed to, in the real world some springs, probably the majority, do take a set if left compressed for a long period of time. Rotating the springs will avoid this.

    Weapon mounted light on a handgun?

    I have both a handheld light and a weapon mounted combo laser/light. Don't plan to use the weapon mounted light unless all else fails. Plan A is to use the handheld light and the laser sight, but at 20 feet or less point shooting will be imployed.

    Carrying... If asked, how do you reply?

    In many jurisdictions it's against the law to tell someone that you're carrying concealed. Texas is especially strict concerning this issue. So, even jokingly I wouldn't say yes. I reply "That's really none of your business". or "why are you getting ready to do something violent?"

    Fiber optic sights...Any Opinions?

    I tried them for IDPA and didn't like them. They're O.K. for a flash sight picture, but hamper accurate aiming.

    I just bought a S&W model and i want...

    Unless you bought a S&W in a magnum caliber the entire revolver is not made of a steel strong enough to endure pressures of 35,000 or so. Just because the outward appearance is the same as revolvers chambered in .357 doesn't mean the steel is the same. Anybody who shoots a .38 super in a .38...

    My shotgun saved my life.

    Copperheads, while poisonous are seldom deadly to an adult. Rattlesnakes are truly bad news though as are cotton mouth moccasins. The last person I know of to get bit by a rattlesnake required 22 vials of anti-venum, 2 weeks in the hospital and still might lose their leg or foot. Cost just for...

    I am a veteran and have taken the texas cc course. There are no exemptions for veterans, but active military do not have to do the shooting portion of the test. I've taken the course twice and have found it very informative especially on the legal aspects of shoot or don't shoot. I would not...

    h&h question

    Back before the 300 win mag came out some very well known gunsmith co.'s were rechambering to the .30-.338. Most of these will chamber and fire .308 Norma Mag. just fine. From the first appearance of the .338 everybody said winchester was going to bring it out necked to .30 cal. When it finally...
