So I’m in the market for an affordable 20 gauge auto shotgun and have narrowed it down to these two Turkish made shotguns, the Stoeger M3020 or the Mossberg SA-20. Given these two options, which would you choose and why?

Has anyone ever tried this ammunition? If you did, how well did it perform for you? I currently use #3 and #4 buck in my 20 gauges because that’s what’s available. However, I am curious how well 9 pellets of .30 caliber #1 buck would compare to say 9-pellets of .33 caliber 00 buckshot that I...

So, I got a bunch of .30-06 and 7.62 NATO brass that needs to be reloaded for my Garand and 7.62 NATO rifles. I want to duplicate the M2 load data for the .30-06 and M80 load data for the 7.62 NATO ammo. The problem comes in when I am trying to use a bunch of Hornady 150 grain FMJ/BT bullets...

So the other night, I took my AK-74 in 5.56mm NATO outside and fired a few rounds off. Big reason is the deer have been making their way into the garden and a few shots going off tends to scare them away. I also used this time to do some slow motion filming with the Iphone so get a good view...

So I have been looking at the Canik TP9SA as a potential future purchase. From what I have been able to learn about them, they are accurate, reliable, ergonomic, have a decent trigger pull and a good capacity at 18 rounds in the mag. Of course, the low price is also an attractive selling...

So the internet is all abuzz about the VP9 test failure on MAC. However, keep in mind this is one persons test on ONE pistol! Of course the bashers come out of the woodwork condemning the entire design based on the poor performance of this one sample. Well, how do the other designs fare...

I've always been big on historical firearms and lately my attention has been turning towards the 2 most common police revolvers of the 40's through the 60's, the S&W M&P (later renamed the Model 10) and the Colt Official Police. I still haven't managed to get either one yet although one day I...

Hans Hunt is my local congressman from my district down in Cheyenne. I LOVE this guy!! When you move into this state, it's best if you conform to our way of life. Now when some liberal hippie ****** moves into our state, that's bad enough. However, when she starts spouting off that we need...

Has anyone tried the .54 Minie-balls in a Thompson Center Hawken rifle? Midway sells the mmould for this bullet but I'm not sure if they wil group very well with it.

I still have my very first front stuffer, an unknown brand .45 Hawken rifle and I still enjoy shooting it from time to time. That being said though, I am often finding myself wondering if it would be enough gun for deer? I'm not talking little swamp deer here, I'm talking grain fed critters...

So I brought out the .38 Special/.357 Magnum 1892 EMF Harford rifle with it's 24" barrel. I got this rifle for my ex years ago and it wasn't shot all that much. Anyways, I went to load it with the listed 12 rounds but was only able to load 10. Anyways, I pull the magazine cap off and find a...

I've pretty much narrowed down a choice between these two rifles for my son's first rifle but what is the difference between these two? I've heard that Crickett bought out the Chipmunk rifle but the Chipmunk is also still being sold as well. So just what are the differences between these two...

So with deer hunting season in full swing in some places, just what are the laws for hunting in your state? I'll start: Here in North Dakota, a rifle has to be a minimum of .22 caliber centerfire (I think .22 Hornet is the smallest you can go here) or larger although .50 caliber and larger...

Inspired by Seattle206's 870 he set up like a 70-80's LAPD shotgun, I figured I'd post a pic of my latest build. Originally she had a 18" barrel but when I came across the bayonet lug mount, I cut down a 30" barrel I had around here and sent it off to ADCO to have it parked. Turned out a...

I have a Remington 870 20 gauge Express defense model that I put a Remington youth synthetic stock on to shorten the length of pull. However, both the original stock and the youth stock have a higher comb height than I like. If I get down where I see the bead on top of the receiver, my cheek...

Ok, so I grew up shooting nothing but 12 gauges and 12 gauges only. Recently I got my son a Remington 870 in 20 gauge for him to grow into when he's old enough to handle one. Now I did want to take it out and test fire it for function as well as see how it would pattern with some #3 buck as...

Has anybody ever tried out the Choate MK-5 adjustable length stock? What did you think of it? How good is the recoil pad and is it heavier or lighter than say a factory or say a speed-feed synthetic stock?

Not sure if I'd ever get one but what uses do you feel the .410 has going for it? I'm sure it's a good rabbit and squirrel gun but what else? How about home defense? I see Midway is selling 5-pellet S&B 00 buck loads for the .410 with a muzzle velocity of 1230 fps. Does this have the makings...

So I've had my 500ATP for years now and it's a great gun. However, I never found out what the difference was between the standard Mossberg 500 and th 500ATP I have. Anybody know what's the story on the ATP models?

My last poll of which is the best shotgun of all time, the Winchester Model 12 or the Remington 870 is turning out to be pretty interesting and fairly evenly split (25 to 23 the last time I looked) in the voting. That got me to thinking of another question as to which one is better, the Ithaca...
