shotgun

Hello all, I recently bought a TS12 shotgun, and for some reason, the top picatinny rail front/back is shaped in a way that doesn't allow slide-on sights and index clips to be installed. Since I was unable to get said gear on, I had my buddy eventually force them on, which caused shaving of...

Hey guys/gals, I did my homework BEFORE posting; that is to say I did a Google Image Search and amazingly, found nothing matching after scrolling through pages of results. I have what appears to be a sight mount for obviously a Mossberg shotgun and I'm just wondering since there is no...

The title is rather self-explanatory. I've my own ideas, yet seek the advise of others. Gauge: I'm a fan of the 20 gauge, yet I'm totally open to ideas that prove me wrong and advise using a 12-gauge. Cartridges: I'm one who looks to small-sized buckshot for defense rounds when attackers...

Double cringe build kinda needs a forearm. https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/double-cringe-build.917226/ Sometimes referred to as "the shoulder thing that goes up". I believe this is called a splinter forearm but I'm more of a beaver tail guy. As you can see there's some exposed...

Pointer Tek3 is made by KRC in Turkey and imported by Legacy Arms. The 12ga shotgun came with a full set of extended chokes, buttstock shims, and a choke wrench. The wood is Turkish walnut with nice grain and a matte finish. The receiver appears to be cerakote. The barrel is 28" and has a...

Hello folks, I got a Mossberg 500 recently. My uses are home defense and hunting. I have a short and long barrel respectively. Mine is a plain Jane synthetic stock. I’m thinking upgrading the stock, forehandle, equipping a side shell holder on top maybe with picatinny rail, and attaching a...

Does anyone know of a supplier for black powder shotgun shells? Specifically 20 gauge. I recently acquired a double barrel shotgun that belonged to my great grandfathers uncle. When I was a kid I used to shoot this shotgun all the time but my great grandfather and I had to hand load the shells...

Thoughts on a mossberg shock wave or similar 14 inch barrel shotgun with pistol brace for close range bear defense in conjunction with a regular pistol?

At first I was thinking I had bought a range toy and nothing else but this Shockwave has been growing on me. Positive #1: This little gun with the birdshead grip is pretty fun to shoot, and I have been having a fun time learning how to shoot it. I just learned I needed to be patient and...

Hey all, I’m currently in the market for a home defense shotgun. I would like for it to be a reliable semi auto in 12 gauge of course. I was thinking just a base model of the mossberg 930. Heard they were pretty reliable for the price. I also want to be able to have the option to put it in...

So I've owned numerous pump guns over the years, but decided to dip my toes in the auto waters with a Stoeger m3000 freedom series. I know normal maintenance on my pumps is lube the rails and bolt followed by wiping the bolt off with a clean rag. On a semi auto how much and what type of lube do...

It looks as though my home state of Minnesota is really going ham on banning lead based hunting ammo and lead sinkers for fishing. I've only found Nosler and maybe Federal, but only online. Granted I live in Nebraska now, but I may as well try to get ahead of the curve just incase something like...

Hi, We have recently purchased a side by side shotgun with a boxlock. It says it is a "sniper". We have had a look at the proof marks and it seems this is a Spanish shotgun however the serial number which begins with PG does not match up with the Spanish serial number format. I have attached...

Hello everyone. I was hoping to seek some help from the masters on an issue I can’t seem to fix. I refinished my grandfathers old Springfield model 67 series B 20 gauge shotgun and I can’t seem to get the shells to load in the magazine tube. I push the shells in and they just want to slide right...

My grandfather bequeathed this double-barrel shotgun to my dad back in 1972 when he passed away, and Dad left it to me. No markings of any kind that I can find. I have at least some of the missing pieces in a baggie. It's in the same condition that it was in 1972, which is poor. My...

Today I was literally handed a box with a shot shell reloading press and a bunch of other stuff. I've been reloading for rifles for 13 years, Handguns for 6. I haven't the foggiest idea what the process for shotgun shells is. I realize there are more steps involved. I also realize that a mentor...

I recently bought a Stevens model 620 trench gun. I would like to find out the date it was made along with value and info on the stamps on it. I have pictures that I can send.also this web site is hard to navigate!

In hopes of receiving information with regards to minimising the chance of general injury i was wondering wether somebody has any advice on the safe construction of legal homemade slam-fire shotguns. My main worries relate to barrel blowout and schrapnel injury - potentially leading to loss of...

I’m wondering if it would be safe to shoot slugs in a Stevens 58 bolt action 12 gauge. I’m not overly concerned about the chokes, but I am wondering if the bolt with the one locking lug (from what I can see) can handle the recoil and pressure.
