    Slug question...

    My only shotgun experience is with buckshot and foster slugs. I'm a bit confused over the various rifled slugs and slug barrels. Can a foster style with the rifling on the slug be fired out of a rifled slug barrel, and can a slug made for a rifled barrel be fired out of a smooth bore...

    Mossberg question...

    I'm looking of for a HD shotgun, and I really like the Mossberg. But they don't really offer anything with a 18.5" barrel that has an actual stock. I don't like pistol grips. What's the point? Anyway, they do offer a Cruiser model with the breaching piece on the muzzle. I could care...

    M&P-Forum ???

    I absolutely cannot get registered there. The registration screen comes up, but it's blank space. I've tried reloading. I've deleted all my cookies. I've done everything I know how to do and all I get is a blank screen. Anyone else have this problem?

    Favorite 8x57js hunting round???

    To be used in a Rem 700. I have one I'm trying to trade for .405win in a #1, but that just isn't going to happen. No problem. That 8mm is a hell of a gun itself. For some reason I haven't purchased any dies for it yet. Probably because I've never reloaded for a bottleneck rifle...

    Why don't the peckerheads put iron sights on anymore?

    With a few exceptions, if you want iron sites on your gun you're gonna have to pay a gunsmith. This just isn't right. All the peckerheads (gun manufactureres) need to step up and do the right thing. I'd happily pay the extra couple of dollars they're saving by selling rifles you can't...

    Who makes .475 bullet moulds?

    Do any of the big makers (lee, lyman, rcbs) make .475 moulds or is it strictly a custom order job?

    Rock River Arms - 1911

    So how good are these guns? They seem to be very well made and priced a good deal lower than even a lot of the standard production run guns from Colt, Springfield,Kimber, etc.. Is the standard match worth the $1100 price tag compared to the other big names? Not talking about Wilson...

    Franchi Question

    I recieved a Franchi model 48 in 20g from my father. Last time he used it it functioned normally. I recently was preparing for a dove hunt and decided to use the Franchi, which I have not shot before. While checking to see if it had a plug I loaded up the tube. When I tried to...

    375H&H - is it too much power.....

    ....for deer? I know that in full power loads it is, but if one were to download it to around 2,500fps would it still damage too much meat? I was wanting an all around rifle that could easily handle deer up to wild pigs or larger. I was looking at a stainless Ruger #1 in .375 and...

    Parkerizing.....why so $$$$$

    In handguns, parkerizing is considered one of the cheapest finishes to use cost wise, yet when you start looking at shotguns they want to charge extra. What's up? Is it really more expensive to parkerize a shotgun than to blue one, or are the makers just cashing in on customer demand...

    I'm trying to put a square b scope mount on a 1903 Springfield, but the elevation site assembly is in the way. Is there a way to remove this without sending it to a gunsmith?

    Dragons' Breath

    Has anyone ever used any of this stuff? It looks utterly nasty. Might work great for bear defense if you don't mind burning down the forest around you. I was thinking of picking up a few rounds just for the fun of it. Will it hurt the shotgun...

    Who makes the shorter stock?

    Which company makes a tactical shotgun with the shortest stock? I'm issued a Win 1300, but it feels like it was made for someone with arms about half a foot longer than mine, and I'm 5'10, so I'm not really small. It's like I'm stretching to reach everything. Of the 1300, 590, 870...

    Really Weird things going on in my 340pd

    I just picked up a 340pd and was doing some dry firing, trying to get a feel for the trigger (it really stacks a lot btw), and I happened to point at a mirror in a dark room. When I pulled the trigger, I noticed a what looked like sparks in the barrel. Sure enough, after double checking that...

    How many people think that if a person is shot with a .45acp they will be knocked down, or even backwards?
