If like me you have replaced the MIM ext that came with your 870 Express with a forged ext that is standard on a Wingmaster or Police model check to make sure the new ext has the top edge beveled like on your old one. Remingtons total disregard for any QC has resulted in ext's being sold that...

I replaced my stock 870 Express mag spring and follower with a Wilson Combat extra power spring and follower a while back,I had to file grooves on the follower to clear the dimples in the mag tube.I am squirrel hunting this weekend on public land and since Woodcock is in season I installed the...

I bought a new magazine for my Glock 19 and when I got home I noticed something that was different from all my others,it had a cut out for the ambi release that the sf frame models use.The follower is slightly different in the area that engages the slide lock also.When inserted the magazine...

A friends 1979 vintage nickel plated series 70 1911 broke the collet bushing today at the range.This was a much carried but not much shot gun when he bought it in 2004,it has had maybe 5 or 6 hundred rounds shot through it since.Colt does not use the collet bushing anymore,does anyone trust the...

Yesterday I got the 870 Express upgrades in the mail,along with Jerry Kuhnhausens manual,and installed them tonight.Thanks for letting us Express owners know about the upgrades.The only part I did not order was the sear spring,after researching it I felt that the only reason it was stronger was...

Does anyone know where to find an online reference that has SAAMI specs for shotgun shells.The only place I have found is in the Lyman reloading manual and I do not have one of those.I have been able to find info on chamber pressure specs,but no specs on dimensions of the hulls and bases.:confused:

I have read a lot here on cheap shells causing problems.I bought a box of #9 Win AA's in 20 ga in 2001.Nine rounds of these would not go into the magazine because the rims were either oversize or out of round.The gun is an Ithaca 37 made in 1942.The other 16 shells in the box worked fine,has...

I would like to say hello, and also tell about how this site solved a big problem me and two friends were having with three new shotguns.Last summer the three of us bought new guns,two 870 expresses and a Maverick 88.I shot 3 boxes of Rem.Express extra long range #6 shot,ten rounds of 3''...
