Just recently purchased the new Remington 870 retro home defense shotgun. Immediately it started Having ejection issues with fired shot shells. For every five rounds loaded into the shotgun, at least two or three would get hung up ejecting. I cleaned the gun and took it back to the shop that I...

I have the good fortune of owning 2 Winchester 12 gauge model 120 rangers. One of these started to double feed recently. The gun would only double feed after firing approximately 6 shells. I can never get it to double feed just cycling the action and not firing with just putting shells in the...

My brother has a new Henry 45 long colt. He’s considering doing some deer hunting later this year. His rifle is open sights and the shot would be no longer than 70 yards at most. He will be sighting the gun in with this ammo in the next couple weeks at 50 yards Bench rested. I was just...

I recently purchased a Henry side gate 410 lever action shotgun and have been on the hunt for some slugs. I found this brand on opticsplanet.com and purchased a few boxes. This Henry is a 20 inch smoothbore barrel with rifle sights. Bench rested @ 50 yards and shooting 35 rounds, I could not...

7 Shot group @ 100 yards from the bench. 4 of the 7 are touching. The scope is a 1 x 4 Bushnell Prime. The ammo is Winchester 30-30 150gr JHP. It has never been my experience with my lever actions over the last 33 years of just being mediocre for accuracy. I think people who get poor...

With Ruger now re-introducing Marlin, I see on the Internet people asking if micro-groove rifling was exclusive to Marlin firearms. Lots of chatter about the old JM models compared to what Ruger is introducing. Apparently, Marlin introduced Micro-groove in July 1953. By the late 1980s, Marlin...

I know there’s many reviews already on the Internet ..but here’s my experience and with the ammo that I used. This is my second Henry firearm I purchased in the last two years. My other Henry is the brass 30-30 side gate. Fit, finish and functionality is as close to Flawless as could be. I put...

My buddy was in the market for a Mossberg 500 retrograde because he really likes the old-school wood furniture on a pump action shotgun. We were finally able to catch up with a Mossberg 590 which is basically the same gun but with a heat shield over the barrel. This gun turned out to be a...

I’ve been on the hunt for a Mossberg 500 retrograde and all the gun shops are singing the same song that they haven’t seen a Mossberg in a very long time.

My brother recently purchased this gun for home defense and we had a chance to take it out today and see what it could do. We found out that it will not autoload bird shot for clay targets with approximately 1100 muzzle velocity. However, 00 buc in 2 3/4 and 3in mag load with an approx 1300...

I had the good fortune of stocking up on 30-30 ammo before the shortage with Winchester and federal ammo..150 grain. These days, I only find 30-30 federal ammo. I have two levers that are scoped. One is the new Henry side gate and the other is a model 94 that I bought new in 1990. Both are...

This gun is believed to be from the 1950s. The barrel simply says ...proof steel/Stevens and two and 2 3/4 inch shells. There’s no model number anywhere. My question is this, I have no idea what’s considered old school versus modern preasure type ammo... is it recommended to shoot nothing...

Although I purchased this rifle last December, it was too late for deer season then. It was ready this season with a new Bushnell prime scope mounted. Fortunately, I was able to take my limit with two deer this rifle season. With 20° temperatures along with some snow and drizzle, no tarnishing...

I tried out some new 00 Buckshot I found in a gun store this past week made in Italy. I bought a case consisting of 250 rounds for $200. Overall, I’m very happy with the quality of this ammo. 2 3/4 inch shells with 9 balls. I used my Winchester model 120 with a 20 inch smoothbore barrel...

I was in a gun store last week checking out some inventory in the used section and I found something that caught my eye. I found a Winchester model 120 12gauge. Apparently this gun is a variant of the model 1300 and was produced from 1986 to 1988 with only 5000 being produced.. all this...

I think we all know by now there’s a big shortage of hand gun and long gun ammo. I have also noticed that home defense shotgun’s and most lever actions are not available either. Two Henry firearms distributors told me there’s most likely a 1 year backlog trying to get a Henry firearm. No...

November issue of American rifleman features a nice review of the Henry side gate. As a recent new owner of this rifle, I would have to agree with their evaluation.

I found these metal stakes called ‘plant props’ from Vigoro in the garden center at Home Depot. The top edges on these props are round and bendable and work really well for holding the sporting clays. After zeroing in my scope @ 100 yds at the rifle range earlier this year, I wanted to have some...

Henry rifles running add on Newsmax channel. Very cool ad and I’m sure they’re going to gain lots of attention. What’s interesting to me is… I haven’t seen any ads for guns on any channels.
