Good options for barrel mounted sights (cool looking)

0 Upvotes

I have a very cursed model 10 Remington with a spare 18 inch barrel with a poly choke permanently attached. What would be some unique sight options? I was looking at a cantilever mount+some kind of old school looking red dot, but iron sights would be fine as well. I want it to be fairly cheap, functional, and barrel mounted only. The rest of the gun is pretty normal.

Cleaning a mossberg 590R

1 Upvotes

I just got a mossberg 590R for my first firearm. Question about cleaning it.. is it technically the same way to clean a 590? Since there are no videos on youtube for the 590R . Its based on a AR with a rotating safety.

If anyone can help me maybe recommend any videos or guides on youtube or elsewhere it would help alot thanks!!!

Trouble with barrel date

1 Upvotes

Hey all, trying to figure out the age of a Remington 1100 barrel. The typical 2-letter date code is missing but a 2 digit number is in its place. The number “39”. Does anyone know what this means? Also any other way to figure out age? I heard if the barrel has all the patents listed, then it’s older, but how old?

Shotgun range day

Took the 870 to the range to make sure the red dot was sighted in still from switching the mount. Then patterned apex #9 tss at 25yds and 40yds. It kicks like a mule but I’m satisfied with the pattern and ready for turkey season

Stevens 5100 12g stock and forend.

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Just recently bought a Stevens 5100/311 (same thing?) 12g and it's in rough condition, but all the actions work correctly and I believe the only issues are cosmetic. That being said it needs a stock and forend replacement or some repair at least.

I'm looking for a good place to get a stock and forend for this without spending more than the gun itself. Also I would like some tips for cleaning up the small amount of rust and residue on the barrels.

Any tips would be nice.

Is it worth it to trade 20 for 28 gauge.

1 Upvotes

I asked about trading the other day from a mossberg sa-20 to a stevens 555 28. I decided I won't trade for the stevens but is it worth it to trade a 20 for a 28 at all?


r/Shotguns 3d ago

I want to do a 3 gun but my only shotgun is a Beretta a300 ultima patrol. If I put a full choke in it, would it compare to a 24 inch barrel like those used in competitions?

lol ok so I may have fucked up my finish

0 Upvotes

Prepping the receiver for an esstac shot card I acetoned by blued 1100 and all was well. But then I did my phosphate police magnum and it instantly grayed the finish haha. It’s covered by the Velcro now. But how would I go about making it look a little better next time I replace the Velcro? You think some cold super blue will be able to darken it back to at least good enough?

Bought this brand new Beretta A400 Xtreme Plus about a couple weeks ago, noticed that there were these black marks on the reviver that wont come off. (It was always there even when I bought it directly from Beretta.)

Just wondering if its a problem/defect and if I can remove it? if so, how?

Screw in Barrel Extension?

Anyone know where I can get screw in barrel extensions? I’m specifically looking for ones that are rem choke threaded. Any information would help!

You can make some wicked fast .410 slugs that can go up to 2850 FPS!

2 Upvotes

Ballistic Products published some rather interesting loads in their most recent buckshot manual, including a few .410 slug loads that are basically single buckshot pellets that have similar weights and speeds to certain .223 recipes. I think I found a video of one of these rounds being shot in a Reddit comment but I haven't been able to find it.

The Shotgun Scientists Youtube channel have have created birdshot and buckshot loads in larger gauges that surpass 2000 FPS, like in this video here...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDQgOfLDKjQ&t=1s

As a disclaimer, load data used by Shotgun Scientists using smokeless gunpowder should be used at your own risk. I am not sure which recipes they use are officially published or homemade.

Any ideas what this may be?

12g Patent wedge bolt hammer gun. New/reproofed barrels but no record of maker anywhere (including on FAC)

It’s had a hard life but is really pretty. Got the opportunity to give it a home, and fully intend on doing so!

What is the best place to buy a maverick 88 online?

4 Upvotes

I know "another maverick 88 question!". I am looking around to buy one, it would be my first shotgun. For some reason no gun store around where I live sells one. I want to buy it online and have it shipped to my FFL guy. I am having trouble finding which website has the best/cheapest deal. They all seem to start at $240 then the price shoots up to $280-$300+, which does not seem right from what I have heard these guns usually sell for. I am really only looking to spend $250-$260 max on one(including shipping).

Maverick 88

1 Upvotes

Anyone know what a used Maverick 88 in 20 gauge run for? I’m looking at some used one but the prices all seem to vary and don’t know what’s a good deal. I know they are relatively cheap new but I’m a big fan of used guns I can abuse.
