My Granddad’s Speedmaster has two serial numbers.

One stamped and the other written on it with an engraver. Not sure what to think about this. Anyone seen anything like this before?

New stock

I want to change the stock on my model 770. It’s a youth but I should be able to just change stocks as long as I get a short action right?

I’m trying to put a pistol grip on my 20 gauge 870 but the bolt is stuck. What do I do?

As you can see in the picture, I put enough oil in there that it makes the Pacific Ocean look small. I just need help, bro.

Question, are OEM top folding “law enforcement only” stocks still sought after?

I know a lot of people don’t like them and they get some flack here on Reddit but it seems you can’t ever find them anymore for sale. If they are soooo bad wouldn’t we see people trying to dump them? Like it’s been months or years since I’ve come across 1. Just wondering. And is Ruger planning to produce them again?

870 Wingmaster - a different barrel

I'd like to pick up a 2nd barrel for my old reliable 870 Wingmaster. I'd like something shorter (18.5"?) and I'd like it to be suitable for steel ammo too. What should I be looking for, and where should I be buying it?

887 port cover sticking

Anyone here have one of these 887s and have the port cover stick halfway and jamming the action? Cure?

Remington 742 woods master

Hey everyone, I’m trying to replace the stock on my hunting rifle. Unfortunately, it cracked and it’s looking to be unfixable. It’s almost impossible to find one specifically for the 742 woods master on EBay, so are there any stocks that will fit on it or recommendations on where to find some? Tried google, but I’ve heard conflicting answers

What grain ammo to use

I recently inherited two Remington rifles: a 7400 and a 742 Woodsmaster. I took both into a local shop for service and just to get looked over. The gunsmith told me not to shoot 180 grain as it created too much pressure for the rifle to safely handle and would lead to premature wear. He recommended that I don’t go above 165 grain. I believe he was referring to the 742 when he said this.

I realize the 742 is not the most reliable rifle, but does anyone know if there is any truth to this?

Growing up, my dad only shot 180 grain. The 7400 especially is very sentimental to me and I don’t want to do anything that would damage it.

Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.

Can someone help with info about an old Remington shotgun I inherited from my Grandpa?

I inherited an old shotgun from my grandfather and would love to know when it was made. Would add a cool factor to the memory thinking about when he would've first been out hunting ducks with it on the Chesapeake. If you can help thanks so much, and if not thanks for checking in!

Remington 1100 LT Cycling Issue

Hello all. I have a Remington 1100 LT 20ga that is having issues cycling. I am able to fire the first shell that is loaded into the open action however, the following shell gets about halfway out of the magazine tube where it gets stuck. Typically I can pull the bolt handle back and get the stuck shell to load. I've already replaced the action spring, carrier assembly, and the barrel seal. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Stock Swapping question?

Edit 3: My questions have been sufficiently answered.

I wanted to know if its possible to take the reciever of one model of remington 700 and put it into the stock of a different remington 700, because I want a reciever that has a pic rail, but a wood stock. i dont like the furniture of the options with the pic rail, and the wood options dont have a pic rail, so is it possible to swap stocks and recievers with no issues?

I want the pic rail of this

but the wood stock of this

or maybe the polymer stock of this

edit: id like to be able to use ar10 style mags, but i just realized i probably wouldnt be able to, right? and i realized the mags of the ones with the stocks i like wont be compatible with the reciever of the one i like, would it?

Edit 2: i thought those were ar10 mags but i guess not. I dont know what they are then

Norinco 870 Clone Not Feeding

I picked up this cheap Norinco Hawk 982 and it isn't feeding rounds from the magazine. I'm not familiar with 870 patterned shotguns so I'm at a loss. Any suggestions?

Remington quality

Has Remington pulled their head out of freedom groups arse yet? I need them to step up their quality and fix a rifle I bought from them years ago.

What started off as a $379 Wal-Mart Remington 700 ADL has turned into a BDL with sub-MOA accuracy at 700 yards

$2000 later, it weighs about 14 pounds.

That weight reduces the recoil from Hornady's 30-06 Springfield 180 gr SST Superformance ammo to that of a .22 LR and it turned out to be a sub-MOA rifle at 700 yards that can shoot all day.

I'm an aging former US Marine, but I still like to watch the steel dance at 600+ yards. 😁
