Are there and company's that make new corn cob style forends that would work on a Maverick 88 outside of Boyds?

Just want to share a piece of information. I recently got Winchester SX4 24” 12ga compact for my son. The goal was to reduce recoil, but still get 12ga. I was concerned about cycling light loads. I thoroughly clean the gun and applied light lubrication. Well, it cycles 1oz 1150 2 3/4” 7.5 shells ~90% of the time when I shoot it and ~60% when my kid shoots it. This was just ~100 shells. I hope it looses up a little over time. I believe it’s also possible to get a different gas piston assembly from the sx3 days that was designed for lighter loads. We’ll see.

Looking to get my first shotgun. Living in Texas, mainly looking for an upland bird gun, but want to get some Turkeys and Duck as well. To be frank though, I think this gun will see a lot more clay than birds.

I’m primarily thinking semi-auto, but over under is also in the cards. Thought I wanted a 12 gauge, but after reading maybe a 20 is enough and a bit more forgiving? Was primarily looking at a Browning Maxus II, but open to all suggestions.

Not terribly price sensitive; just want to get a very reliable and long lasting versatile shotgun. Nothing over $2.5k tho.

Thanks in advance

Picked this up at CSMC’s sale last week. A nice little tool from measuring all shotgun chambers for gauges 10 down to .410 and it also determines choke in barrels with fixed chokes. Handy to have with you when looking for a used older gun or for checking what you have in your safe. Less than 5” long and slips into your pocket.

I was just gifted this beautiful over under! I love mossberg I have a maverick 88 that’s been used and abused and a 590, yet online reviews seem to be great yet people on here don’t seem to like it, why is this?

I really like the looks of the A400 upland. I would like to put a shorter barrel on it for home defense use. I thought I read that the 1301 comp 21" barrel would fit. What are my options?

The piston is stuck on my A400 xplor. Didn’t come off with the barrel. Thoughts on how to get it off?

In the market for another 12 gauge. Was at a gun show this weekend and I saw a H&K Benelli M1 Super 90 going for $949. Was in really good condition, guy said its seen less than 500 rounds in its lifetime. Got a business card to call back if interested. This would be my first Benelli, I have some other throw away shotguns that I got for less than $400. This would be the first big purchase for me. What should I look out for since its a used gun?

Just curious if anyone has found a website that will convert my 5 round SA to allow for a changeable magazine. Not even sure if this is possible, i am new to the world of shotguns. It just seems silly to not have a mag on a SA tactical shotgun.

I have just received an 1100 Remington 2 3/4 with a factory rem choke barrel. I am wondering if I will be ok to shoot steel shot out of it and if it was a steel proof since it had chokes.

Specifically Chaszel adapters if you’ve had experience with them, because it seems like their adapters might come the closest to making a proper rifle caliber/ shotgun combo gun.

It seems like combo guns are rare as is, so I was thinking of buying an affordable over under and putting a chaszel adapter in one of the barrels to make a combo gun.

If only I could find a .243 Win/12 gauge combo gun that isn’t hard to find or pricey.

With the addition of the Mossberg and Franchi this is the current state of my shotgun collection.

Hi. My grandfather passed away recently and left behind an F sarriugarte elgoibar espana. Its an over under double barrel. It is well maintained and stored safely. Should i go to a gunsmith to like * service * it ? Also due to its age is it safe to shoot all kinds of shells? Or are there shells i should avoid? Any other things i should loom for? I live in Greece and the guns here are only used for hunting.

Are there any new Remington 1100’s being made? I can’t find any for sale online or in my local gun stores. Also, if anyone has one, what material is the trigger guard made of? It looks like polymer in photos I’ve seen.

I’d like to sell these shotguns, could anyone tell me an estimated price on them, they have very light rust and work perfectly. Top to bottom:Naval arms ,Browning A-500G,Remington model 1100,Winchester model 50 (all 12 gauge)

Hey Folks,

I'm a bow hunter who has never hunted deer/turkey with a shotgun.

I got a mossberg 500 in .410 during Spring Turkey season, but wound up in the hospital and missed the season. Plan on busting it put after I tag my deer during (hopefully) during archery season for Turkey.

Recently purchased a Winchester SXP Marine Defender on an impulse buy at Bass Pro. Wondering if this would be suitable to use for deer/birds during shotgun season if I grab some extra doe tags. Or if if I should buy a different one with a longer barrel.

I've been shopping around for a first shotgun. I asked my coworker if he had any recommendations, and he mentioned that the pump on his 500 gets jammed up after about a box of shells. He has to hit the butt against the ground to get it unstuck. Has anyone else run into this? Also before anyone loses their mind, he is a very competent nearly lifelong gun owner.

Hi all,

Not sure if this is a good place for this or if r/NFA would be better, but I'm considering sending my Remington 870 Express 18.5in barrel in for a Van Comp treatment including porting, etc. I noticed they also include a barrel cut and crown service for $100. I've been interested in going the SBS route and getting a 14ish inch barrel, so this seems like a good of a opportunity as any if it will work out.

My question is, what is the order/process if I want to have someone shorten my full length barrel to SBS length? Do I need to apply for it before I pay for the service, or after? Also, I have multiple barrels including 28in field barrel and a slug barrel, etc, does the receiver need engraved or just the actual short barrel? I was hoping to get a better idea before I reached out to Van Comp. Any insight is appreciated, thanks.

I bought a victory choke for my A300 and of course it's not compatible with the Mobil choke wrench that came with the A300 and stock chokes.

Do I need the Beretta spanner wrench for the victory choke or can I just tighten it by hand enough to be sufficient, since it extends 1 inch outside the barrel?

Or is there a better spanner wrench option than the one that Beretta sells that has horrible reviews that say the tip breaks off? The only quality spanner wrench they make is for 20 and 28 gauge.

I just picked up one of these (not this exact one) and I’m trying to find choke tubes so I can use it for trap. I can’t tell if it already has a choke in it or if I have to add one myself. I don’t see anything in the barrel that a choke wrench could grab. If there’s not one already in it, where do I find them? Very new to the world of trap shooting so be gentle lol

The shortest Browning sells is a 22in barrel.

Since the barrel reciprocates on an Auto 5, would a 18.5in barrel have any malfunctions?

Is this a unique Browning A5 trait or are there other semiautos that can do it?

Hello I'm going to be getting my first shotgun soon a 12 Gauge semi automatic and was wondering if this would work without losing zero?it says the mounting is for ar platforms. If anyone has any good recommendations for redots please let me know
