Naw, I'm the one with the Chinese clone of the Ithaca 37, which has loving reddish-brown "woodlike colour" paint. If I can get a decent close-up, I'll post - might shave off some more off the stock, just to behold the glory  of the wood below.

Gtab posted:This is a fantastic answer. You aren't going to know that it's 12ga over 20ga when you use it. I suggest a 12ga. That's a very common misunderstanding. Most commercial ammunition has almost the exact same load in 12 and 20 gauge with just a few pellets less in 20. The 20 gauge shotgun will however be a lot lighter than its 12 gauge cousin. That's quite practical when hunting for several hours, but the tradeoff is that the the shotguns lesser weight will add the felt recoil. A 20 gauge generally feels a bit snappier than a 20 gauge. Not that either is a problem at all. Anyway, a 20 gauge #00 Buck to the chest will kill you just as dead as a 12 gauge #00 Buck will.

2 questions A) I have a Fabarms FP6 I'm trying to shed (too light and tacticool for my tastes, though I love the foregrip). What would these go for in a cruiser-worn state, since "Fabarms" only brings up O/U's and other unrelated guns on auction sites. B) I have a Benelli M1 that I love, but I want to get a longer ribbed barrel for hunting waterfowl. Where could I get one that doesn't cost more than the gun itself?

Hey, so my girlfriend's dad is look for a Mossberg 500 Cruiser 20ga. I can find some 12ga no problem but that 20ga is an illusive one. Could you guys help me find one for him that isn't >$250 ? Note: The Cruiser has the pistol grip.

Flanker posted:I had one of these. I couldn't even give it away. Throw it over the border for me. Then I can dual-wield.  I expect Ithaca furniture will fir - I know the barrel won't, as the inscutable Orientals have changed the mounting somewhat. (Not that I've seen a lot of 18" riot barrels with extended mag tubes, anyway.) They also changed over to a dual-action bar setup, so I guess that's OK.

Could you guys help me find one for him that isn't >$250 ? Mossberg makes a 20ga pistol grip cruiser. It's a six shot, and the item number is 50450. A Mossberg dealership should be able to order one for you, but you're at their mercy for the price, and Mossbergs cost > $250. They also make a .410 (#45455), so if you're looking for a silly pistol grip, there's plenty of options. If buying one new isn't an option, there's a chance you could find one at a gun show for ~$200 (in lovely condition, perhaps) and then put a pistol grip on it. The grip will probably cost >$40 new, maybe you could find one in a bargain bucket or something for cheaper though.

Does anyone have any information about the Mauser-Bauer 72-E Over/Under Double Barrel Shotgun? I went hunting in Iran and I was using some Mauser o/u shotgun, and this is the only thing that came up when I searched Mauser Shotgun. And now I'm thinking of buying one as my first gun.

Hell yeah shotgun thread is back  Wingmasters rule. What to do with accessories depends on what you want out of it. If you want to tactical/HD the thing, it's pretty hard to beat a Surefire forend and a speedfeed stock. Hogue forends are pretty comfortable too. Crosspostin'  Got a Stoeger Uplander, 24" 12ga SxS. Comes with an IC and Modified choke, and it led me to a couple questions. 1: Am I risking any damage to the chokes by firing buckshot through either barrel with the chokes? I don't see myself firing slugs through these because 12ga slugs through a break-action shotgun sound more like an adventure in pain. 2: I'm mostly going to use this gun for fun, and maybe some hand-thrown clays. Are there any more chokes I should use?

Groda posted:What makes a good trap load? A good trap load would have to be a 1oz load, 7 1/2's, that runs around 1250 fps, oh and do not forget 2 3/4 dram. This is a popular load that American Trap shooters use. But that load is good for singles only in American Trap. If you shoot doubles then you will want to use a 1 1/8 oz, 7 1/2, 2 3/4 dram, around 1300 fps for your 2nd shot. Hope this helps.

Pyruvate posted:How is the Stoeger Condor as a skeet/trap gun? It's only good if you just want to play around in the two sports, but if you want to compete you will want to look at something with better quality. A cheap but yet still good shotgun for Trap or Skeet would be something like a Verona semi-auto or say a Remington 11-87 or 1100, with the threaded barrel so that you could change your chokes. But if you really dont have a price limit, then a Beretta Al 391 Urika or the Beretta Xtrema 2 , both semi autos, are great buys and reliable from both Trap and Skeet. shotgunsRmylife fucked around with this message at Apr 13, 2009 around 02:17 |

I am looking for an 18" rifled deer barrel for either a Winchester 1200 or 1300. I am having no luck. I have checked Midwest, Buds Gun Shop, and Winchester just wants double other places. I have been able to find smooth bore deer barrels at some stores, but not rifled. Will I just be stuck using a smooth bore and rifled choke or does someone have a hidden place to get one. Also, on the same shotgun, if the slide is closed, and I tilt the gun vertical, the forend will slide down about 1/2", along with everything internal. The bolt will still stay locked, but I still would like to know if I should get this checked, or if anyone has any advice.

I've been bursting at the seams to share the news and the shotgunnery thread seems appropriate. I just broke my first straight in trap yesterday. Shot three games, broke 23-25-23. The new Cynergy Sporting I box-thread'd a month or so ago was with me on the line. I bought it as a skeet gun, but with how high it shoots it's perfect for trap. I just screw in an I/M choke and start blasting. I also shot at a different club yesterday and I was able to shoot lead instead of steel. WOW, what a difference there is in what should have been an "equivalent" load. The lead loads absolutely ground up the birds with every hit. It was really pretty obvious how much more energy lead has downrange over something like steel. I'd shot a few 24s with steel at my regular club, so it's definitely POSSIBLE to go straight with steel, but I felt like I couldn't miss with lead. It's too bad I can't go to this other club more regularly- my average score would be way higher.

I can and have shot hte rifled slugs out of this barrel, I just wanted the option of shooting saboted slugs. The guys I went hunting with last year used them, and they worked pretty drat well, and seem to have better ballistics than rifled slugs. I had thought of just getting a new shotgun, but meh, I don't know about that. As for the age, I'm not sure. I know they stopped making the model 1200s in 1981. SO its probably going on 30 years old, and its not doing it today. GO figure. If you know where I can find the age, that would be awesome. The serial number is in the L94**** range.

Before getting a rifled barrel, I'd recommend giving a box or two of Federal Truball slugs a try in your gun. They're a rifled slug with a hard plastic ball behind the slug that helps the rifling engage the barrel. They've proven just as accurate as sabots for me, and usually run about $4-5 per box of five, quite a bit cheaper than sabots. Cabela's has them in stock, and apparently I'm not the only one who loves these things, average review there is 4.8/5 stars, and 100% of reviewers say they'd recommend them to a friend. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/t..._link&cmCat=CRR

Those look good. I'll have to pick up a box or two of those. I still want to get a shorter barrel. 28" is just a little long to be trekking through the woods. If these are good, I can just get an 18" smooth bore deer barrel. I hate using a bead.
