There is more to an attractive shotgun than highly-figured wood and gold-inlay engraving. The lines and proportions must be pleasing to the eye....
The only hearing protection I've found that doesn't interfere with the stock are the custom-molded silicon inserts. I have a pair from E.A.R. that...
Boddabing.
Don't be too surprised if it's worth just about what you paid. It IS a beautiful gun.
Pun intended?
Cost? That's be my guess.
Anyone ever see a Winchester 96 with a duck on it? No. But I once saw a Remington 870 with a chocolate Lab sitting on it ....until I yelled at her....
Dawg, I know my post could be confusing, but you are the person I would have a beer with.
After reading this exchange, I'm not wondering who the law expert is, rather who is the person I'd rather NOT have a beer with. ...and it ain't the...
Did you break the large piece of a target from an adjacent field? If you did, then "lost". If you didn't, then "lost".
My thought is: personal preference. Which one appeals to you more? It's not like one or the other is going to make a difference in you winning or...
Time for a hug?
A. Put a piece of duct tape over the pin heads. B. Go back to the stock pins that don't fall out. C. Ask the genius who made your custom pins. D....
Do they stick?? Those first several shots, I mean. I've never had the problem, so I wouldn't know. Perhaps someone who has had the problem could...
A possible explanation might be this: The hot barrel gets larger. This allows the steel heads to expand further upon firing. The steel heads then...
Only if the steel expands past its yield point. Only an excessively-large chamber would allow for that.
If flame came out of the muzzle, then the wad had to have left the barrel. How would the scorer know that no wad had come out? A shell consisting of...
But...is Cindy still checkering stocks??
Not even any smoke with the 'disappearing' clays? Those WERE some magical shells. Assuming you meant "8/12" to be "8 1/2"-sized shot, 1 1/8oz of the...
Not enough to worry about. By the time the two sizes separate enough to matter, they have gone beyond effective range. Neither birds nor clays have...
If I'm shooting only teal (small ducks), I like 4's as well. Anything larger and I step up in size to #3's. Geese get BB's. Talking steel shot,...
Ouch.
Have you tried the Light Target loads offered by many ammo manufacturers? These 1145fps/1.125oz loads are quite soft shooting, probably as soft as...
Depending on the degree of "bloop", the ATA allows the shooter to re-shoot that target.
If that's what you have, they'll break most targets. I'd move up to 1 1/8oz of #8's for 20 yard targets, though.
Thanks, Roger. I think a 3 dram load w/ 1 1/8oz payload would be a 1200fps target load. Sound about right?
Light handicap? What were the drams equivalent/MV on those? The STS Light Target I prefer are 2 3/4 dr, which is their 1145 fps load. Would a...
Are those the same as the recent Peters Premier Blue Paper shells? (P/N PPT12L8) I have several of boxes of them....for nostalgic purposes.
...and is, by far, my favorite target load...and has been for over twenty years.
....as far as performance goes.
Hard to top the current Remington STS ammo.
I must admit: that is an autoloading shotgun that relegates the Auto-5 to second place on my Least Attractive Shotguns list.
But of course. One can describe one's self as white trash.
Well, the implication is pretty clear.
How do you change that? Move closer to a population center? Face it, because of your location you'll never be a high-volume club....for the very...
Then the answer is simple: invite more people. I know you are inviting/have invited everyone on this forum. Invite MORE!!!
That sounds familiar. They might have been called Autumn Gold or Harvest Gold?
Those looked very interesting.....until I learned that they are photochromic. I don't want my glasses getting dark on me; I need all the light that's...
Regardless, let's hope ATS.com lives a long and healthy life. And it will if we all heed the Golden Rule.
Interesting that Americantrapshooter.com was created as a response to a website’s degradation into a name-calling, insult-flinging closed group of...
This thread is not about reliability. Look at the title: it's about attractiveness. The Auto-5 was never known for its beauty, and never will be....
There are many attractive autoloaders out there. In face, most autoloaders are nice-looking, with wood quality about the only distinguishing feature....
The K-E pads I had were plenty hard when new, and still haven't gotten harder. I can grind the pad to fit a but plate. PM me.
Limbsaver AirTech. Same price as K-E, same easy fit as K-E. The AirTech won't wear like iron, which the K-E does, but it attenuates much better...
As an old motocrosser and street bike rider, I can tell you that you cannot legally obtain a registration on a MX machine. But, I see your point...
I keep my right elbow horizontal to maintain the pocket in my shoulder. I let my left elbow drop to where it's most comfortable. I see some (young,...
Pretty picky gun, I'd say.
Yeah, brisk sales on caps, shell boxes, and blinders, or brisk sales on Kolars and Perazzis?
Wouldn't a Light Improved Modified actually be...for all intents and purposes... a Modified? I mean, 5 (mod) + 2 (IM) - 2(LM) still = 5 (mod)?? If...
There's one difference, right there.
Separate names with a comma.
