    I have heard autoloaders can be finicky with the ammo brands. Are you happy with the reliability of your autoloader shotgun?

    I want a beater 12 ga. Before anyone says to stay away from the Turkish made clones, I agree. I already own a genuine M4. I love it, and trust it with my life. Because of this however, I want a "stunt double" to take some abuse. I load a number of non typical shotgun loads, like Dixie Tri-ball...

    So, I am considering getting back into handloading/reloading, and I would like to include shotshell reloading this time around. I prefer to buy "very good" equipment, say about a 7-8 on a quality scale of 1 to 10. I don't need the ultimate high-end professional stuff. I also prefer new...

    So after a lot of research, evaluation, and field work, I believe I've come up with a list of categories that define what's required in a survival weapon, as well as what type of weapon scores best based on those requirements. For our purposes, an event that qualifies would be deemed a 'survival...

    As a rule, when I'm hunting, I always unload my rifle at the end of the day, even if camping out. I usually keep a loaded small pistol in my pants pocket at all times when camping and I keep one at home in my computer bag which I keep near my bed at night. I keep my long guns unloaded at home...

    I have an older 870 Express with a 18.5" barrel that's a shooter, as much as a working shotgun can be, I suppose. With its rifle sights and rifled slugs I'm happy with its precision out to 25-30 yds, but I mostly put 7-1/2 or 00 through it. The only time I've ever had problems with it was when I...

    https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/5087/text Please read this and let everyone know about it. I pray this doesn't pass if so then we're all outlaws. Also who is going to be brave enough to knock on my door and ask for my guns? Rolling up my sleeves and getting ready...

    I am going to kick this off with some resources available in my state, it would be great if others did as well so we can have a resource available to all users. If others participate in this I will make this a sticky at the top of the General, Pistol, and Rifle, and Military Weapons forums...

    The Benelli M4 uses a special operating system (for Benelli), the ARGO (Auto Regulating Gas Operated), specifically because the Benelli M1 did not function well with an optic and light and NV/laser mounted to it, due to the ID (Inertia Drive(en)) system requiring a certain amount and speed of...

    So I recently bought a Mossberg HS12 shotgun and I wanted to share my experience with it so far and the reason I went this direction. I was using an H&R single shot for hunting small game. The model I have is a 162 which has a front blade sight and a rear fold down sight similar to the setup...

    I have been considering the Pro's/Cons of adding non-lethal loads to my arsenal. I have been entertaining the idea of 12 gauge bean bag or rubber pellet loads for situations that, well, require less pew pew pew. An example: an armed (melee) and drunk/hungry neighbor or family member who cannot...

    Has anyone else had the chance to buy a Hatfield 12 gauge single shot shotgun from wallymart for 99.95? I just got one the other day. Seem very solid built reminds me of the old New England firearms single. Smooth bore no choke and no necked down barrel. Folds for storage too. Great bug out...

    Hey guys, I've been kicking around a few ideas regarding my latest purchase and wanted to know what you guys think. I recently picked up a Stevens 311 model H. SxS 12 gauge. I've always wanted a SxS, not sure why, maybe just for the nostalgia as by grandfather always hunted with a 16 gauge SxS I...

    I have an NEF single shot 20 gauge and I want to get a simple and cheap kit for reloading shells for it, any recommendations? Any help is much appreciated. I'm also fine with making my own kit but I don't know what to buy, so if you know please tell. Thanks.

    I am looking at a TRI-STAR over/under shotgun but have no experience with them. It is the Hunter EX or the Hunter EX LT model. 12 guage, 28"bbl, chambered for 3" shells. It appears to be a great gun but I hesitate as I have no experience with this brand, so any input would be welcomed

    Due to budget lately I'm sadly restricted to $300 for a long gun and can't decide between a 12 guage shotgun (pump) or a mosin nagant.What are some pros and cons of each? Haven't seen a mosin worth buying locally but I saw a used Remington 870 at gander mountain yesterday for $199 and I'm very...

    Pros and cons of shotguns vs a 22 rifle for a secondary long arm in a bug out shtf scenario. Would the extra weight of a shotgun and ammo be justifiable as it's "more suitable" for a defensive scenario?
