shotgun

Hello people. I went to a gun show yesterday and came back with three broken guns. 1. An M39 carcano that I have just finished fixing. 2. A Hopkins and Allen 12 ga falling block that needs a lot of work. I’ll post that one at a later date. Likely on this thread. 3. An lc Smith side by side 12...

Hello all, I am new to this forum as I have recently acquired an antique side by side double barrel shotgun. It’s in worn condition, needs some adjustments and tightened up (also a right barrel firing pin). I would like to know more about it, as I can’t find much on it, and honestly don’t know...

I’m a 16 year old that has just started hunting and shooting this year. I was raised in a very anti gun house hold. I’ve been working towards buying my own gun for almost a year just trying to gain the trust of my parents to allow me to buy one. I have took a hunter safety class, shooting...

Just wondering if I could get which model of shotgun this is and if it is worth it to get it back in working shape, my late father said it did still shoot when taped together but it looks like it missing some parts for the auto ejection and the for-end stock is broken

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a Black Aces Pro Series X Pump Action Shotgun (12 gauge) and I absolutely love it. However, I was in the woods and the forward pin "walked out" and I could not find it. I have reached out to black aces for parts, but it is kind of a pain as their website does...

So I just acquired a JTS M12AK 12 GA shotgun, the (plug?) in the gas tube has one of the walls snapped clean off, replacement parts don’t exist for this gun and I want to know if it’s safe to use and or how to repair it, or wether I bought a big paperweight. Thanks

I am a newbie (first fired it today). I have a question about storing the gun and keeping it (nearly) ready for an emergency - home defense. (1) I have been told that I should not store it with the trigger cocked, so I bought a snap cap. (2) If I put a snapcap in through the breach and load...

My 1st game went great. Got a 25 straight. Then they switched over to the white clays and it was too soon. This old guy couldn't see them at all with the light sky background. One of our teammates is 77 years old and he was shooting in the blind. He got an 11 on that round. I was able to get 18...

Hello. I recently purchased a beat-up but functioning shotgun for $20. It's a 16 gauge break action with the name "Volunteer Gun Co." on the side of the frame.

My Dad has had this old shotgun for about 60 years. It is a muzzle loader. We used to shoot it when I was a kid (I'm 67 now). He hasn't shot it in years, but he does keep it in good shape. There are no marks on it but the initials PB on the underside of the barrel, underneath the hand stock...

Looking to buy a shotgun to take my son to some turkey shoots. Looking for something stock. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey everyone! I have no idea what my shotgun is worth. I bought it new a bunch of years ago and don't remember what I paid for it. I used it for trap shooting, went shooting maybe 4-5 times (200 shells at the most) and the gun has been sitting in the case ever since. Take a look at the photos...

Very confusing topic but it seemed like a fun discussion for me to start off with:) I have an Iver Johnson Arms and Cycle Works single shot 12ga that i am trying to put a date on..I would dare to call it a "Top Snap single gun" It has a serial number of J13948. Using the Goforth formula, having...

Very obscure and not well know wildcat, but I'm convinced it is one of the most versatile cartridges ever created. Let me explain. Essentially you convert a 12 gauge slug gun into a big bore rifle. You do this by using a very slow rifle powder (to keep pressure low) and brass 12 gauge hulls...
