A while back, an alien vehicle landed in my backyard. Scared the bajeebies out of me. Neighbor‘s dog was raising a huge ruckus as always. So this dude comes out that was driving that ship. He had two faces, but we hit it off from the get-go. Carrying on like a couple of old pals. He indicated he wanted to do some trading. I said I’m in. This dude seemed really interested in the neighbors noisy dog. Then he pulls out a bunch of these bullet looking things. Basically said “what can I get for these” I made him an offer and put a smile on both of his faces. He climbed back into his ship and split. I headed back to the house carrying those bullet things and noticed how quiet it was. Said I can’t throw these at anything and do any real damage. But I said maybe I can launch them with something. So I built a 9” launcher out of some parts I had laying around. Those bullet looking things are 00 buck, nine pellet.
You can find the build for that 9” launcher here. https://www.ar15.com/forums/armory/RAS-12-SBS/57-557863/

I guess this is the universe’s way of making up to me for missing that 1897 the other day!

This came in the original box (albeit in rather rough shape) with the original paperwork for under a grand. The gentleman I bought it from says it was never shot. The bore and chamber certainly back up his claims. I can’t wait to take this thing to the range and run some shells through it. I’m very curious to compare it to my a300.

If there’s anyone lurking here that has some need to know information about these before I hit the range, I’m all ears!

proper stock.

Just showing it off. If I recall it was made in the last model year in 1983. It's museum nice. I don't love the adjustable choke but it adds character.

Only issue was the pachmyer grip sleeve kept sliding forward so I’m gonna replace it with hockey tape.

I wish it had blued metal. I guess there is a Wingmaster edition out there somewhere if I was feeling froggy.

Hey everyone,
I recently found a new (to me) company called HB Industries, which makes something I’ve been looking for for a while now: an MLOK Handguard that isn’t twice the width of the firearm itself. I’ve tried the Mesa Truckee Forend and I really didn’t like how unwieldy it is. For a long while I rigged up a pressure pad on the stock handguard using modified screws and washers and it was okay…

For $60 this seems like a pretty solid option. I will preface this with saying you still need shorter screws, otherwise they will interfere with the piston system. I don’t know if having the piston system exposed will be an issue either, but I suppose that’s what panels are for.

They also make a handguard for the 940 which I would assume is pretty similar to the 930. I have not shot it yet, but it seems pretty well built all things considered.

Been searching for factory remington +2 mag extensions for the last three hours and cant find any. If anyone knows where i could order some from i would greatly appreciate the advice, thank you for reading my post. I apologize if this type of post is not allowed.

It was a bit of a mystery gun as it has no larger brand, it's simply called a "Ranger 101.3". with the 101.2 and 101.1 presumably being a tube magazine and box magazine version of this gun, though this one is just a single shot. It's another one of those bolt action shotguns made between the 30s and 60s. Picked it up for a very nice price and the gun does indeed work after so many decades!

Sorry I didn't fetch more pictures of it, I think when I take it out to shoot again I'll snap some more close up shots. But figured I would share it here since it's quite a strange shotgun by today's standards

I have an uncle who passed away a couple of years ago, whose house I am likely going to be moving into. Doing a walkthrough/assessment of the property and his possessions today, this immediately caught my eye. Appears to be an old Browning Auto 5 Light Twelve with the receiver and bolt completely seized/jammed back with rust. I apologize for not taking closer photos, but, estate/probate/transfer issues aside, can this potentially be restored to operating condition in memory of my beloved uncle? Thanks in advance.

Hey all, hoping for guidance here. Have someone with issues on their 1100 12 Gauge Magnum. It fails to eject and the bolt stays locked to the rear.

The gas piston and Oring were in rough shape, piston set was very corroded. Replaced that with the updated set. (See pic)

Still having issues. The ammo in the photo worked before the failure.

I’ve torn it down about 10 times now, cleaned everything. I’m not sure if they’ve torn it down and attempted anything. The barrel has one gas port which appears to be clear.

I do have a part in question, known as the feed latch in image. Seems a bit tweaked to me. Not sure if this would cause my symptoms. Not familiar with 1100s other than reading a ton of mixed issues and diagnosis on various forums. Hoping I can get better feedback with the steps I’ve taken so far.

Any thoughts?
