  1. OK, hoping maybe someone has done this and can give an opinion. Would an adjustable shotgun stock with a pistol grip have less perceived recoil than just having the shoulder stock only? I’m not looking for tacticool just figure having both would be better as hand, arm and shoulder would be absorbing the recoil not just the shoulder. Attached is a pic of what I’m thinking of installing. Thanks in advance

  2.  Based off many suggestions i ended up getting a few extra factory magazines and some alligator tri-mag adapters. im pretty satisfied with that setup and would recommend that route if you cant find more info on the 15rd mags.

     

    Thanks, I was wondering if they worked


  3. What's the deal with the recalled 583 Higgins. Are they safe to shoot. I have the 583.17

    Yes they are safe to shoot. Their is a screw in the bolt that you remove to take the bolt out of the gun. If the screw is too loose or missing the bolt will come out when you when you when you move the bolt handle up and back to eject spent shell. Some idiot hit himself in the face with the bolt, sued and won. For years you could sent the bolt back to Sears. They would keep it and send you something like $65. True story


  4. Arms & Ammo was for me just about the most perfect Gun shop I’d ever done business with. Was at a loss who to deal with when Paul moved on. I have since found a new place to do transactions with. So I just want to give a shout out to P&K Firearms & Ammo in Manahawkin. Full service establishment with pleasant efficient staff. If you liked Arms & Ammo you might like this place. 


  5. M38's are more collectable but finding a nice one is hard to do. Most are counter bored and and not very pretty. They also kick more than any other Mosin. Nice M44's are relatively easy to come by. Plus they look cooler, have a bayonet the added weight of which reduces recoil. Just my 2 cents


  6. That is pretty awesome....and they seem like they could be a fun project for next to nothing...

     

    The bottom one is magazine tube fed, right?  If I get a bolt shotgun, I'd prefer that...I never liked the idea of magazine-fed bolt shotguns, so I always discounted them...but a tube-fed bolt makes me much more interested...

     

    Where do you find these?  I've got to imagine gunbroker, with shipping and FFL fees, would be well over $100 overall...

    The top one is tube feed 2 rounds + one in chamber. Bottom one also tube 4 + 1 rounds. The tube feeds are better. Only one came from Gun Broker $75 before fees, one from a guy at the range and 3 from local dealers.


  7. Heyday of bolt action shotguns is long gone. Unpopular, uncollectable, and forgotten. You can find them everywhere and if you pay more than $100 for one you paid too much. So why not have some fun. Except for one that needed new extractors all that was necessary was to disassemble clean and safety check. I cut down the barrels to 18 ½” take 2” of the stocks, add a Limb Saver butt pad and epoxy on a Hi-Viz sight. All work perfectly and fun to shoot. Three of them don’t even have serial numbers. Top to bottom…J.C. Higgins 583.1100 12ga, Marlin model 50 20ga, Mossberg 395KB 12ga, Mossberg 185KB 20ga and the infamous J.C. Higgins 583.16 recall special in 12ga.
