Hey Caine....The 590 does have a 20" bbl. I added the head sheild myself. Mostly everyone will tell you it is impossible to add a heat sheild to a shotgun that has ghost ring sights. It is not difficult, just takes some persistance, and some un-conventional methods....but it works. Its on, with no damage to gun, bbl, or heat sheild. The only 500/590 with a heat sheild and a 18.5' bbl I've seen has a pistol grip on it. HERE is their website ... there are a bunch of models.

Welcome aboard Rich!!!

I must admit,....you got me to doc!!! haha

Yes...not showing you something because you dont have a FID is common practice, thats true. But not showing a handgun because you dont have a PP thats something I've never heard of.

Welcome! Go yankees! :?

Yeah man!!! Thats why .22's are my favorite rifles!!! SO cheap to shoot, you dont get tired, your shoulder is not sore afterwards, your ears dont ring for two weeks after shooting. You cant get much more 'american' than shooting cans with a .22 unless you are eating apple pie while doing it !!! lol Glad you and your son had a blast!

Max....read ME

It does add up quick, but IMO its worth it. You can get MANY more rounds for your $ than you can in NJ. Even after the gas/tolls.

Very nice!!! Awesome gun. Where did you get it? DA is looking for one.

Actually reminds me of a guy at the valley forge show who was asking every person who had a question or wanted to see one of his AR's if they were "seriously considering buying it" before he would answer any questions. How could you do that? Especially with so many AR dealers there. I'd rather pay $500 more from someone else than dealing with someone like that. :roll:

He was probably lazy and didn't want to go through the "hassle" of showing him something if he knew he couldn't buy it right then and there.

Thanks! I've only shot a revolver once, never owned one! I stopped at shore shot on my way to Toms River tonight for my neices graduation and picked up a set or hogue rubber k-frame grips. On the back of the package it says it will fit a model 65. I got home a little while ago and attempted to put them on and no go! Grrrrr, I guess I will be taking a trip to shore shot again tomorrow to exchange them. I might just have to pick up a box of .357 to test it out real quick! So, is it safe to say I scored good with this gun? I paid $100. No nics, no tax.

Thats a good idea! This was over ten years ago, so I guess there wasn't a need back then? Or, no one thought of it.

Since I'll be doing a little work on this, I figgured I would post some before and after pics. Not in the best of shape right now, but for the price I could absolutely not pass it up! "After" pics coming soon.

New Jersey Firearms Guild is up that was isn't it? And Efingers isn't to far. Those are just stores tho...no ranges.

Sounds good , thanks for the replies. Dremel is put away, elbow grease and flitz is on the table ready to go. Grips on order, thanks RS!

Yes, def cant go wrong with either of them. Also, its pretty cool to have something you assembled yourself (for the most part). All the tactical mods on shotguns are very easy to do, and make such a big difference in the gun.

So, I picked up a S&W model 65 today and the grips need to be changed. I would like a "beefy" black set with finger grooves, any suggestions? I have absolutely no experience with revolvers. This is my first. All I really know (and please correct me if I'm wrong) is its a K-Frame but what about round butt / square butt? I am looking for an inexpensive pair. Pachmyer / hogue / uncle mikes. The stainless could be polished up a little bit, any suggestions? Is a dremel with the buffing wheel and some stainless polish a little too agressive? How about a buffing / polishing wheel?

I think I'm going to need one of those! Very nice! Any word on a price?

yeah...tell me about it! I couldda bought a shiney new gun with that money! :evil:

When I worked for a police department many moons ago, they switched companies and had a stack of vests laying around that no one wanted. I helped myself to about 10 of them. When I moved last year, I threw them out not realizing how expensive they were going for on ebay!!! :x :x :x

I caught that you said you also have a house in Toms River, and were looking for places within an hour drive. Sorry for the assistance. :roll:

Food on the table? Money in the bank? Bills paid??? C'mon man...get your priorities right, guns come first!
