Okay, I'll give you that. Remlin has turned a corner though, Chatter on another forum indicates they are making better Marlins now. Still not legendary JM marlin Q, but very reliable and fit/finish is better.

No, you have made it abundantly clear that 870's are the most reliable.

His shop is open today, 1:00 to 4:00. If you get there earlier, you can watch a little ATA style trap. Actually, you can shoot a couple rounds if you want, today is open practice. You have to get on the roster by noon though.

I was looking for where the gas O ring goes on my 870 that has never malfunctioned on me, ever, and I just cant find where it goes. Can you help me with that.

E H Salomon Shooter Supply in Farmingdale. He has the good stuff. Though I have not been in the store, I understand Dickheads in WLB has them.

We accept you for who you are and respect your life choices.

This is going to be a handgun heavy event. Not my cup o' soup. But you kids have fun.

The one and only problem I have read about remington shottys is the ejector spring sometimes needs to be replaced. They are easy and inexpensive to replace. If you get a new 30"bbl threaded for remchoke, you can swap out choke tubes to suit the type of shooting you will be doing for that day.

Remchoke is just the name Remington gave it's threaded chokes. For trap, you want full or extra full or even turkey will work. For skeet you want Cyl or IC. I dunno what you need for 3gun but I imagine at the distances they shoot, Mod would work. I guess for sporting clays, just use the tightest choke you can hit the most birds with. See, that's one of the really nice things about an O/U,two barrels, two chokes.

I vote the Remmy 1100, the older Remingtons are the best. You can immediately use the barrels for 3gun and trap. If you want to expand your options, then get a 28" or 30" replacement barrel with remchoke. Plus...it has wood furniture, 'nuff said.

After a couple hours of repeatedly hitting refresh, I eventually entered a catatonic state. My wife mistook my condition as having fallen asleep in my chair after a very long hard day at work and put a blanket on me. When I came to this morning, the site was back up, I'm okay now.

You can find a used Browning Citori for around $900 to $1200, and a new Mossberger or Remy with a 30"bbl will run you about $350. If you buy an older Mossy 500, you can use the same invector choke tubes on both guns. They are compatible. Also, grab a 18 or 20 inch barrel for 3gun and HD. So, you figure $1,500 for guns and throw another couple hundred for accessories and you are in business for around $1.700. If you want to go semi auto instead of pump, add another $500.

Well, ya can, and I did for decades. My trusty 870 Express (With 30"bbl) did everything I ever asked of it. It was a fantastic duck/goose gun and I had tons of fun shooting trap and skeet, which are two very different sports requiring different chokes.. It's also integrated into my HD plan with an 18"bbl. Very versatile but not as good as a specialized shotty. I'm sure a Mossberg's 500 would be just as versatile. Furniture sets are plentiful and cheap for the 870 so you will have no trouble at all adjusting the lop to suit your needs. The ability to change barrels and chokes adds a huge amount of flexibility that allows you to create several configurations that will suit your specific need at the moment. You can get the same flexibility with an autoloader, but it will be a bit more expensive. If you want something to do all, then I suggest an 870. However, if you think you will be clay shooting almost exclusively, then you need to have a look at some O/U guns. Or, buy an 870 for 3G and an O/U for clays.

If you have time tomorrow (between 1:00 and 4:00), go to E H Salomon's Shooter Supply (aka Howell Trap Club) and talk to Gene.

TWD lost me after Lucille.

This has honeypot written all over it.

wtf ever happened to opsec? Loose lips (and bragging) sink ships (and get well prepared homeowners looted). Didn't ya'll ever watch The Twilight Zone episode The Shelter?

You are forgiven.

That is not entirely true. One could file a civil suit against their accuser. I dunno much about south Jersey but many town down there are not as anti gun as say, Jersey City or Camden. Wherever you move, check the NJ political map and stick with red districts. They will be more 2A friendly than the shitholes the Dems control.

Don't register ANY firearms. Don't register rifles, shotguns or handguns. It's is not a requirement, it's not a law. What about that place in PA where you can store firearms?

Looks like you got the closeout deal too. Remember how some were getting a bonus discount and the price was only $5/pair. Man, I really wish I bought more, they were the ultimate work pants for those 100 degree days.

I wear both brands and listen to classic rock and metal, so there goes your theory.

I'll make this simple. Carhartt if you can afford them, Dickies if you cant.

It was your post that made me go look for the video, but I was really hoping I'd find one where they stripped off the paper on the wall and the half inch of sheetrock. It really is the best method. I have such a hard time getting paper tape seams to look right, and this method eliminates that altogether.

This is the method I use, except I cut the sheetrock about an inch larger than the hole and trim a half inch of sheetrock and the backing off, leaving a half inch of paper boarder on the face. I also trim about a half inch border on the wall or ceiling, and peel just the paper off. If you do it right, you don't need to tape the edges and there is no "hump".
