Trump on board with raising age to own
Just read that DJT is backing off raising age to 21. The white house proposal, published today, addressing gun violence and school safety does not have any age restrictions. Trump dangled it to shut up some people then said "PSYCH!"

Power Outage Map
Back in the 70's our infrastructure was set up to survive a nuclear war. Utilities were held to a much higher standard too. Now it's all about how many more pennies they can screw us out of while providing the minimal acceptable quality of service.

Beretta 1301 Choke
As a general rule, 00 buck will not pattern well out of full or extra full chokes. You may happen to have a particular shotgun, with a particular choke, and use a shell with a particular powder/shot cup/buffer combo that works, and it's great when that happens, but as a general rule..... 00 buckshot is not immune to the laws of physics. When you compress a cluster of malleable metallic spheres, they will deform. Also, you have to be careful about what shotgun with a full or extra full choke you shoot 00 through. Thin walled barrels can bulge or rupture because the large shot does not compress the same as #8 for instance.. The additional back pressure is noticeable in the increased recoil. If 00 kicks like a mule out of a shotgun with a CYL or IC choke, it will kick like a Clydesdale out of a full choke. EDIT: It appears that Modified and Improved Modified are the chokes most used in 3 Gun.

Beretta 1301 Choke
Choke depends on many things, but shot size and distance to target are the two main things. For this, you will have to do some research as it pertains to your application. A good choke tube will help with patterning, meaning not only how much the shot spreads at a given distance, but how evenly too. Patterns can also be improved with shells like Federal Flight Control that uses a wad cup designed specifically for buck shot. Flight Control will hold the pattern tighter by holding the shot in the shot cup longer. This may or may not be useful in 3 Gun. Generally speaking, IC is the best choke for slugs. If you are not using a rifled barrel, you will want to use rifled slugs. You can also get an extended choke tube with rifling for non-rifled slugs. You can shoot slugs or buckshot out of any choke, it will compress as it passes through the choke. However, mashing 00 buck in a full choke is not advisable because the shot will peen itself as it passes through the choke and become deformed. It will not pattern reliably because the shot will become out of round. Lastly, there are also extended choke tubes. This type generally patterns better than a flush tube. It's what all the cool kids (and trophy winners) are using these days.

Remington 1100 barrel
So, it seems the 1100 really does require two different barrels to work with both 2 3/4" and 3". The 2 3/4 bbl has two gas ports. That's pretty interesting. Never heard of that before. Anyway.... Call CMO. They have a decent stock of barrels. Their price may not be fantastic though.

Remington 1100 barrel
Call Cheyenne Mt. Outfitters. Uh, any reason you want specifically a 2 3/4" bbl? You know, you can shoot 2 3/4 in a 3" magnum barrel.

Years ago I did graphic design. I could take a shot at it but I'd need to know some parameters. Like, will they be silk screened or pressed (basically iron on)? How much they cost greatly depends on the number of colors used and if there will be graphics on the front and back, perhaps even on the sleeves.. Do we want to co-opt existing imagery like the Gadsen flag, a popular meemish text or go with a completely unique design? Is there existing njgf artwork to work off of?

Pretty slick rifle ya got there. When do we get a range report?- Cabela's has Aguila minishells in stock
I have to correct myself. Aguila mini buck is not 00. It is seven pellets of #4 buck and four pellets of #1 buck. Still an effective home defense shell. I have seen what a 7gr .177 pellet traveling at 800fps can do at 30 feet. The mini shell load traveling at 1,200fps can only be better.- Cabela's has Aguila minishells in stock

The only gun I've owned for any period of time is my 870. It sat idle for almost two decades but I took it out to give it a wipe down and lightly lube moving parts with clp every six months or so. It still looks (and functions) as good as new.- Firearm transportation in NJ
The one mistake your friend made was volunteering information. I do not recommend lying to LE if asked directly. I was told by two cops I know that volunteering information only complicates a simple traffic stop. Your NJ resident friend from Ohio was well within his right to transport a long gun to and from a range without having a FID, no legal traps there.- Firearm transportation in NJ
