Do I need picture ID to purchase a shotgun?

May 11th, 2011 by eranio

I just turned 18 today (February 28th) and I am going to the gun shop to buy my first shotgun. I have my firearms safety course graduation certificate thats got my address, name, and DOB on it. Do I need picture ID or am I good to go?
I live in Connecticut, and either Cabela’s or Hoffman Guns.
So my firearms safety graduate certificate isn’t enough then. Thank you all for your answers.

Can I unscrewed the front sight bead on my 870 shotgun?

December 19th, 2010 by eranio

I have a remington 870 20 gauge magnum with 26" barrel. I want to replace the front sight with a screw-in fiber optic sight like they sell for about at bass pro or cabela’s. Can the stock metal front sight bead be unscrewed or is it just part of the gun?

Anyone have a realistic idea of what firearms or accessories that could be banned?

April 16th, 2010 by eranio

I heard from a sales associate at Cabela’s that pump shotguns and semi auto 22′s could be on that list. Anyone have any clue and have something to back it up?

Mossberg Pump Action Shotgun?

March 13th, 2010 by eranio

Does anyone out there own a pump action Maverick shotgun made by Mossberg? I bought one along with 3 choke tubes at a very good price. The gun is a 12 gauge with a black, synthetic forearm and stock. The man I bought it from told me it shoots a little to the left, (4-5 inches), which it does. It has a ventilated rib, with 2 beads on the rib. The first bead is alright. The bead on the end of the barrel is defineatly not in the center of the rib. It’s offset to the left a little. I went to Wal Mart and saw that they had 1 just like mine. I looked at it and the bead on the end of the barrel was about a quarter of an inch long and made out of white, irredescent plastic. I’m thinking someone broke the original bead, and installed this little metal tip of the end of my gun. I’ve owned shotguns with irredescent sites before. Can anyone else confirm that they have this type of Mossberg and that the bead on the end of the barrel is made out of irredescent plastic? Thx alot.
Yeah, mine has the small brass pin also. At the end of the barrel, it has a pin just like the brass one, but it’s black. Thx for all the links about Truglo and HIVIZ. I chatted with someone at Cabela’s, and there going to start sending me the catalog again. Thx everybody that answered.

What is the best over-under shotgun?

January 4th, 2010 by eranio

I have currently been using my step-fathers Ruger Red Label 26" barrely 12 gauge, but I’m wondering what other people prefer. I am going to Cabela’s tommorrow to check some guns out. I would like to get my own, and right now I think I will be getting another Ruger but will take awhile before I can afford it into my budget. If you have any other suggestions of guns to check out, that would be great!
