On the Remington 1100 shotgun can you move the O ring on the ejector so it will handle light loads?

March 25th, 2011 by eranio

I have a 1100 Magnum that I would like to shoot light loads but it will not eject them, I was told you can move the O ring position on the slide to another location between the Piston or the Piston Seal or either turn the Piston or Piston Seal around, to work with light loads, question, which do you do?

What is the difference between all the shotguns?

December 25th, 2009 by eranio

I’ll be buying a shotgun in a few months and I’m a bit confused by the current market. I’ve used shotguns before at the range, so I’m not clueless but whats the difference in, say, a turkey shotgun and a deer shotgun? Or a field shotgun and a waterfowl one? Or waterfowl and a tactical shotgun? I know that shotguns differ as far the the feel goes, some just feel right when you shoot it, but some don’t. However, whats the difference them that would make one better at shooting a turkey and another that makes it particularly good at taking down Waterfowl? My earlier understanding was that it was the load or shot that made that difference rather than the gun itself. I can understand barrels being better for some, one barrel is thicker or stronger for heavy loads while another could be lighter for light loads, but that doesn’t justify a whole different gun! Aren’t barrels changeable? How could one gun be better for different hunts?

I want to get a tactical shotgun, but I also want to have the option to hunt deer, turkey or waterfowl. Is that possible? Wouldn’t a gun that can defend your home against people also be just as useful taking down deer? Just change the shorter barrel to a longer one, right?
Thanks for the help.

Help with Semi auto shotgun. Browning auto-5?

December 2nd, 2009 by eranio

I’m trying to get my Browning Auto-5 to eject field loads (low base dove shot, 6-7.5 shot), it wont. I switched the block on the inside like it said to for light loads and see no difference. I would like to shoot doves with this gun but it’s pointless to shooting 1 shot at a time. I have 2 shots using my dbl barrel. any suggestions are welcome.
