Is it safe to remove the magazine capacity reducer on a shotgun (specifically Benelli Nova)?

eranio — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 07:12:43 +0000

My apologies for the ignorance, I’m not much of a gun guy and really haven’t been able to find the information on the web. I’m backpacking in an area that has had several problem brown bears and think it’s probably a good idea to carry a shotgun to error on the side of caution. So [...]

How to fix a Remington 870 that fails to extract?

eranio — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 06:29:06 +0000

I have an 870 Express that occasionally (1%-2%) fails to extract a fired shell. The slide doesn’t get stuck, instead the extractor never seems to grab the rim of the case. I’ll rack the slide back and see the shell stuck in the chamber still. I generally dig it out with a car key, but [...]

Why do over-powder wads take up so much space in shotgun shells?

eranio — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 04:03:24 +0000

Can you fire a 12ga Marine Flare out of a 12ga shotgun?

eranio — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 06:27:25 +0000

The Orion shells fit with minor trimming of the shell’s plastic edge and extract the same as other 12ga loads… In a pinch, for survival reasons or temporary illumination, could you fire the flare without damaging your shotgun? Please do not answer unless you have experience in this matter. Results with, "Guns are bad." = [...]
