What's the recoil like on a shotgun with no recoil pad?

May 3rd, 2011 by eranio

I recently did an adjustment to my Benelli… The stock was ridiculously long and there is no adjustment, so I just took the recoil pad off. Still haven’t taken it out yet…

Anyone fire a shotty without any pad? How bad is it?

how does a speed feed work on a tactical shotgun?

April 25th, 2011 by eranio

I have been looking into getting a 12 gauge shotgun for home defense. I want to say this was on a mossberg 500 tactcal shotgun i saw. They had it on a 6 shot capacity and a 9 shot capacity. Almost certain it was called a speed feed. In the picture it shows that you can store i beleive it was 4 extra shotgun shells in the handle frame of the shutgun just in front of i guess it would be the stock. Sorry dont know much about shotguns so probably just making these terms up. If anyone understands what i am talking about and can please explain to me how the speed feed works. Is it just a storage area to hold the extra shells? Or is that where it feeds the shells up into the shotgun? I am confused because it says there are 6 and 9 shot capacity. Is that including the extra shells in the speed feed or is it 6 and 9 shot capacity for the stock plus what you have in the speed feed?
use the link.

April 21st, 2011 by eranio

Are the open rifle sights on a benelli supernova tactical replaceable?

April 7th, 2011 by eranio

On the benelli supernova tactical version, are the open rifle sights replaceable? Can they be replaced with ghost ring sights? I know you can just buy one with them but I cant find that one in stock anywhere. If so point me to a good brand.
Would I be able to install sights like these?

How does the choke on a Mossberg 500A work?

April 6th, 2011 by eranio

I recently got a Mossberg 500A 12guage shotgun, and plan on using it for home/self defense. I bought a stock already, and plan on buying a ghost ring sight. When I took it to the range, I was unhappy with the spread I was getting in my pellets. What is the best choke for this purpose for a shotgun, what type of ammunition do you suggest, and how do you go about changing the choke on this style of shotgun?
I want to add that I don’t see any threads on the inside of my barrel, like a nut. Will the choke tubes still screw in without one, or do I need to but a whole new barrel? If so, do you hav suggestions on which kind and where to buy them?

Is it legal to saw off the stock of a shotgun?

April 5th, 2011 by eranio

I know that it’s illegal to saw off the barrel, but is it also illegal to saw off the stock at the end of it, so i can make the shotgun a pistol grip?

can stock acc. from the Remington 870 fit on the new 887?

March 19th, 2011 by eranio

i was looking into buying the Remington 870 shotgun when i seen they have a new model out. the Remington 887, almost totally weather resistant. perfect for hunting. i was just wondering if some Remington 870 stock (the butt of the shotgun) accessories would fit on the 887.

seeing as how the 887 is so new there aren’t many accessories out yet. and the 870 being the most used shotgun in the world i was wondering if anyone knew if i could just buy a 870 stock and bolt it on?

What is the point of the action lock on the Mossberg 590 shotgun?

February 24th, 2011 by eranio

Is it just a safety feature? Is there a way to disable it?

I keep my gun loaded with the chamber empty and the safety on, and with a Blackhawk stock it’s difficult to reach the action lock, so was thinking it would be better to disable or remove it somehow…

Benelli Supernova recoil vs old 870 Wingmaster?

February 4th, 2011 by eranio

I’ve been shooting an old 1960s Remington 870 Wingmaster that my dad passed down to me. The recoil is manageable but stout even with the lighter loads (since it’s an older Wingmaster it only takes 2.75" shells). I’m looking to purchase a new pump and try to preserve the old antique Wingmaster. I’m 99% sure I’m going to wind up buying the Benelli Supernova. My question is, will the recoil feel "softer" with the Benelli considering it’s newer and has the Comfortech stock and recoil pad? The Wingmaster is so old it doesn’t even have any recoil pad. When using the same loads in each gun can I expect the Benelli to have more manageable recoil? I want to do a lot of clay shooting on my property with it and don’t want my shoulder to be all beat up. By the way I’m 6 feet tall and weigh around 170 pounds.
Thanks everyone for your replies, I really appreciate it. I’m a bit confused as I’m getting conflicting reports. Some are saying recoil is lighter on the Benelli and others saying it’s brutal. I would love to get more opinions on thee supernova as I’m looking to make a purchase soon. The only other gun I’ve considered is the Browning BPS. I will mainly be shooting clays with 2.75" shells with 1oz to 1-1/8oz shot. To the person suggesting an auto, I currently own a 1100 20 gauge from the 90s, I just prefer the pump for reliability as my 1100 has problems ejecting certain shells.
