So out of curiosity since I've seen the 20 and 12 gauge side by side to each other and the receivers look about the same. So would a 12 GA mossberg 500 barrel fit and function on a 20 gauge ..read more

Anyone have experience with setting medallions in grips? How about in brass? I'm looking at setting a medallion in a set of brass grips and planned to tape the grips then mark an outline with a pencil then use a dremel to cut it on a one to one with the tracing then using epoxy to set it.
Am I setting myself up for failure?
Here's a picture of the medallion
And the grips (Brass that is cerakoted ..read more

I bought a used Black Aces quad rail off eBay, the pictures showed most of the important hardware was included. Turns out I was only missing 2 small 6-32 tapered head screws. BA offers replacement hardware kits, I checked before ordering, but I'm not paying $35 just to replace 2 screws. All I could find locally was zinc plated and stainless, which I opted for because of a slightly larger head. I researched methods of turning SS black, products are available. I bead blasted them Monday before...

My issue is that these will not chamber safely after trying to load a number of them. I am not new to reloading and have tried every possible...

I have a MIroku Browning SA 22 that I want to squirrel hunt with. It is plenty accurate from the bench when using bags but offhand I have trouble. The trigger is so hard and so long it causes trouble staying on target until it breaks. I've searched on line and asked on a few different forums and the general concensus is "it's a plinker so don't expect a decent trigger".
