And... freshly out of jail!
I succumbed to the Turner's ad a couple weeks ago, offering a 20-ga autoloader for about $250. Info on it is sparse, but mostly positive. Looks like they hit a rough patch of quality about a year ago, but everything else is coming up positive. I'm not likely to get to try it out until the desert cools off this fall, but for the price, I really couldn't say no. (Well, I could, but I didn't want to.) It also came with 4 chokes. I read that they're a standard pattern, but I can't remember the pattern right now. I'll look them up and write it down before I put all the paperwork away.
Edited to add: Uh, forgot to say: it's a TR Imports SE17. It's a Turkish import.
Re: Shotguns picture thread.
27I’d try that for the price. At that cheap, I’d be happy to fix this and that to make it right.

28You will love it, bajajoaquin. Great price!

Bought yesterday. $300 used. I put the red dot on it.
Yet she persisted.

33Seems like it. I'll know when I have a chance to shoot it. I've heard the 870s are very durable. I should have gotten some dummy shells for it to practice cycling it.
What's the best way to attach a flashlight? Also, what's the best flashlight for it? Not looking to spend a gazzillion $ for the $300 gun.
Yet she persisted.

34Just put new furniture on my 870. Ditched the plastic

36Here's mine. It's an ATI Nomad Single shot 12 gage. It's a good shotgun for the price. It gets jammed sometimes. Does anyone know how I could solve that problem?
Re: Shotguns picture thread.
37Can you be more specific? How does it jam?

38The ammunition always fires okay but afterwards it wont open. It's jammed shut so I can't take out the empty shell.
Re: Shotguns picture thread.
39You might try just opening and closing it a lot with a spent shell in it. It might be as easy as removing the extra friction of a new gun that makes it hard to open. I read that a lot of break-actions are really stiff, sometimes needing to be broken over the knee when new.
If it's more than that, I got nuthin.

I like those. I looked at them a while back when I got my NEF Youth model. They fold all the way open, almost in half, right? Neat little shotguns.

Re: Shotguns picture thread.
40Thanks for the advice. I usually don't hit it over my knee but I'll bang it against the counter at the shooting range. That opens it.bajajoaquin wrote: Fri Feb 14, 2020 4:32 pm

Yeah, they fold in half. I've put it in my backpack before. It's pretty handy. You can get the one I have for only 88 dollars. The price is the only reason why I bought it. I wanted a cheap 12 gage.
Re: Shotguns picture thread.
41Those seem like cool bugout guns. I looked around and couldn't find anyone with the same problem, so make sure you spend time like Baja says. It probably just needs a break-in period.
If it is still a problem, contact the vendor.

Re: Shotguns picture thread.
43Or contact the vendor now and still work the action a bunch. If they say it needs a break-in then nothing lost.

Re: Shotguns picture thread.
45Estate sale purchases over the past several months.
1. 20ga Stevens 311A with 28 inch barrels
2. 12ga Baikal Izh-27. Also with 28 in barrels
3. 12ga Rem 1100 with Cutts comp. 25 in barrel.
The barrels/actions all seem in pretty good order other than needing a good degunking. I’ve already stripped the old varnish off of the Stevens. The stock on the Baikal is cracked and chipped up near the receiver. But the gun FEELS really good to hold. Not nearly as heavy as I feared. Love the patina on all three. I originally thought I might stamp the 1100 and cut it down and make a SBS. But I like the ribbed barrel with the Cutts on it so much I think I’ll just look for a 14 inch factory barrel if I end up going that route.

46Nice looking shotguns! Can the cracked stock on the Baikal be easily repaired?

47I’m ordering some Satellite City Hot Stuff to give it a try. There are still synthetic stocks available. But would really like to keep the wood.
Re: Shotguns picture thread.
48An 1100lt 20 gauge I picked up years ago for cheap. The end of the barrel was rusty and pitted, perfect candidate for an 18" chop. Some day, I'll strip the finish and make it purdy.

50That high gloss finish is pretty. I just removed the remnants of that from mine. Really like the look of that sg.featureless wrote:An 1100lt 20 gauge I picked up years ago for cheap.
