  1. My Wife has been bugging me for a shotgun for a while now. I got her a Remington 870 Express 18inch for Christmas. She wants to be able to dress it up, I figured that was probably the best bet, looks like there are lots of aftermarket parts.

    It occurs to me that I don't know a damn thing about shotguns. She wants to be able to shoot 000 buck, and slugs out of it, but I don't know what kind of choke the 870 express has, and which chokes could handle that type of ammunition.

    Here is the kicker. She likes this crazy ass Winchester "OMGWTFJUSTHAPPENED?!?!" zombie/bear killer ammo that has both slugs AND 000 buck in it. http://www.winchester.com/Products/shotshell-ammunition/supreme-elite/pdx112/Pages/S12PDX1.aspx

    Any guidance on chokes would be much appreciated.

    Thanks guys!

  2. I read an article a few months back about two 19 year old kids becoming millionaires by selling surplus ammo, and weapons to the government. They would buy up lots of AKs and ammo left over from when Russia invaded Afghanistan. They'd buy it for pennies on the dollar and sell it to our government "as new" so they could give it to the ANA troops.

    They never mentioned counterfeit weapons or parts, but they talked about some really shady stuff they were selling our troops. I'll see if I can dig it up.

  3. Picked it up on Tuesday morning. Single player is alright. After I finished the campaign I regretted buying the game. I then played the multiplayer and was blown away. I stayed up until 6am playing. I haven't had that much fun playing a video game in a long time. I really enjoy the bigger maps, and vehicles.

  4. I've got a P229, P220, and P226, love them to death. I have just never had a problem limp wristing the gun, until I went over to the left hand, and shot 200 rounds. I guess my hands started getting tired, and my grip got weak. It just didn't occur to me since I shot normally with the right hand. Really appreciate the help guys.

  5. I took my Wife's new, never been fired, P226 to the range the other day. I put a couple hundred rounds through the gun, but I found that approximatively every 200 rounds (give or take) the ejector was not pulling out the spent casing.

    The gun fired normally, the slide went forward, and then backward normally, but the ejector didn't catch the casing, and left it in the barrel. The next round would begin to load, and the new, unpsent round would get jammed on the feed ramp right under the spent casing, causing a failure.

    I was shooting Federal Champion, 9mm FMJ 115 gr. The extractor was clean, and didn't looked damaged, or misshapen in anyway.

    Is it possible for the extractor to bend the casing in such a way so it doesn't catch when it goes to eject it, or do I have a bad extractor? I figured if I had a bad extractor I would have more FTE, but what the hell do I know.

    Any help, or comments would be appreciated. Thanks guys!
