Wharf Rat Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Makes sense. Cheers for the info. I'd love to have a pop at a moving target with slugs. They are very slow compared to a bullet, and they can take an age to get back on target. It would make for an interesting time for sure! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I should think it would be very good for developing follow-through. Or highlighting where one lacked it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Opossum Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Well my forend nut is well and truly stuck on my 870, and I'd like to give it a different forend... Buying an action tube from the US is a no-no as Brownells can't get them and ITAR means nobody else will ship to the UK. Does anyone know where I can find one, or failing that a cheap (yeah right :D) or knackered S2 870? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scrumbag Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 These chaps can be remarkably resourceful: https://www.gunspares.co.uk/products/24671/870-Remington-Shotgun-Spares-by-Make-Shotgun-Spares-Firearm-Spares/ Also, might be worth trying Ebay. Norinco and other Chinese firms make various copies for popular firearms including the 870 so it might not be an OEM part but it might work... Scrummy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Already tried Gunspares though and bought a forend nut just in case I could only find an action tube. Also I've been refreshing Ebay enough it's unhealthy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Downforce Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) Am I allowed in the club with several ? I just sold my Stevens 30 which I started regretting even before I sold it but I have a couple of others. It was a lot of gun for the money and in really nice condition. Oh well its done. My Mossberg 410 is now flavour of the month 🙂 Edited April 10 by Downforce Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Downforce Posted Wednesday at 17:25 Share Posted Wednesday at 17:25 (edited) As I am new I still can't put an ad in "Trading Post" section. I saw through looking through some of the old posts some people have a Winchester 1897. I will post a "wanted" when I can but just to get anyone thinking if they are ready to sell their 1897? Not trying to by-pass the "wanted" ad just want to give a heads up 🙂 D Edited Wednesday at 17:27 by Downforce Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There was 2 1897's on guntrader last year, wish I'd had the cash spare to grab one if not both. The last one I saw at auction was only a couple days ago, sec1 and RFD only though.

If its section 1 because of barrel length thats something that I probably couldnt fix quick but if its just the magazine I would be OK to pay to get it crimped to 2+1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only thing that really puts me off one is how short all the LOP's seem to be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
