Having worked for Intermedia Outdoors in the past (the magazine company that publishes Guns & Ammo among others), I can definitively say that you shouldn't trust any magazine. They are wholly subs ...

MidwayUSA is an example of a company run right. They are neck and neck with Brownells in terms of doing right by their customers. Shipping is fast, returns (if you need them) are sane, just great peop ...

Looks like a pretty sizeable dent in the right-hand barrel in picture 19. I'd avoid it.

I'm of the opinion that the Auto-5 in general and the Sweet Sixteen in particular is the greatest auto-loading shotgun ever made by the hands of man. They're real workhorses that just never quit witho ...

You people are far too selfless.

Wahoo, I would be honored to inherit your guns when you pass. Very Happy

In all seriousness, if you do not have some one to pass them onto, arranging in your will to h ...

Some of the new A5s have springs on the firing pins, but my Sweet doesn't. I don't know if that's true of all of them though. Some force is required to move the roll pin, but don't go smashing on it. ...

Money's a little tight right now, but if these are still around at the beginning of the new year I'd love to have them.

Raise your precrimp up about 1/2 turn and try again. You may need to go more but it's a good start. Might have to lower your punch after that to get a deep enough crimp.

Thanks for the suggestion. ...

Howdy folks.

I've been trying to resolve a problem that's bedevilin' me to no end. I have a series of previously fired Cheddite hulls. When I originally loaded these, they were brand new unfired hu ...

The conversion process is largely undocumented. While I haven't done this on a MEC 600; I have done it on my MEC Sizemaster.

The conversion kit will come with a new depriming punch, priming punch, ...

There is a dash there, just before the rest of the text on the barrel.

You're right; I didn't see the dash there.

No doubt. Best shotgun ever made by the ha ...

If I hadn't just bought one a couple weeks ago I'd snatch that sucker up in a heart beat. Great lookin' gun. Better finish condition than the one I bought and only about $100 more. Some one is going t ...
