Re: 870 Jr. Mods

Maybe someone with a 3d printer can whip up a nice spacer to fit if that one doesn't work out?

Re: My Weatherby Element Turkey

Put mine up for consignment today. It sure could use a factory mid bead and a drilled and tapped receiver. Wouldnt cycle the 7/8 oz load either but had no trouble cycling a 1 1/4 oz load. The butt is concaved a bit I guess to wrap the shoulder. And LOP felt a bit long to me. Not a big fan of that an...

Re: 870 patterns

10's are for looks. They will fill out any pattern. I dont get why they even load em in the 12 or 20. I can understand if your loading a very light low recoil load for a youth and want the #'s up. I never shot tss in a 2.5oz load. #8's or 7's in a 2oz load is more than enough to get the job done wit...

You can definitely have your 26” cut.
X2…. My M2 went from 24” to 18.5” and I love it.
I considered getting my spare M2 barrel cut to 20 or 21". How do they pattern when shortened and who has done the work?

Never mind. I jumped the gun before reading through. LOL.

Re: 20 vs 28

I have a couple that I am looking at now. The Weatherby element turkey 22" really caught my eye for the price. I was wanting something with a shorter barrel since my m2 is 26" and everywhere I have read says they can't be shortened. I am handloading my own stuff now so shells wouldn't be ...

Sorry to hear. I looked at the Tristar's and almost bought one. Glad I didnt now. Been hearing some bad also. Things have gotten worse since the country went down the crapper over the covid deal. Its hard to get good quality anymore.

Lets hear your thoughts. Seems to me the compact is throwing a better pattern than the tactical but the tactical is a nice camo with the pistol grip.
