    Winchester 23 Issues

    Thanks, I know Bill very well. Been there a bunch of times with other guns over the past few years. He's a fantastic gunsmith, and a good Vietnam combat brother. He just finished working on a Browning BSS 20 ga SxS with double firing and ejection problems that 2 other gunsmiths couldn't fix...

    Winchester 23 Issues

    I purchased a Winchester 23 XTR Pigeon grade, 20 gauge, 26 inch barrels, choked I.C. & Mod. It has a round knob pistol grip stock and beavertail forend. My 1st model 23 I've ever held, so not familiar with the gun. Here's the issues. With snap caps in the chambers, when I dry fire the gun...

  3. Browning BSS 20 Gauge Side By Side Doubles When Shooting Light Target Loads

    Here's an update on my gun. I contacted both Art's Gun Shop and Midwest Gun Works. They both told me they no longer work on the BSS models. I took it to Bill Schwartz and he has discovered that if you remove the trigger guard the gun functions properly. Replace the trigger guard and the gun...

  4. Browning BSS 20 Gauge Side By Side Doubles When Shooting Light Target Loads

    I purchased a used Browning BSS 20 gauge side by side shotgun last August. Using it for doves on opening weekend in September it immediately fired both barrels with 1 trigger pull. It has the barrel selector and I had it set for the right barrel. I contacted the seller and he agreed to pick...

  5. Will a Rem 1100 410 and a 1100LW 410 take the same barrel?

    He was less than the ones on Gunbroker or Corsons. There just isn't anything cheap today with the Remington name on it. Well, with one exception. The "post bankruptcy" Remington is releasing their newly manufactured 870 Express 12 gauge pump. Saw one the other day and it looks good. And the...

  6. Will a Rem 1100 410 and a 1100LW 410 take the same barrel?

    Found a 2.5 inch, V.R. plastic shells only skeet barrel for sale at Broome's Barrel Exchange in Fitzgerald, GA. I called them and asked them to measure from the bottom of the barrel to the top of the vent rib just behind the mid bead. Was about an inch on my existing V.R., 3 inch plastic...

  7. Will a Rem 1100 410 and a 1100LW 410 take the same barrel?

    I have a Remington field grade 1100 in 410. I am looking for a spare barrel. I have a 25 inch vent rib fixed modified choked barrel. It is marked for 3 inch plastic shells only. I've tried shooting 2.5 inch shells in it, but they don't produce enough gas through the small, single gas port in...

    Remington 1100LT 20 Mid Bead Size

    Thanks for the link. That was becoming my next move. BUT....I located a local, full-time gunsmith, took the barrel to him. He used a 3x56 tap in the existing hole, and screwed in the 3x56 bead I bought off the internet earlier last week. He charged me $10. All done and nice and happy that...

    Remington 1100LT 20 Mid Bead Size

    I bought a used Remington 1100LT 20 with a 28 inch vent rib, Remchoke barrel. The mid bead is missing. O.K., I'll be the first to admit I don't look at the beads at all. Always look at the target or the lead, so not having a mid bead is really no problem. But I'm an idealist when it comes to...

    Remington 11-87 Magazine Tube Coating Question

    I recently purchased a Remington 11-87 Sporting Clays NP 12 gauge shotgun. When I disassembled it for cleaning I first discovered a darker coating of some kind is flaking off the mag tube. I removed the piston, seal, and O-ring and polished the mag tube slightly with 2,000 grit Emory cloth. I...

    Remington 1100, 410 barrel depression and bulge

    The inside of the bore is perfectly smooth and doesn't show any evidence of the dimple or bulge. So don't know exactly what a tool running down the bore would do. Also, I doubt a bore tool would help with the bulge in the outside of the barrel. All the imperfections or defects are only on the...

    Remington 1100, 410 barrel depression and bulge

    I think just about any 1100LW 410 barrel would fit my receiver. Maybe not the 1100 Special Field. It has a shorter magazine tube than the 1100LW. I'm not familiar with the 1100 Sporting 410. Just seen the photos on the internet. The only difference I can read in the specs is the field model...

    Remington 1100, 410 barrel depression and bulge

    I tried the best with the bore photo, but the bore is so clean, without any dimples, or bulges, it's hard to see anything in the photo. And there is no dimple, ring, or bulge inside the barrel. I also took close ups of the barrel and rib in the opening between the rib posts where the dimple...

    Remington 1100, 410 barrel depression and bulge

    I really have no idea how these "defects?" got there. And I have no idea how Remington makes their barrels. But I did pull a theory out of thin air. Maybe..... when the raw barrel was being made, something went wrong. Don't know if they are extruded, or milled from round stock like a rifle...

    Remington 1100, 410 barrel depression and bulge

    I bought a used Remington 1100, 410 yesterday. It's a really nice gun with the enhanced game scene roll engraving on the receiver. Nice wood, too. When cleaning it I discovered something strange with the barrel. About halfway between where the magazine lug ring is welded on and the muzzle...

    Modifying 22 bolt action rifles

    I have two different 22 bolt action rifles that weren't working just like I wanted. One is a Remington 541-T Sporter in a custom stock. It shot really well, but had a heavier trigger pull than I liked. I removed the barreled action then the trigger housing. Got the trigger spring out and...
