(1-2 current. 3 is how it was received)

I recently picked up a poor condition Remington 870 police magnum 18.5” from the FFL I work for. It was in pieces but it was all there, original coating flaking off and spots of surface rust and neglect.

Stripped all grease and factory paint off, grabbed a can of RapCo flat black (911 paint code) and painted away.

It has a Remington factory +2 tube extension, however I have a Wilson combat coming for it. I plan to sell the Remington extension eventually.

I had the Magpul SGA and forend at home already waiting for the day I’d acquire an 870, so it finally happened.

The second I can get my hands on a grey chocolate chip camo Pig Sling.. that’s the dream rig right there.

Just got my parts back from getting cut and engraved and I think the pump 12 came out dope! Big shootout to VangComp and won't hesitate to do business with them again in the future.

I have handled a shotgun maybe 4 times in my life and I’m used to the manual of arms for an AR while being a lefty.

You can see from my inconsistent hand placement and grip on the front end that I’m struggling to find placement. Any tips or suggestions?

Found her at the local pawn shop. They wanted too much to start, but I haggled down to a fair price. Bores are shiny and perfect. No dents, no dings, no cracks, just some wear on the bluing for the barrels. She'll look real nice next to my Field Grade in the safe and out in the field for pheasant season.

Picked up a 590a1 I have to say I am very please and glad I bought it over the 590s. Anyhow now that I have it I want magpul furniture for it! Do I go black or orange?! 👀

Thanks to everyone that provided helpful comments on the previous post, I will link that in the comments below.

I bought a used browning invector-plus bps 12ga shotgun, after shooting it I sat down to clean it. I’ve watched several videos, including browning’s own video (https://youtu.be/53RqMXgEclQ?si=FMqk7otsr3F3ujCM) and every video I’ve watched shows the bolt coming right out after removing the trigger assembly. I cannot get mine to come out. I have tried several positions along the rail, pulled and poked and can’t get it to come out. Any help would be grateful.

I currently have removed the feeding tines so the only piece in the receiver is the bolt and bolt slide. Still it does not come out.

Thanks in advance!

I installed the Sure Cycle Magazine Extension Tube (made for Benelli shotguns, including the m2). After installing it I noticed that there was a slight gap between the magazine nut and the gun, as if the nut wasn’t screwing down all the way, and not locking the pieces in place. In the first video you can see there is a small grey button that is sticking up and the gap of space between the nut and gun I am talking about. As a result of this gap space the barrel and receiver can slide away from one another. Another Benelli owner was dealing with a similar issue (I linked this post in the comments replies below), the comments on that thread said to install the mag extension with the bolt pulled back and to tighten the magazine nut down more to prevent shifting. I tried to reinstall the mag tube extension this time with the bolt back, as instructed by the other linked thread’s comments, and the same thing occurred. Initially I tried to just tighten the magazine nut further, using a wrench to generate more force. However, I quickly stopped as this was not working and just stripping the paint off. Furthermore, the magazine tube extension’s instructions specifically stated to NOT use a wrench on the magazine nut for this exact purpose/reason, which leads me to think that hand screwing it on should be enough…In the second portion of the video, I installed a barrel clamp - Toni System Barrel Clamp (designed for Benelli M2 12 ga) and tightened it to prevent this shifting from occurring. Now that the barrel and receiver are connected and there is no gap there (but still a gap between mag nut and tube), is this safe? Or is there something else I need to do before firing?
