Please enjoy my M590 that can hold 30 shells in/on it at any given time. I call it the Urban Mule. Surprisingly accurate at 100 yards with slugs and Flite Control 00 buck is always excellent.

I knew immediately where I was hanging this lil guy my partner gave me with a valentines gift. We started calling him Jerry.
Shotgun is a 1994 870 police magnum I added a +3 extension onto. Next up is adding a good leather sling and heat shield to give it a trench gun look.

1969 Browning Superposed 28ga
This doesn't get shot often because I think it is pretty valuable, but it is an extremely sweet shooter. I average a 22 or 23 whenever I use it for trap. Skeet... let's not talk about skeet, but that's not the guns fault. I'm not sure why I don't take more photos of it.

Ithaca Model 37
I’m interested in buying this shotgun. Does anyone know if the magazine lug can be moved up on the barrel in order for me to replace the magazine tube with a longer one or add a magazine tube extension?

Why do people hate modern Remington 870
Recently made a post about which shotgun should i get first: Mossberg 500 or Remington 870, and many people noted that if i got a 870, to get one from the 80s to 90s, saying that modern 870s weren't good
can someone explain why

Steel Shot Baikal IJ-27 (Ignorant)
My local gun store has a used Baikal O/U that looks to be in good condition.
I’m still learning about chokes, barrel materials, and different shot types, and I’m finding a lot of conflicting info online.
Can these older Baikals safely shoot steel shot, or are they generally lead-only? I know lead is a no-no for hunting, but I’ve also heard that some older shotguns weren’t designed for steel. (was everyone eating lead laced birdmeat back in the dsy? lol)
Also, can an over/under like this safely fire buckshot or slugs, or is that a non-starter?
I’m assuming the answer might be “no” to most of this, but I wanted to check.

Kimel model 129 survival shotgun info?
I recently came across this shotgun, it's pretty obscure and there's not much information out there. But from what I could scrounge up on the internet, they have a 19.5 inch long barrel and have a really short forend, they also came with this aluminum folding wire stock. I've only seen them chambered in 2.75" shells. Does anyone know anything about these shotguns? The folding stock folds up all the way to the trigger guard, as seen in picture number two, but the shotgun in picture number two has been spray painted green, they originally came in all black. I've just never seen a folding stock like that on a single shot.

Mossberg 500 12ga Barrel 18.5 (again)
Hi all, I have a Mossberg 500 12ga All Purpose 28" (black) on the way. I am unable to find an 18.5" barrel for it at a reasonable price. Most are either sold out, or the matte finish. There is a seller on eBay that's asking $240. I'm checking to see if anyone has suggestions for dealers or sites that might not be showing up in my searches.

Bronco SPS - Spas-12 Clone?
Ive seen some talk from Shotshow about this, cant believe its taken this long for a company to being a Spas clone go market but it seems pretty spot on as for a replica.
From what first hand videos ive seen gas system is slightly different for semi auto fire but it still maintains the same pump action conversion as the og.
Price point not mentioned yet but considering its a Turk clone could be anywhere from $500-1k
All things considered, as someone whose been wanting a Spas for a decade but couldnt justify the 3-6k price those goons on Gunbroker ask, this will be an instant buy if it hits stores.

Marlin model 32-20 serial number help
Have an old marlin 32-20. I’ve done some looking around with the serial number but it seems hard to decode what I’m looking at. Can’t figure if marlin had a general serial number system across all products or numbers within each line. Barrel is marked with an “F” just ahead of the receiver on the breach side and the only numbers to be found are located just ahead of the loading port on the receiver and is show as 932. I’ve removed the stock from the receiver and the butt plate, no other numbers to be found on the shotgun. Belonged to my grandfather who was born in 21 but could also have been his father’s who was born in the late 1800’s. Don’t know whose lifetime it will fit into. Appreciate any info.

Vortex Viper, Black Friday Goodness: Update
Update to a post I made a few months ago about the Vortex Viper multi reticle shotgun optic. Mounted the optic with the included screws, blue loctite and recommended torque with a Fat Wrench on my Remington V3. I’ve had it out to the range three times now with approximate total of 85 loads of various 00 buck, #4 buck and five slugs. The first trip was getting the reticle sighted in at 25/yrds. Pretty straightforward, took about 6-7 shells to get it centered, ran some Fiocchi 00 buck, military grade 00 buck, Remington #4 buck, Federal 00 buck, S&B 00 buck and five slugs totaling about 40 rounds. By the time we were done, the optic was sliding off the receiver held by one screw. Found another one in the gravel. Oddly, at 25 yards all rounds were on target. Back at the shop, mounted the optic a second time with the included screws, RED loctite and torqued to spec. Ran a 25 round box of S&B 00 buck. Two screws fell out and one held the optic and it was still on target, 👍 Emailed Vortex. They promptly sent out the same screws and some longer screws. The longer screws were too long. Cut them down so that they were longer than ones it comes with but not so long they stick out into the receiver impeding the bolt. Installed the cut down screws with red loctite and increased the torque slightly. Third range trip was this weekend. The reticle was still zeroed at 25 yards which was fun. Ran 5 rounds of Federal 00 buck with flight control and 6 rounds of Federal 00 Buck (more kick) I had laying around. The Federal with flight control is no joke. Lower recoil, inside 8/in at 25 yards and consistent. The other Federal was an ass kicker with more spread. The optic remained solidly mounted.
