NOTE: that I said.....

"WHY NOT"

THAT doesn't mean........that I EXCLUDE everything else as a valid use. Jeez. Such a divisive attitude.

Aloha, Mark

But "why not" was precluded by "why?".
That is what I was commenting on.
A bit divisive on your part as well.

The one out in Port Orchard. I was out there today, and they didn't have any of the 100 buck ones left. They did have a couple Savage bolt guns in a couple calibers, but nothing I needed.

If only the ATF had allowed Taurus to bring the 28 ga revolver to market, I'd be interested.

I keep seeing these adapters pop up in this thread. I didn't know they where a thing. If I can find a set online for reasonably cheap, I may just have to pick one up. You know... "for survival".

I kind of both hate this and love it. I remember when the normal Judge came out and a bunch of people lost their bubble gum because "why would you need a hand held shotgun?"

I mean, not like the LaMat was a thing back in the civil war or anything.

Andy,

All modern shotguns are steel shot compatible.
Producing it so it accepts a removeable choke has nothing to do with that.

What is the date for "modern"...?
1940 , 1950 , 1960....
Ya gotta remember that most of my guns that I use are from 1900 or earlier....

I just got a "Nitro Special" made by Belknap Hardware...its actually a Hopkins and Allen model #3612...
From around 1915 - 1930....compared to my main grouse gun ( a antique flintlock fowler ) its pretty modern...
But if I compare it to my 870 Wingmaster from 1962....it ain't so modern...
And if one compares my 870 , to a new one....which is more "modern"... for many folks my 870 from 1962 is old and not modern.

[RugerFan]

Was it a rollback or is that the regular price?

Man, I am so confused now...lol

 

[ma96782]

Me thinks that.....what he is trying to point out is that......

There is a difference between modern firearms steel and production and the old steel (made in the past with sometimes questionable production methods). Then.....think about the fact that steel shot wasn't even a thing back in the old days.

Example of the steel story: The M1903 rifle.....high serial numbers vs low serial numbers production.

Aloha, Mark

[eldbillbo]

It looks like the lead singer of Judas Priest....

That's exactly what I thought when I saw it.

Yes, the local Wally has ONE box of 28 ga. Must not be popular, or else the layer of dust is keeping people from spotting it, or the $28 a box price! No guns, no place for guns (gutted), no RF, no CF ammo.

For barrel converters try Ace up in Alaska (ad in Backwoods Home). Yes, I have dealt with him for years, yes I have always been happy with item/service, no I get no money from him, have not met him, have no interest in his business other than buying from him.

 

[DeanMk]

YES....I've also seen adapters made for 20 ga. conversions. And, in other handgun calibers.

Yeah! Chaszel baby!

 

[DeanMk]

Just checked, the other day. The $99 Hatfield is now $106!

 

[Gunwild]

So the other day I was at Walmart and I found a Hatfield Singel Shot in 20 ga. I haven't taken it out yet, but I wanted to know if any one else picked one up and if so, what are your thoughts?

I mean, I get that it's not a hand carved piece of itallian art and it's not a speed racer mossberg... But for exploding the occasional 2 liter or smoking some pot like Hickok 45, it seems like it will be fun.

So I did the only responsible thing I could. I bought a custom leather stock sleeve (which cost half as much as the entire gun).

It's ok to be jealous.

Yes you can find good deals at Walmart if you look. I got a Ruger 10/22 50th anniversary eddition in stainless for $179 back in 2016!!! They lost the magazine for the rifle so it was discounted. But the counter guys weren't to savvy about guns and did not realise it was a steal.

Their computer system was down so I had to wait till it was fixed took a week. Man I called every day haha the salesman put it on hold for me. When I picked it up he said man I had people constantly asking if they could buy it put her in a birch wood stock I found at a gun show and really accents the stainless!

Here's a photo of it in that Birch stock! Missing trigger assembly have an KIDD assembly orderd and swapped the 50th anniversary bolt for a stock one. But you get the idea fire sights on these things are awesome btw

 

[arakboss]

I have read that many of the hatfield stocks develope cracks. Hopefully that is a myth or they got it worked out.
