When you say #4 loads are you talking about #4 Buck or #4 shot (rabbit load)?

P95Carry · July 31st, 2006, 01:05 AM

#4 shot Doc - what I always called that back in old UK. I used it for rabbit work yes - most effective.

Here is a reminder chart - my # 4 is of course top row.

You were allowed to own a shotgun in the UK? Would you elaborate a little about firearm ownership or lack there of in the UK, please?

P95Carry · August 1st, 2006, 05:17 PM

Doc - yes in UK I always had shotguns and still could now if still there.

I lost my 24 handgun collection in 1997 but kept my longarms and shotties. I only actually imported four guns when I came over in 2000 - two shotties, a .577 ML Musketoon and, my venerable Mauser Oberndorfe .22 rifle. Sold others.

As of now as I understand it - shotties and hunting rifles are OK (no semi's) - that presumes you can provide ''good reason''

All my old club buddies who also lost their handguns continued fun shooting using levers like Win 94 carbines - and so still could use handgun ammo.

That is about how I remember it being right now. Great huh!

I paid $249 for mine and it's parkerized with an extension so it takes 6 in the mag and 1 in the pipe, but I got it from Dick's Sporting goods back in February

$299 out the door for mine...came with extension and black synthetic stocks. Rem 870 HD express all black...all business..stoked with OO buck..and 1oz. slugs if needed.

Ok as this is on the list for my next gun purchase i looked around. Indeed there has been 2 price increases from the manufacture and is now $399 for the express. the 2 dealers i checked didn't have any in stock and could only order for $399. Went across the road to dicks sporting goods ad low and behold they have 4 on clearance for $279. Mine is now on layaway :P. Also anyone have an opinion for the Tamer Pistol Grip from hogue?

I already had an 870 Express and found a good deal on an 18" barrel on Ebay and gun parts corp had the two round remington extensions on sale for 414.95. I have seen those extensions go for over $100.

I bought an extended Wilson spring and follower and now I have a really nice defensive shotgun for just a little extra money. I have always wanted an 18" extended mag shotgun.

I went to the range with some 00 buck and some slugs and did a bunch of shooting. It shot really well and I was amazed at how accurate the slug was at 40 yards with just a bead sight.

Here is the link to the remington Extension if youare interested.

I added a 4 round sidesaddle, so I don't interfere with the pump, Feels much nicer now with extra ammo on hand. Oh yeah, brass down for reloads.
