5:59 Springfield ARMORY is not Springfield ARSENAL, youre adding to the confusion by calling them the same name.

These comments are full of everyone sharing info about their experiences with clones or similar side by sides & i love it

I have been looking for one in good shape in 06.Just purchased it today for 350.Wood is unblemished,no scratches on receiver.A 1978 model with 22" barrel.Will strip it soon referring to your video.

...someone gonna shoot the sh*t outta that transponder if it attaches tonthe target that way...just like they regularly shoot the target hangers...a nice concept that needs serious refining...

In the Remington 700 BDL models, what material is the cover of the pistol grip and the tip of the hand grip?

I have one in near perfect condition you didn't mention if the end of the barrel is crowded or inlet like on target versions please advise

Excellent in depth historical video. Great work and educational as well.

I met a guide in Wyoming who had two Ruger Mark II’s. One in 7MM Rem Mag and the other in 270 Win. He shot hand loaded 160 Partitions in the first and hand loaded 130 Partitions in the second. Both rifles shot 3/4” groups and he killed truck loads of game with them. I asked him why he chose the Ruger Mark II and he said because they are durable, shoot well and that’s all a man needs.

My favorite shotguns. I buy every one that I find. Pigtail refers to the first year breech lever, not the hammer. There were 3 or 4 different hammer designs (I’ve only seen/own three different ones). There’s also the v notch just behind the barrel on the receiver that you never hear mentioned, that did not appear on all of the guns.

I've got a 5" steel slide Model 46 marked "AFPG" for the USAF pistol team. Serial # 245xx. Radius cut slide, no cocking indicator.

The Model 41 is a bucket list gun for me.

👌

They were awesome for IHMSA back in the day and some of the models in 7BR got rechambered to 7IHMSA. Today they seem to be very popular among hunters who invariably seem to rebarrel/rechamber/restock them.

Thanks for the wonderful lecture on one of my fav’s. I have the 7 in. Muzzle brake version. I call it my space ray gun. It’s an older model with cocking indicator and solid wood grips, not the laminated wood grips found lately. Mine has a small chip divot in the mag well. I keep these old flawed grips rather than fix up with laminated new ones. A common complaint is ammunition sensitivity for jamming, at least on the S&W board. Not my experience with a clean gun. Another is the tiny, hard to operate safety lever. As a target pistol, mine never goes on safe. I fear these fine old target pieces will be dropped from S&W new production. They are expensive compared to a Ruger. My Ruger Govt model shoots just as well as my 41 in my unskilled hands.

Thank you for the video. Do you have a method of removing the shell latch without damaging it? Thank you

Enjoyed your video, I have an early 70’s 1100 I purchased when I was 18 years old and was wondering if you could tell me where I can source the action spring and magazine tube spring. I am working on acquiring an action bar assembly as mine broke and needs to be replaced. Thanks for any information you may be willing to share.

Fantastic overview of an iconic target pistol. Thanks for the information.

The Marlin model 60 and the Glenfield are the same except the Glenfield is nicer and more expensive. Glenfield is a trade name for Marlin's upscale models. I know this because I have a model 60 and my Dad haf a Glenfield and I shot his gun as much as mine.

U.S. POSTAL INSPECTORS HAD A SPECIAL 3" STAINLSS MODEL. RUGER WILL NO LONGER SERVICE THESE AND HAS NO PARTS AVAILABLE.

Bought a 311 D about 20 years ago along with a SKS still in Cosmo Len for 400.put both in safe never shot the Stevens until this vid.Its probably 90% 26" barrels 12 gadge no marks of any kind for a date code.any idea what the D series is?Kind of like to date it.always thought the receiver was case hardened wow cyanide!

I inherited my father's. He only shot Ball M2 type loads. What I mean is he bought cases of Ball M2 and replaced to bullet with Rem Corelokt of the same weight. He removed the barrel nut and cleaned the barrel and action after shooting. He shot it and hunted it for decades. The action looks great. No chattering. Rails are great. Shoots 3 in a small cloverleaf and the 4th an inch away. It wears a Leupold 3x9. Love it

Bought a 12 ga version late 70s hunted with it about 3yrs hammer broke cocking it one day?

My very first rifle at Christmas for a 7 yr old in '70. That gun definitely taught me how to shoot and hunt as a kid. Still have it, still shoot it after about half a million rnds. Still have the receipt for $43. I just saw a guy selling 3 of them for $330 apiece in the same used condition as mine. I thought he was nuts.

A very well done video, good information and presentation, thanks for doing videos on the old classics!

Was told first couple years the 101 pigeon grade had coin silver breech but was too costly and changed to SS also had rounded grip ?

Broke the action bar assembly on mine a few months back. Problem I ran into was that there are no new OEM parts for the 1100 and 11-87s anymore. Took me a long time to find the part that it needed. Secondly, finding a smith nowadays who knows their way around these venerable old guns is getting harder. Seems like all they know how to do are thread barrels and build ARs. Nice to see that there are still some guys around that know these shotguns.

I do love My 742s still one brand new in.the box. I did change to a 760 carbine 06 What a gun. See you out there get a big one.

I got my 1100 for Christmas 1980 . I was senior in high school. The 1100 has never been fired and is just as mint 44 years later

I've got a Super Blackhawk with a "plum" colored loading gate. I think it gives it a little bit of a patina look.

My first gun, birthday present from my dad, 1967. 😊

Thanks for the video. I just inherited an Rem 700 in 308. I now know it was built in 1976 and is the BDL version. In great shape and its my first 308! Just got it today and I can't wait to shoot it. Oh, one small note. The trigger feels like it's a 5oz. pull. Super light....almost too light. a fly could land on it and set it off.

I bought my own when I was a part time fill on police officer in the 80s. I qualified 3rd or 4th in the small force of around 10. The full timers carried the Smith & Wesson .357s. My father would be right there with me with his Smith & Wesson model 15 in .38 special.

Does anyone make a scope mount or high-capacity mag for these?

I have a Marlin Texan bought new in 1976

I have one my brother gave me. Its chambered in 7×57. The barrel is shot out now a 2 1/2-3" gun with optimized hand loads. I want to get it rebarreled but the stamping, its a 1976manufactor, stamed made in the 200th year of americas liberty. That and it really is polished and blued perfectly. For a production gun comparied to todays guns. Ive shot 1 buck and 1 doe with it up on the family homestead in northern Mich. That gun will be passed on to my son.

Weatherby Mark V I shot 2 deer with my buddies 7mm STW and i bought several rifles and nothing compared until I bought my Mark V 300 Weatherby

I have a 97c with 32" barrel full choke circa 1931. It's a fine piece of equipment. Still shoots very well

I was trying to reassemble a new to me vintage 101. While I can reattach the barrel to the receiver, when I try to re-attach the forend, the ejectors that extend in front of the receiver get in the way of putting it back on. Any advice? I didn't have any problem reassembling when I bought it several hours ago, and found another TH-cam video by someone with the same issue, but he didn't post the solution.

My uncle had one of these back in the late seventies. He bought it used. I rather liked it. It shot pretty well, I thought. I didn't target it on paper. I just plinked with it. But I hit everything I was aiming at. It was rather fun to shoot. I'm guessing he sold it at some point. I'd like to have it now.

Good video , own several, to include 22 mag and the 49R , also own the mod 66 shot guns .

Remington 760 & 7600 pump rifle

My local gun shop has an Astra 357 with a 6” barrell for a good price looks clean I never heard of Astra I am tempted any thoughts

We own a 49R, not sure when manufactured...recently repaired, it still can be a little sporadic in operation...evidently the gun has been ridden hard, my gunsmith said the barrel is very worn...we will get it out to the range, probably once or twice a year, just because we shoot all our guns at least once a year...at worst it runs fine as a single shot, it just jams up sometimes when being levered...the missus tells me it was her brother's gun, shot a lot in the California desert, and we are both happy it works even a little bit...

Very low light condition, could not see the product properly

The sweetest little Gun. I carried my Combat Master for 20 years, I retired it about 10 years ago, For a Para P-12 , More shots and lighter, I am getting old 😂, Even funner, is my wife picked up, and said see my New Carrie, She is very good with it, but of course we've been married for 25 years and of course she has shot it for 25 years and she's very good with it at 120 lb . She has no problem shooting it, It's had more then 3000 rounds down range, By me prosonly she has put at least 1000 round down range with it herself. Still working like a charm. Its a very much love gun. And cared for ❤

Very cool

Remington 760 7600 review please

Neat rifle I like anything Ithaca do you have any experience with the Mossberg palamino lever action 22 that was my first gun at 12 years old in 1972 still have it
