Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Thanks for the info. By "flush" I meant as you described "rib is flat to view".
  2. I've been shooting shotgun for some time, but have never been taught the correct sight picture. Is the correct, or conventional sight picture, to have the bead flush with the vent rib rib, as in your first picture?
  3. Jason, given the date of your post, you've probably already got your answer. Yes, the rail can be removed. Mine needed some metal taken of the bottom to make it level; it was done by my gunsmith. No problem. I wound up selling mine because I thought the tactical rail reduced flexibility of optics and barrel swapping; can't swap in a cantilever barrel.
  4. +1 on the cantilever set up. I had an FN SLP with the ghost sights; you really need to ensure that the rear sight is tight to on the tactical rail (comes loose will definitely affect accuracy). Not sure if it makes a difference for your purposes, but the cantilever adds flexibility; you can swap in the rifled barrel should you choose without disturbing the sight set up. Not the same if the ghost ring is on the rear reciever. Also, swapping in a cantilever won't fit with the tactial rail installed on the rear reciever.
  5. The winchester manual pretty much covers the bases (had an FN SLP). Used Tetra gun grease on bolt/bolt carrier contact points. For brass ring by gas port, occassionally brushed the brass ring near the gas port to remove carbon (used Ballistol). Top part of pistons need to be brushed (Ballistol) used q-tips to get carbon out of the piston ports (some recommend occassionally soaking the pistons in solvent on occassion, but never tried it myself). Best to keep lube on the exterior of the mag tube, where the interior of the piston makes contact, to a minimum (I usually apply a very small amount of Tetra and the wipe it off). Cleaned it after each range trip. Have run over 500 shells, no problem. Brian Payne makes a good point on the pistons.
  6. Will this problem (tube flex) occur if you use the shim in the comfortech stock to increase the drop at heel?
