      Remington Model 11

      I have a Remington model 11 in 20 gauge. This gun does not always extract when cycled and sometimes the action will not close when locked open by pushing the button on the side. I bought parts from the INDY gun show years ago and replaced everything I thought could be the issue. Any guidance...

      Favorite guns for home defense

      This has been covered at length. However, I always like to hear opinions and reasons why people prefer one firearm over another for home defense. I am a traditionalist. I like a 12 gauge with good ol fashioned bird shot.
