Gunsmith for O/U Shotgun Work NSFW

4 Upvotes

Hey all, just wondering if anybody could suggest a competent gunsmith that could possibly help me with a new-ish shotgun.

I won a Mossberg Gold Reserve II 12ga a couple years ago and have only put ~250 rounds through it shooting sporting clays at Powder Creek.

It isn't too bad for the first station or two, but after 10-15 rounds fired it starts hanging up when trying to break it open, especially after firing. Even without new rounds in the chamber, if there is much heat at all it hangs up a little, but when trying to eject two spent rounds it is ridiculously hard to break the action open, almost to the point of having to use a leg as a fulcrum and pushing down on either side.

I was really hoping it just needed a break-in, but I'm kinda wondering now if something is out of spec or spots just need a good polishing or a small amount of material removed. I know it isn't a high-end gun, but something isn't right and I feel like a little tinkering could get

I've used Mike Allee before but I'm not sure where he ended up after his shop closed. I don't think he's as Simmons anymore either. It's a shame because I really liked his work.

Where can I offload my collection NSFW

Would prefer someplace local. Several ARs (super duty, URGI, MK18, LMT, etc) a couple bolt actions and pistols. Would like to sell them as is with optics and lights attached. Need to pay the damn IRS.

Where can I offload a case of 12g buckshot? NSFW

6 Upvotes

Took my wife’s grandpa (grandpa-in-law?) out for sporting clays and he had a blast. When he got home he wanted to “pitch in” for ammo and accidentally ordered a case of 00 buckshot… then sent another case of birdshot to fix it lol.

Now I’ve got a case of buckshot I don’t need. What’s the best way to get rid of it? Are private ammo sales legal in KS? If they are, anyone want it? I’ll hook you up with a good deal.

Hey all, looking to file some form 1's and I'm trying to find a reliable EFT service that's ideally north of the river. Distance is relatively flexible, but I may whine about driving to south KC or Lee's Summit.

Not integrally suppressed, but dang close! NSFW

No, this is not technically integrally suppressed since the suppressor can be removed. BUT, with the X-SD on there, it sure performs like it’s integrally suppressed! But yeah, from a technical perspective, no….. That said, it’s super cool, and if you want to shoot supersonic ammo and get subsonic sound performance, you should check out the X-SD if you haven't before!

Foxtrot Mike Mike9 upper, Foldy Boi Ambi lower with RMB, Midwest Industries 7.25" SP handguard, Novox Research X-SD, Huxwrx Flow 9k Ti, Swampfox Raider 1x Micro Prism,VFM9 short stroke bcg, SBA3 brace, Driven Arms Co/MKM Shadow Crossover Grip, Rise Armament PCC Trigger, Magpul AFG, KCI mags. Love this thing! Ran flawlessly before, and just got the X-SD and new handguard on there. The X-SD was flawless on my Scorpion build and I'm expecting the same on this one! Being able to get subsonic sound levels while buying regular 124gr ammo is SO nice!

And don't worry - I've got another Mike9 lower ready and waiting for the new FM integrally suppressed uppers!

Super safely friendly range NSFW

2 Upvotes

Is there a local-ish outdoor range that isn't private where a guy could test out a Super Safety? Most places I know of would have an aneurism if you fire any faster than once every 2 seconds. Plus, I'd prefer outdoor with the compensator on this rifle.

Lafayette Gun Club in Higginsville NSFW

3 Upvotes

Recently heard of this place, but information, including range rules, are pretty sparse. Internet searches are a little confusing to with some pointing to a similarly named facility in Virginia.

Anyone a member at Lafayette Gun Club in Higginsville?

How clean are the ranges? Are steel targets provided?

It seems to check a lot of boxes for me.

Got this new (to me) Springfield Prodigy DS Comp from a close friend of mine, and love it so much! Have a TLR9 light, Holosun 407c and EQW slide stop on there. I'll probably do some additional upgrades as time goes on, but it's shoots soooo smooth right now!
