release agent-- it is god awfull expensive but it always works, never had a problem with it-- it is the spray stuff that brownells sells.


Do the rifled slug barrels with the cantilever scope mount need shimming or pinning? I shot a fellows Winchester 1300 with a Nikon scope on it today with Hornady slugs, the scope was mounted to the receiver the barrel not pinned, and it was shooting about 2 inches at 50 yards.

So the question is were one to buy a cantilever rifled barrel and a good scope would you expect at least 3 inches at 100 with something it liked? I like that 11-87 20 inch slug gun.

I was surprised to dig a hornady out of the dirt backstop and see that it had lost its jacket and gone to pieces.
