The young lady I am taking hunting this fall is showing some initiative!

WDFW has a once-in-a-lifetime "mentor license" where you can get a hunting license and tags for one season, as long as you have an experienced mentor with you at all times, and my plan was for her to get one of these licenses.

Instead, she went online and signed herself up for and started her Hunter Education course so she will be able to buy her own licenses and tags.

150 gr. .270 Noslers are HARD to find.

if you reload, i have some Sierra 150 grain Spitzer SP BT's if you need them... close to 100...

i dont own a .270 anything..

Well...unfortunately the Remington Wingmaster 870 .410 TSS Turkey gun I bought has a bad shell catch, and it's not reparable.

The "new" Remington Arms is not honoring warranties, or doing any work, but the dealer I bought the gun from is going to buy it back from me.

Still am unable to find the Mossberg 500 .410 TSS Pump that wanted originally...even a couple of spots that said they had one in stock, didn't once I called them and asked.

So...just ordered the Mossberg International SA-410 Turkey gun instead. Not as much of a fan of an autoloader as I am a pump action, but since this will be primarily used by my young ladyfriend, it may be easier for her to use.

shell catch?

you mean latch?

there should be 2 (left and right), and they are easily repairable if you can find the latches... they are held in place by one of the trigger group pins...

right, and left...

Yes, those are the ones, but the smith can't get new ones, and I don't want to pay to have old ones installed in a new gun...and I am pretty turned off by having a brand new gun that the manufacturer won't warranty.

who told you they werent doing warranty repairs?

or is it just because of the switching of ownership?

either way, you likely wouldnt get it back in time for hunting regardless.. my friend sent his Benelli 828U Sport in for a repair on his ejectors, after only having it for 6 ish months, and it took over 4 months to get it back... Remington will be the same, or worse...

i bet if you looked around, you could find new latches, there is a left NOS from Brownells up on ebay as well, if its only 1 side you need to replace... i understand about fixing a new gun, but, well, sh!t happens, and if you want that gun specifically, you may need to "bite the shot" and just do it...

there is one of them up on GB, but it will cost you 1200 dollars...

this one is 799, but it is listed as a youth, but it also says it has a 14 inch LOP, which is kinda long for a "youth" gun i would think...

another at 1k...

Those are both about $300 to $400 overpriced.

Note above...I already bought a replacement gun.

P.S. Fall turkey season opens in 32 days.

Browning BPS .410 or any gage next time.
Good Luck

what kind of looney tune would pay $1000 for an 870? the "collector mania" around mass produced remington stuff since they went belly up is baffling to me.

those $400 pawn shop beater 700 BDLs flat disappeared, or they're asking $1200 for them. i just have to laugh.

Possibly a few folks with money and a gun found to purchase, “ use “ the term “collector “ to make their overpriced purchase seem reasonable when pressed by the money keepers of the family.
