Proper lubrication and reassembly are also covered, concluding with a function check and hand de-leading.

This guide, drawing on expert analysis from a critical review of the Remington 870, provides actionable steps for improving the reliability of post-2007 models. It emphasizes polishing the chamber, inspecting and potentially replacing MIM extractors, and upgrading magazine components. The advice is geared towards owners looking to address common issues like sticky extraction and rough actions, transforming a potentially problematic firearm into a dependable tool.

This video demonstrates a quick, $1 repair of a shattered wooden shotgun stock using only super glue. The presenter, an experienced firearms content creator, tests the durability of this unconventional repair method under live fire conditions. The repair held during the test, offering a temporary solution for a severely damaged stock.

This guide details a method for installing bottom metal on an LC Smith shotgun without drilling through the lock panel. It emphasizes careful manipulation, using specific tools like a 440-sized punch and tap, and ensuring screws are used for centering rather than forcing components. The process aims to preserve the firearm's original condition while achieving a secure fit.

This guide details the proper installation and removal of choke tubes for the Ruger Red Label III shotgun, as demonstrated by a Ruger expert. It covers the use of the included choke tube wrench, cleaning and oiling threads, and the importance of not overtightening. The video emphasizes safety and correct choke selection for different ammunition types.

This guide details a DIY technique for creating 'poor man's slugs' by cutting birdshot shotgun shells, a method historically used for defense and hunting during times of scarcity. The process involves carefully cutting the shell casing to create a projectile that functions similarly to a slug. The video demonstrates the technique on a Beretta 1301 tactical shotgun and discusses the importance of cut accuracy for flight stability and potential reliability issues in semi-automatic firearms.

This video demonstrates critical firearm safety failures, including poor muzzle awareness, lack of trigger discipline, and unsafe handling in a residential environment. The individual exhibits difficulty with basic firearm manipulation, culminating in a negligent discharge indoors. It serves as a stark warning against improper firearm handling and the importance of professional training.

This guide details the process of creating a DIY wax slug from standard birdshot, as demonstrated by the 'Collapse N Protect' channel. The modification involves melting wax and pouring it over the shot to create a cohesive projectile. The video highlights the increased effectiveness of this DIY slug compared to traditional birdshot, particularly in its ability to concentrate energy on the target, as evidenced by its success in shattering a cinder block. The creator also humorously notes the potential for using scented wax to alter the range's odor.

This video from Collapse N Protect, featuring an instructor with high authority, experimentally tests whether 12-gauge shotgun shells mounted on a plate carrier will explode when shot. The tests, using birdshot, buckshot, and Dragon's Breath rounds, demonstrate that while shells can be breached and their contents spilled, they do not detonate or explode without primer ignition and the compression force typically provided by a firearm's barrel. The explanation highlights the essential components and conditions required for a shell to fire.
