That is BS too, although I didn't realize either of those were impermissible. Although I don't agree, I will continue to play the game no matter how they make the rules, but the rationale for many of them is lost on me.

Can’t make up rifle or pistol…

I find it very strange that people are so opposed to shotgun makeups. I just don't get it.

Wild Bunch Action Shooting Participation and Voting Data: 88 Territorial Governors 85 Votes – 96.5% Response Rate Voting Item Should WBAS allow Shotgun Make-ups? RESULTS NO. Leave it as is. A Shotgun Miss is a Miss. – 61 (71.7%) YES. Allow Shotgun makeups in WBAS. - 24 (28.2%) NO CHANGE

I saw on the CAS forum that someone posted the results of the CAS TG vote, does anyone know the results of the WBAS TG vote?

Bear Creek has been running both of these as main match categories for 3 years now, and have strong competition in both. These two are easily the most fun categories, if nothing else just because they are something different and a different kind of fun.

Couple of possibilities; Is the new tube perfectly round? If not you'll have problems Not sure if the Model 12 and a model 97 use the same tube. Someone may have sold you one for a Chinese clone. They look identical but the threads are different so they are not interchangeable.

If it doesn't fit dry, it isn't going to fit greased. Send that garbage back and follow the instructions of the people above, who told you what tools you'll need to repair your existing magazine tube.

I purchased a new magazine tube instead of repairing the old one. It is new production. I am having trouble getting it to fit the threads of the receiver. Do you guys use any kind of grease?

Send it to a Smith that has some experience. Dent removal has a bit of a learning curve and if things don't go as planned, a replacement mag tube is probably hard to come by.

The Brownells tool has about 11" handle and the tool body is about 8", so it will reach at least to middle of almost any tube. It's made for most 12 gauge tubes except Mossberg models. One of the review comments on the Brownell's tool says: Believe Brownells is probably pretty knowledgeable about this one, like they usually are. good luck, GJ

Both of those are for a specific purpose on Remington shotguns and likely wouldn’t work on a tube with a dent 4-6” down the tube.

Yep, Brownells also has a tool that is the same design, if you want one pre-built for your own. Mag tube dent raiser Pretty pricey, though. A guy with a lathe could turn one real quick. And this one is pretty reasonable and claims it protects from over-expanding the mag tube. From Defender Tactical. Defender Tactical dent removal tool good luck, GJ

In that case, you must not know any custom 1911 smiths used by any serious competitive shooter, because I can give you a laundry list of people who do so, and literally everyone who is winning (and probably everyone within the top 10-20) the Open/Limited/Limited Optics/Limited 10 nationals is using a gun with a 2 pound or less trigger from one of those people. In IDPA, the winners in the Carry Optics and ESP divisions are doing the same. Unless your "action" sport is something besides USPSA, IPSC, Steel Challenge, IDPA, and maybe some I'm forgetting, literally everyone who is winning is shooting something you didn't know existed until you made these posts in this thread. And many are using 15 pound mainsprings because they want the absolute lightest trigger, and the only way to get that is with perfect sear geometry, the right sear spring tuning, and the lightest mainspring their primers will tolerate. Maybe it was different 50 years ago or something, but these sports are incredibly competitive, and the winners will do anything to win, including using trigger pulls lighter than the gun that is in their hand, among other minor equipment advantages to have every competitive edge. And there is nothing wrong with that, as if the guns are kept clean, a 2 pound trigger is absolutely reliable in a 19/2011, it just needs to be in the hand of someone responsible enough to keep it that way.

And for future reference, all Model 12s are takedown. Even the Model 12 Featherweights are takedown. They only hold 4 rounds. The Model 12 “solid frame” is called the Model 25.

Both very highly polished and used very gently. The round mandrel is a very snug fit inside the mag tube.

Send it to Boggus or Kingsnake to fix it ST

Yep, just took it apart and found a very small dent and a slight ridge on the inside. looks like a weld repair. Any pictures of those tools? i need something long enough to reach down into that tube to grind out the ridge.

Probably a dented tube. I see it often. I have a mandrel and a body hammer that I use to fix that problem.

I just bought a 1950 Winchester model 12 takedown in 12 gauge for Wild Bunch. 6 of my snap caps fit in the tube, but when I put the 6th one in, I feel the follower get stuck, or at least it gets stuck when I cycle the action quickly. It’s fine when I only put 5 in the tube. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!
