    A SHOUT-OUT TO SMITH AND WESSON REPAIR SERVICE

    Any mechanical device/product is going to have normal wear and tear. Not to many companies are still supporting a product after 28 years of service. We live in an age of, they don't build them to fix them, if it brakes buy a new one. Kudos to S&W.

    Short Barrel Shotgun

    Salvaged this Ithica from a barn which was left in a corner to rust. Fortunately the internals cleaned up good. Cut the barrel at 18.1", did a rattle can camo job, custom forearm and added the pistol grip buttstock. Thinking a reddot would be a cool addition.

    Are these raised grooves inside barrel compensator normal?

    I don't think they are rifling. What is the diameter? I suspect it's larger than the barrel and it rifling. I would agree it's probably something to do with assembly.

    Tried a "new to me" Bourbon this evening

    Tried a "new to me" Bourbon this evening

    That's the problem, I shouldn't say problem it's just a matter of opinion. Everyone's palette is different so when discussing taste or heat it all subjective. I haven't had the triple oaked but I've had Angles Envy and it good but not that good, A bit over priced & hyped. My brother gave me...
