Misc Heat Shield on Benelli R1?

3 Upvotes

I'm figuring this is something I will have to get custom made since I havent seen anyone weird enough to try it. The Benelli R1 barrel is tapped in 4 spots on the barrel, the muzzle and above the chamber, for adding iron sights. So installation should be easy enough.

The benelli R1 has a light weight barrel, which means after only 6-8 consecutive rounds it is already too hot to hold or touch. My main question is how effective it would be at dissipating the heat, would it make the barre cool down faster?

Edit: I'm also wondering if it will negatively affect barrel harmonics

Always loved the idea of 3d printed covers, but the standard tm22 “Pmag” file was giant for a 10rd mag.. So I shrunk it down to a pleasant size, just finishing up some final bits, then I will be printing some final versions in black. Hopefully working on a 15rd version next.. I forgot supports on my first version, hence the slop near where the mag pokes through.

Let me know what you think!!

Seems they’re selling out stock, so I’m just wondering if anyone has any feedback or reviews on them so far. They seem like great bang for the buck! Really don’t want to get killed on another 3k rifle 🤣

Feets / Collection / My build The meme and the dream, JP Sauer and Sohn addition

(I suppose they both look a little meme-y)

Just to provide legal context, yes the top shotgun is legal (has been featured in many of my posts before). But as a reminder, when shortening non-restricted firearms via cutting or sawing:

- The OAL cannot be cut below 26”
- The barrel cannot be cut below 18” (18.5” semi-auto)

That said, these are my two JP Sauer firearms, a cheapo 12GA SxS with ejectors that I cut down, and my newly coveted JP Sauer triple barrel Drilling, with 12GA-12GA-222 REM barrels, featured here about a week ago (which will remain un-vandalized by saw).

Figured I would feature a couple of seldom seen firearms, let alone seldom seen in the same room! And seldom from the same brand too.

Cheers everyone!

What kind of proof do you usually sent? Is attending matches required, or is there another way to show participation? I’ve been advised to submit six months of evidence, but I mostly practice on my own.

Misc Brass identification

Thumbnail
gallery
12 Upvotes

So, I have 101 pieces of this stuff. I got it in an assortment of brass. It was advertised as "6x60". Everything I can see leads me to believe it is 6mm Lee Navy. However, as far as I know, Lake City never made 6mm Lee Navy brass. There are definitely swaging marks on most of the brass, rings at a couple of points along the case body and even some lines along the length of the case body. The neck has some minor vertical wrinkles, presumably from pushing back the shoulder and substantially necking down from a bigger neck ID.

Now, the headstamp on every piece is "LC 62 MATCH". Everything I can see indicates that it either has to be made from .30-06 or 7.62x51, but can you really swage and turn down brass this much? This, apparently, isn't even a popular recipe for making 6mm LN, the popular ones being .220 Swift and .30-40 Krag. Any ideas as to what I'm working with here? I don't have any LC .30-06, so I have a piece of 7.62N to compare headstamps with.

I'm sorry if my little chart down here doesn't format properly for desktop lol

Lee Navy? .30-06

Base .436" .467"

Rim .442" .467"

Case length 2.353" 2.489"

Mouth OD .271" .341"

ID .240" .308"

Base-shoulder 1.735" 1.952"

Had a nice range sesh blasting clays and slapping steel with my brother. Was able to test by 14” 590 that has been Vang Comp’d against my brothers shockwave with the same stock. Definitely a noticeable difference in recoil. The noise signature didn’t seem much louder, just a different type of report, that being said, hard to tell outside with ear pro on.

Competitions/matches How to get started in ISSF shooting and find a coach in Saskatchewan

7 Upvotes

Just got my RPAL and I am trying to start ISSF shooting in Saskatoon but I am stuck finding a coach. The SWF told me to contact the STSA, yet they have no phone number and my emails are not replied, so I wonder if I can just show up at their address. I also checked Prince Albert clubs with no luck on coaching. Who can I actually contact in SK to get started in this sport?

Gun and gear reviews Citadel Adler ad-500 warranty nightmare

30 Upvotes

Hello all. Thought I'd share my experience.

I purchased an AD500 in .308 in August or so of 2025. Upon trying it for the first time, I couldn't hit a barn at 100 yards. Figured it was just me and iron sights. After a breakin cleaning I noticed a piece of iron on the floor (uh oh I hope that's not out of the rifle). Upon inspection and looking at the parts manual, it was a piece of the cam pin that the bolt slides on to rotate. Put in a claim, all was well, they sent me a new part. Great!

I then put an lpvo on the rifle and took it to the indoor range to sight in. I had a 1.5-2" grouping... At 25 yards. Turns out, the barrel is failing. Rifling scored and pitted. Ok. Great. Put it another warranty claim, and they had me send the rifle out to gravel agency in Quebec from Alberta. This was December 2025.

Warranty was approved and process began. After a couple months went by, I began following up frequently. They were waiting for parts, or a new rifle. Then a new rifle showed up at their facility, but it failed inspection. Now about a month ago, I had a new reference number issued in my firearms account. Awesome it must be on the way soon, finally.

They sent me an invoice saying it was ready for pickup, in Quebec. I followed up with them to confirm it will be mailed back, and they said yes just an automated error, and they would send a tracking number when sent. Awesome.

3 days later I follow up as I still had not received a confirmation. They told me it was shipped July 13th via Canada post, and should be arriving in the next couple days, and keep checking the post office. Fair enough. It is now July 29th and after having no delivery notice still, I have been hounding them to send a tracking number or even any form of proof that they sent the rifle back to me, or that their IT department was working on the issue like they said (not sure how it's an IT issue). They told me to take their word for it, that wildfires have been disrupting Canada post, and they cannot disclose company information, and they can't do anything about a refund until they "figure it out". Canada post standard across Canada is 4 business days according to their website, and no postage delay is active on their website. They have basically told me now to just wait.

If a company can't provide something as simple as a tracking number for a package they shipped to a customer, and have no real explanation as to why, I'm convinced they haven't sent me anything at all.

Any advice?
