I have the DPMS 3G1 rifle. I decided to upgrade it to use for dynamic shooting sports such as 3-Gun and IPSC.
One of the things every AR-15 shooter wants is softer recoil. There are many ways to reduce recoil on AR-15 platform. This article is about 3 ways to reduce the recoil on AR-15 rifle.

Here is what happened to my friend’s Browning BPS. He disassembled it for cleaning to find out the crack on the hammer. That happened after about 30 000 rounds, not bad!

The 10th Central-European Shotgun Open match was really interesting. It consisted of 24 stages with 250 birdshot rounds, 10 slugs and 10 buckshot. All the stages were challenging, and they tested many skills of the shooters.
There were a total of 324 shooters from all over the world who participated in this match. The atmosphere during the match was warm and friendly.
It is interesting that semi-automatic shotguns with detachable box magazines are quite common (Vepr-12, Fostech Origin 12, Saiga-12), even though they are rare options for pump-action shotguns. There are several shotgun models available, such as the Remington 870 DM (USA), Mossberg 590M (USA) and Hatsan Raider (Turkey). Remington even had a pump rifle (Remington 7600), which was designed to accept ordinary AR-15 magazines, before they designed the Remington 870 DM.
The Remington 870 DM, where DM stands for “Detachable Magazines,” is a new version of the good old Remington 870 pump shotgun. Please note that it has a detachable magazine which enables the operator to load their shotgun fast.
Remington made some changes to the 870 platform:
-Added a magwell.
-Modified the super magnum bolt.
-Modified the trigger group.
-The tubular magazine tube is not functional, and it works a guide for the slide.
-Designed 3 and 6-round removable box magazine
The interesting thing is that the Remington 870 DM comes with a super magnum bolt and a regular barrel with a 3-inch chamber.
According to Remington, they fired 100,000 rounds to test the new version, and it works perfectly. The new shotgun looks like a completely finished product with the same quality that Remington is known for.
Always check choke tubes before shooting! Loose choke may lead to damage or injury. Here is what happened to my friend’s Beretta 1301 choke. It was loose and he simply blown it out!

I wanted to write this article for many years now. There are numerous variants of our favorite Remington 870, and it is a little difficult to choose one for a beginner. I receive lots of questions about different versions of the 870 and which one to choose.
Remington now offers AAC’s flash hider on their website. Not sure who needs it but it looks very cool :)
Benelli M2 is a shotgun which is very popular in dynamic shooting sports like Practical shooting (IPSC) or 3-Gun. There were several posts about this shotgun in my blog:
