    All sales are final at Cabela's. I brought it back less than 16 hours after I bought it and those dipshits didn't know anything more than I did.

    If I want it fixed I either need to send it to the Benelli factory under warranty or take it to a gunsmith.

    BUT now after just sitting around it seems to be functioning just fine. It maybe just had too much oil from the factory or needed be broke in. These intertia driven recoil systems can be finicky at first.
    i might have to tap out of troubleshooting this because shotguns are not really my thing (which reminds me that i really need to breakdown my Beretta 1200FP and get some familiarity with this stuff). but if you haven't already stripped it and slapped it back together, i'd run through it a few times and make sure there's a nuance you're not missing.

    Baby Desert Eagle II 9mm. ? thing is badass as ? !
    nice. but i will say this: i've got my old Jericho (9mm) around and i love it... but i ? HATE the fact that they stamped "Desert Eagle Pistol" on it. it's a ? Jericho, you Israeli ? !

    but yeah, they're nice pistols (CZ 75 is a hell of a pistol family) and great fun, so enjoy THAT if not the shotgun.

    Yeah doing some research on the baby eagle, its kind of confusing because it gets called a Jericho 141 I believe made by like IWI, and then there's the Magnum Research baby desert eagle II like wtf ? is confusing as hell. I also read the baby eagle will take CZ 75 mags.

    Magnum Research makes their guns in Pillager, MN, which is grimy ? hick town just west of where i used to live.

    From what I've been reading, its not much of CC weapon, which is cool with me, I don't really plan on doing that any time soon. As long as my legs work, I'll never get jumped, because I run too fast for that ? .

    yeah, they're Jericho 941s originally, but they started rebranding them because the DE was so big over in the US. if i had ? -you money, i'd have bought one of those .41 AE Jericho sets... but i don't so the 9mm one is going to have to do.

    they should take CZ 75 mags because they're basically Israeli copies of CZ 75s, but ironically, i've never tried despite having a batch of them. always just had enough specifically-for-Jericho magazines for the Phantom and the Jericho to not have had to share.

    kind of bought the Beretta on principle (not a shotgun fan, really) because they're local to us here... but then again, every damn Beretta i own seems to have been made in Italy after all.

    Janklow do you ever sell any of your weapons. My license is finally about to come through and there's quite a demand in Jersey for long guns of all type. Wanted to know if you ever used a site like gun brokers or such to sell.

    Why wouldn't someone want a Desert Eagle .50 AE? I honestly don't know ? about pistols.

    nah, i've never actually sold any of my firearms. they are my precious, precious children
    only used Gunbroker to purchase, which is often a hassle in this fine state, but in 2013 it was very, very helpful

    well, the big difference is that your Baby Desert Eagle is a slight variation on a well-established, reliable handgun, while the Desert Eagle is a big, finicky goober. the smaller ones (.357/.44) run a little better than the .50.

    but THAT being said, it's not like every gun you own has to be totally functional, so if you've got the money to burn, there's nothing wrong with having it as a toy or part of your collection or whatnot. so i'll always make fun of them, but if someone's like "? it, i just really want to shoot .50 AE," then it is what it is.

    I traded in my .243 WSSM for the shotgun I bought. I hated that gun.

    Winchester Model 70. Decent rifle but I just never shoot it. I had a big stupid 6x18 scope on it that isn't even necessary for MN cause it's wooded and ? up here and I just don't shoot enough to fully untilize a zoom like that anyways.

    I've already got a .270 that I can use for everything from coyotes to elk if I wanted.

    my next gun will probably be an AR in .223.

    on rare occasion i am up in northern MN, so i can kind of imagine that being the case. down here in MD rifle hunting is fairly restricted so it'd be moot in that respect. but regardless, if you don't feel a compulsion to keep it/shoot it for anything, then it may as well go.

    pretty much anyone with a gun collection should add a basic AR to it. does a lot of all-around stuff and it's just a fun gun in the end. we've got some issues with them right now, but at least we can essentially still do them.

    EDIT: not like the furthest stretches of MN, but like northeastern/Iron Range area

    just bought my first piece over the weekend.
    p320 subcompact.
    cant wait to shoot that ? .
    i hear good things about those, but personally, i would have go larger since this is not a carry-friendly state. although obviously the P320 is designed for size alterations

    hope it is a most excellent trip to the range
