Winchester Fiber Optic Shotgun Sight

I was originally going to dish out a bunch of cash for Trijicons offering in this category until I happened to be in Walmart and noticed the little Winchester sight. It cost me about 10 bucks.

The good stuff: So far the sight holds tight to the rib of my 11-87 very well. It appears to be some average stamped steel, so I don't know whether that will change over time, but for low price I can stomach buying a couple of spares. Plenty bright for range and competition, particularly in sunny conditions.

 The bad stuff: you get what you pay for. Considering the price point, I imagine I will be replacing it at some point.

Overall a good little gizmo. I haven't been able to find it online, so it might be a Walmart only kinda thing, but thats not really the end of the world. A widely available, low cost fiber optic sight?! Oh no, the horror lol.

Nordic Components Sotgun Barrel Clamp

I used this to replace the stock Choate barrel clamp that just felt weak and flimsy in my hand. I didn't get the model with the rail section on it because, quite frankly,  I just don't need it.

Good stuff: The fit is very good. The screws are a little stiff going in, but that's not an issue since I dont really want them coming out under recoil. After 500 rounds fired, the things still holding like a rock.

Bad stuff: a little expensive, but not the end of the world. If you want rock solid performance, you are going to have to pay more than you would for a cheepo clamp.

Overall a great product.

Nordic Components Low Drag 12ga Follower

This is the Nordic Components low drag 12 gauge follower. This will be another short post because its a pretty simple part.

The good stuff: I originally was using the stock Remington follower, but after seeing how thin the plastic was and dealing with a few tricky reloads, I ended up popping in the follower that came with my Choate extension tube. Talk about a major downgrade! The little polymer sucker jammed up even more than the stock Remington follower! I started looking around for something that would be more robust, yet move easier inside the tube. Long story short, this was the answer and it works like a charm!

The bad stuff: I got nothing. Sorry.

Overall, this didnt speed up my reloads at all, but it definitely make for a more fluid push into the tube. No jamming, no hesitating, the sucker just works. Good product.
