Millsurp Garage, Since a shotgun is a point and shoot firearm it stands to reason that some of them just fit and feel better when handeling them. I owned a lot of shotguns of the semi and slide action and SxS type and as much as I like the looks of Remingtons I have found myself favoring the Mossberg 500 suits my type of shooting the best. My second choice is a a simple Stevens 311 SxS in 20 gauge. I am a hunter of small game and not very good on the sporting clays range . I too like finding good guns that just need some attention and make the clean up and repair . Good job on this model 58 you and the shotgun most certainly deserve the Score 24 Award.👍👍👍🍻🇺🇸✌🏻😎
I’m a bit guilty for dismissing it all these years as a “failed” design that was “fixed” by the Remington Model 100……well……it is….but I was still guilty mainly because with the right combination of set up, maintenance, and care….it need not be dismissed. I actually like the thing!
It certainly is…… it worked very well. I will be using the replacement flat washer for now as Terry (the eBay seller) wants me to test it and follow up with him long term and I agreed. The o-ring I selected needs a test too!
Watch carefully, there’s a lot of thrashed beaters out there, I’m assuming due to the fact that you really have to care for this one…..gas relief selectors, fore-end washers, brand new to Remington gas pistons and chambers to clean……a lot of these went neglected. Wait for a winner.
Nicely done!
Thanks!

The round section o ring seems to be a pretty good stand-in.

@@MilsurpGarage Yeah that’s what I gathered.. but for 200-250 it still a fun winter project.
So where can the ring washer be purchased?
Not allowed to directly link it but I gave all the info needed for a hardware store purchase.
