That’s actually a stabilizer tube.

It’s filled with mercury to add weight and dampen recoil. It was a rare Pope accessory found mostly on Creedmore rifles chambered in 22 short.

Gents,

Just in case anyone else is having the same problem and doesn't know where to turn.  I keep getting the ASSRA page with either a 404 "Page doesn't exist" or "The page you are looking for cannot be found" warning.  After clicking on the "Forum" button, I could get into the forum with the acknowledgement "Good morning Hayface".  But that is as far as I could go.  Click on anything after that and I suddenly became a guest with limited access and the inability to post, see the pretty pictures, ask questions, etc.  

Somehow I gleaned Josh's email address from the site and he sent me a link to change my password.  I was able to Login, but only by using my email address.  It doesn't recognize me as Hayface.  And I didn't even trim! 

Thought it might help some other frustrated old geezer who doesn't get along well with these confusing devices and may be having the same issues since the change.

Hayface

I was getting a 404 message all week, I am not sure what I did, but I finally was able to log on.

I also have "404" issues that I can't seem to resolve, though I have figured out how to inconveniently back-door into the Forum.

As  for the home page photo, the gun clearly has an under-barrel magazine.  And whether a rifle or a shotgun, it's definitely not a single shot with a mercury-filled "stabilizer tube", as Dellet suggested, no doubt with tongue firmly in cheek.

If you are getting 404 error, you are using an old bookmark or link.

Option 1:
Go to the main site, (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links);
Click on the "Forum" button in the top right corner
Make a new bookmark on this page to replace your old one
sign in if needed

Option 2:
go straight to the forum using (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)
You may see a short message about being redirected for a moment, but the forum should automatically load
make a bookmark of the main forum page to replace your non-working bookmark.
sign in if needed.

Option 3:
If you get a 404 page, there should be a link to the new forum in the upper right hand corner. If you arrived at the 404 page after searching for a specific topic, use the forum search to find that topic again.

Unfortunately Google and other search engines will have a mix of the old and new pages for a while. They SHOULD eventually get rid of the old pages once they realize they no longer work. When searching any result that goes to (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) should be a good one, and any that go to (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) is old and will result in a 404.
