iamspuddy Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 i am after a good wildfowling gunslip, The zipped one i have is no good when it gets covered in mud on the marsh . so i need something long enough for an a400 extreme preferably without a zip. so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mat Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 I use one of those flambeau floating ones. Takes a 32" barrelled magnum 12 or 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
widgeon man Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 It won't accept a 30" barrelled 10 pump I have. Best one is hunter specialties one from john forseys. Long enough for the 10 with extended chokes and 30" a400 xtreme my dad has Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donkey Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 I'm just getting one made based on the drake slip my sp10 is too long Velcro up the sides and over the top I will let you know the price when I get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GADWALL41 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) my 400 Xtreme travels in this one . Feeds in from the end , Velcro strap , no zip and long enough for an extended choke to . I find the folding sections the best feature . Should be Available in the UK or via E bay link, http://www.ebay.com/itm/AVERY-GREENHEAD-GEAR-GHG-FOLDING-FLOATING-GUN-CASE-KW-1-KILLERWEED-SECOND-/301145569828?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item461dacba24 Edited December 20, 2014 by GADWALL41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muncher Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Got a banded one from from cabelas,but that has a zip but its way too long for my A400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konnie Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 had one made will look out the maker based on roll up one but longer, shoulder strap on side rather than edge and all plastic closure clips simple but on its 4th season on the marsh think it was about £20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayano3 Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Get the hacksaw out. Get a rough measure at 24.5 inches and get cutting (make sure it's from the breech end). This enables you to get any gun slip you want and saves all the problems of what chokes you require for what bird and what load. There is proof out there that this works, I haven't done it as I can find my tape measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Great advice from ayano3 but if you choose not to follow it I have just ordered one of these. http://www.tidepool.co.uk/accessories/gun-slips/avery-mud-case-kw-1-gunslip-detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBoar Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Second the Avery ones with the velcro flap. Have the folding one which takes a browning 28" maxus + code black goose choke, and also fits Benelli Supernova 28" with code black duck choke, just!

FatFreddysCat Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Made this out of the leg of an old pair of neoprene waders. Edges are glued and stitched so it's waterproof. It's not clear on the pic but there's a velcro flap to close the top. This takes my 32" barreled SXS 10g but could be made to fit whatever you want. Folds over so the stock and barrels lie next to each other, stuff it in your big rucksack with the barrels poking out of the top or carry using the shoulder strap. When it wears out, I've still got the other leg! Am I a cheapskate or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawntredder Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 a just use a napier roll up...they stay dry up to a point but they roll up to nothing so it goes inside on ye belt loop that's the design or just stick it in ya bag....simple but very effective and strong & all for a tenna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinchesterDave Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Plus one for napier it's a simple effective piece of kit..does the job nicely on the Marsh. Only draw back I can think of with it, there is a micro fiberish type of material on the inside and the bead of the gun can snag occasion on it.

harrycatcat1 Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 I wonder who did that ayano3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 I use the camo hunter floating type from John Forsey. Love mine. No zips all Velcro which is great. Also the strap is designed to make it easy to carry when trudging over coastal mud. Its not overly long in its placement on the slip which helps it fit you better.

anthonychez Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 dont know which to recomend but dont get a browning floating gun slip. the valcro fastener broke within weeks. then my zip broke. might just be my bad luck tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayano3 Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 I wonder who did that ayano3? Our club secretary tried a few years ago and finished with one barrel longer that the other. The off-cut is now part of the Gedney drove end stand at country shows. I also know someone who did this to a lovely sx3 as he was too tight to buy a true cylinder choke and a long gun slip. The cost of the modifications was £50 and the gun slip £30😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrycatcat1 Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 My "conversion" to 24" to my sx2 only cost £30 best thing i ever done with a gun. Sorry to op going off topic. Regards H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
