Shooting wise , it was fantastic. It was the faffing about that put me off. I've put it up for sale , but if it doesn't sell quickly , I might give it another go , and find the best carts , and have another good look at the YouTube video .

Hiya Gordon. I tested the new set up this morning. It was very quiet( much better than I expected from a 9inch mod ), but the norica was a pain to use . I'd been warned that you need to get the right carts , and that you need to load them in the correct way , but it was a right faff about , and I had to take my glove off every time I wanted to reload ( I'd watched a YouTube video on how to do it months ago , but I'd forgotten how to do it π‘). I've decided to just bite the bullet , and buy a .410 mossberg pump. On the upside , I was cleanly and consistently killing crows out to 35 yards . That's a much better result that I get with my other moderated .410 shotguns.

Hiya guys . I'm selling my norica .410 , it's a 3 shot bolt action. It's got its fair share of age related battle scars on the stock , but nothing out of the ordinary( cracks etc) . I bought it as another early morning crow basher a few months ago , and fitted a moderator to it yesterday(NOT INCLUDED IN THE SALE). Ive used it for the first time this morning, and realised that a bolt action .410 is a complete and utter faff about . I don't have the , time , patience, or , inclination, to be messing around, and trying different carts , and different ways to load it , so I've decided to sell it , and bite the bullet and buy a mossberg pump. If you like to wear gloves when your shooting(I always do ) , this really isn't the best gun for you . I spent half of my morning trying to retrieve my glove from the mag and extractor π‘ On the upside, it works fantastically well with 3inch eley carts and the 9inch hushpower moderator( it's equally as quiet as my fully moderated .410) , and it must pattern like a champ (I havenβt patterned it yet) , because I was cleanly killing crows at 35 yards. You're very welcome to come over and try it at one of my permissions, but , you must show me proof of a current sgc beforehand. It's collection only from Tipton, dy4 , near to junction 9 , m6 , or , junction 1 or 2 m5. Β£100 . No offers , as I paid more than this for it , but I might consider a deal with a air rifle and scope. If you want more pics , I can wattsap as many as you want , just pm me your number( only serious buyers please). Thanks for looking π.

Will do Gordon. I'll be picking it up tomorrow, and hopefully trying it out over the weekend. I don't expect it to be as good as my other moderated guns , but being a three shot should give me an advantage.
-
All sorted now thanks guys π.
-
Cheers Steve. I didn't realise that mate . Iirc the saddlery website said collection in person only , with a valid sgc ( the same as most of the sellers). The only place I found that would post them , said that the cost was Β£30 via a rfd partner. I've got a day off work on Friday, so if I can find a gunshop that has one in stock , I'll drive there and collect it .

The one i made works fantastically well Gordon ( even better than my Baikal hushpower .410) . It's on an old single barrel gun , and I've now got a three shot bolt action that I want to moderate . The one I made probably works so well because I ported the barrel, but I don't want to port the barrel on the three shot , mainly because well soon be using steel shot , and I don't want to risk scrapping the gun. If I had the room in the safe , I'd just buy a moderated .410 pump , but I recently sold a few guns to make some space , then immediately bought more guns and filled my safes again π.

Hiya Gordon. Alls well here thanks mate . I hope alls well with you these days ?. I can't find any gunshop that will send it by normal post ( even though its perfectly legal). I found a couple of shops that will send them to an rfd for an extra Β£30 , and I assume rfd charges at this end would be about the same. If I can find a supplier in the Birmingham area , I'll just have to book a day off work , and go and collect one .
-
Alternatively. Does anyone know of any gunshops that sell them in the Birmingham area ?.
-
Hiya wriggit. Thankyou for the link mate . I've spoken to several shops that sell the mods , but none of the ones I've spoken to will post them (despite it being perfectly legal). I struggle to find time to get to shops during opening hours , hence why I'm trying to buy a pre owned one .

Hiya guys. I'm searching for a .410 add on moderator ( the 9 inch one). If anyone has one for sale , please drop me a pm . Thanks for looking. Mel.
-
All sorted now . Thanks for looking π.

Still looking if anyone has one .

Cheers for the heads up mate.π. I'm only really looking for a cheapie to be honest . It's to be used for a project, so will be chopped and changed about a bit . I really don't want to risk ruining anything too expensive π«.

Cheers dave π.
-
And replied to mate , thankyou π.

I think I posted a few pics , but not a step by step job . I'm not organised enough to do that . I just have to sort of get an idea in my head, think about it for a while , and then just do it. I was a bit worried about the pressure involved etc , but I had a lot of good advice from members that have already made and tested mods . The internals are made from some kind of impact resistant plastic . It's very light , very hard wearing , and very quiet . π

Hiya dave. It's for another silencer project mate . I've already got a Baikal hushpower , and a single barrel that I made a mod for ( that works really well) , but I've been wanting to do a 3 shot .410 project since I did the last one , but just didn't have enough storage for another gun . I sold several guns last week , so now that I've got some storage , I'm keen to get cracking with the next project. π

Hiya. I'm looking for a , .410 , 3 shot , bolt action , shotgun . It's for a project , so condition isn't really too important, however , it must cycle the .410 carts well. I'm in the West Midlands , just a few miles from Birmingham, so something localish would be preferable. Please drop me a pm if you have anything suitable. Cheers. Mel. Edited to add. The cheaper the better, just in case I mess things up.

I need this gone , so I'm happy to take a sensible offer on it , and throw in free postage.
