Thanks Dave.

Latest stick in Lime wood, small amount of paint and varnish on the bill the rest is burnt .I really enjoy making these but finding a good shank is a real pain (should have cut more last year ) this one is a good stout Hazell , 30mm at the top end .

News report states there is evidence to support suspicious disappearance. I wonder if we will ever hear the evidence ?

😉👍

Thats refreshing to hear ,he has a valid point as i said .

sorry forgot this is a shooting forum ,i will have a word with myself 😉

Has he not got a point ? (tin hat on )

keep using lead till you cant .

The engraving looks more like Zabala and the one made by SKB i am pretty sure had the selector on the trigger .

SKB supplied BSA with a single trigger ejector in the eighties .They are great little guns.

A dealer will refuse to take unless you pay them .

This will all come as a real eye opener to all of the wild fowlers who have been using Bismuth to good effect for over 10 years .Are you sure your not just trying to discredit any competition to your new shot , (honestly mind ).

You do not state the gun condition prior to the shoot or the type of cartridge, you do not know what type they were hp or not ,it really is quite simple to understand the most important facts are missing ,yet it suits a retailer specialising in fine English guns to blame steel very easy to understand .He could even have been poking 3 inch shells or 2 3/4 inch shells in to a fine old English 2 1/2 inch chambered gun …. without these facts you are speculating .Simple. Also your table from your link stating permitted wads for Bismuth…ie cupped plastic wad is incorrect, fibre is often used .

As above any going spare ,i have two 1/2 chokes so could swap one .

Just imagine what that would cost to build today ,superb handling ,superb build quality and superb wood ,a timeless classic which has never been improved on .

Thanks for that very interesting nice bit of background history.

If the shop offers nothing for your guns turn them into the police who will dispose of them.

likewise .

Conor is doing an exceptional job under difficult conditions, not many would have his patience .

An accurate assessment from what i've read .

ok

I think you over estimate Bascs influence in all of this ,shooting in general needs to wake up to a changing world and put its house in order or someone else will do it for them …..simple as that.

Not sure its Basc who are out of touch ……Wake up and smell the cofee !

Hi there, fascinated by your preference for German guns ,whats the attraction ?

I f the movement stops with the forend on i wouldnt worry too much .
