  1. Hi, I bought a marocchi finn classic 512s 12g/.308 and also looking for a set of shotgun barrels. Just a heads up, they may not be interchangeable with your gun from what I understand, needing a bit of gunsmithing to fit.

    I missed a 512 with shotgun barrels on gunstar a while back, v.annoying.

    Good luck with the search.

    Jon.

  2. I work with chainsaws and power tools, mostly on my own, I shoot (often on my own). So I booked myself on a F.A.W.+F course, now I carry a trauma kit on my fuel can and whilst shooting, it's no good in the truck when you really need it.

    Cat tourniquet, Israeli bandage x2, scissors, whistle + bits and bobs. Most minor stuff can be dealt with using electrical tape and toilet paper😁

  3. There is a you tube video review of a F.A.I.R.combination gun. Hope this helps..

    Also attached a pic of my Marocchi Finnclassic 12g/.308.

    If its a good price go and get it or you'll kick yourself.

    P.s. I wouldn't normally shoot 3 roe in one go but thought I'd missed with my first shot, saw both deer running away and shot again, remaining deer took a few steps and stopped so I took that one too, when I went to shot site there were three dead deer on the ground. I hadn't missed just not seen third deer.

    Good luck!

  4. Last winter got some close up views of a pair of water rail, very obliging as they fed along a hedgerow in full sight. We often get peregrines in off the coast hunting and training their young ones. Had gannets diving on mackerel whilst out kayak fishing here in s.devon. A favourite walk on the river dart almost always produces goosander, dipper and kingfishers.

  5. I've been asked to service a mates meteor mk2 which has a leather washer, what is the best oil to use for the washer? Along with new washer I'm fitting new spring, guide, breech seal and screws. The old cracked spring guide parted during disassembly.

    Thanks in advance...

  6. Enjoyed that, birds were decoying lovely! I like the fact you show misses as well as hits. Seemed to take while to get your eye in but good honest shooting.

    Do you pick your birds up? I always feel a bit guilty not picking up shot birds in standing crop but you can do more damage with a dog or person trampling wheat to find em. Thanks for posting.

  7. what length and twist on your barrel?

    What powder will you use?

    I'm still developing a load for my 1:12 23.5" barrel, vit 150, rws brass, various weights 150-200 grain. Its just for woodland stalking. At some point I will try hardcast bullets too.
