    28 Gauge O/U

    As per the title I’m after a 28, will consider any o/u even youth stock Thanks
  2. Sold pending, thanks for all the interest
  3. Would also consider a swap for a 28 gauge 👍🏻
  4. Thanks, yes you could easily! It’s certainly been priced to sell!
  5. 19 Crimes Dark red part aged in rum barrels. For £10 or less it’s hard to beat, none of this wishy washy rubbish with a fancy name!
  6. Unfortunately not! But I can always send rfd 👍🏻
  7. Excellent mint used condition. fixed choke half and half Steel proof 30 inch barrels 15 inch stock includes approx 400 cartridges worth £150+. Please ask for any more info £1850
  8. So you’re saying it’s just the manufacturer covering their backside and protecting themselves against worst case scenario? To be fair it does make sense but it’s scaring people off from using steel altogether which is a shame. An old boy was telling me last year he would give up shooting when lead goes and wouldn’t risk shooting steel through his pride and joy! Not sure how much joy they will bring in the cabinet for the rest of his days
  9. Great, this is what I needed know, thanks! I was planning two forends as they obviously come off with the barrels and don’t want to have to remove the forend each time But only through a steel proofed barrel? This gun is 1970 and isn’t steel proofed. I use gamebore bio or eley eco and neither recommend tighter than half
  10. Yes that’s the problem but I think we’re only going to see it more and more and will eventually make the gun more saleable It’s choked 5/8 and 7/8, maximum for standard steel through that gun would be half and besides it patterns tight with lead, I don’t think it would shoot very well with steel at that choke even if it were recommended.
  11. Looks like I might go down the Teague route! I just don’t want to ruin the way it shoots!!
  12. Can anyone tell me if the Browning B25 barrels are interchangeable? I’ve got a C3 that’s 30in choked 5/8 and 7/8, it’s shoots really well at its current choke although originally started life at 3/4 and full. I’m thinking of buying a second set of barrels or a full gun for the barrels alone but in 28in with 1/4 and 1/2 or thereabouts so I can shoot steel as I have for the past few years. I want to keep the guns original barrels choked as they are for game days The doner gun would be a lower grade a1
  13. Can anyone recommend a way of treating a monumental red ant infestation? We have just moved in to our new home, the garden is about .25 of an acre but is completely unusable at the minute, every footstep brings red ants to the surface, there are mounds in the grass everywhere… some visible and some not, I’ve never seen anything like it!! The house hadn’t been lived in for a couple of years and I think they have just run wild, the kids can’t go in the garden and we can’t even sit on the patio! Im thinking an agricultural spec insecticide is going to be the only way to go unless anyone has any suggestions? All help greatly appreciated as the kids are covered in bites
  14. After using steel for a year my findings are that for a start I convinced myself there were more wounded birds, the range was greatly reduced and my ratio was terrible compared to lead. However, I now realise it was all in my head, yes there are wounded birds but no more than with lead, range over decoys shooting from a hedge or roosting in a wood are no different as far as I can now tell and my ratio has actually improved over shooting lead. I don’t claim to be the best shot and almost always shot pigeons at 2.5:1 this went to 3:1 when I first started using steel but is now pretty much a constant 2:1 The real shame is that there is still no outlet for them, people offer to take them and then don’t get back to you or make up excuses, I miss being able to run in as many as we had shot straight to the game dealer 😞
