I have a franchi alcione which has not ha much use. The trigger jambs up when firing the second (top) barrel. I am thinking it something to do with the safety spring, does anyone know of this being a common problem

I have a 682gold and a franchi alcione one. The chokes look identical to each other, does anyone know if they are. It would be handy if I could interchange them.

1/4 choke is plenty for where I shoot. open is also fine

Cant get on with my benelli auto, so after a sxs for fowling with and would prefer an English stock. There are some 3 inch about but don't seem to be magnum or steel rated. I am going to cut off the chokes any way so I was thinking these would be fine. Does anyone think any different or what do they recommend.

RTM, haha obvious really thanks. Cant find nothing in the manual on the link at top of topic list and I didn't get one with the gun. To be honest the shells I have are 42 gram No1 steels, I said minimags because it was easier, appologies. I know its proofed for steel but don't know if it is ok for the larger loads that are 70mm length.

Whats RTM ? I was going to use it for geese with minimags

How would I find out the maximum recommended load for my gun (beretta 682 gold)

Is this gun the same as those advertised on gun trader for 750 new, or is it a differant model.

Is it synthetic or wooden stock and how old is it? regards andy

Condition, length, age, is it cased, Chokes? Thanks

Does it come with a case and chokes?

I have a o/u single trigger ejector shot gun, not sure of make (a lamber copy i am told). Trouble is it won't fire second barrel unless you put safety on and off. I'm told it could be the trigger spring, does that sound likely? Also are they differcult to change and where can i get one from?

Anyone know how to tell the differance between sporter, trap and skeet versions? Cheers

Cheers for the comprehensie reply. You have simply highlighted that as with any other branch of law, common sense and behaviour in a reasonable manner must be applied. The farmer says there is no covenant in his lease with regard to shooting rights, however i know where this guy normaly shoots so i am going to try and find out who he says owns them and ask if they can proof it is as such.

Most of the land apart from this farm is owned by an estate, which leases the sporting rights separaly. Would it be normal for the land owners of the farm not to own the sporting rights. Can the farmer demand to see proof of permission to shoot.

The farmer has leased the land for 20 years and has never had any agreements made. Any ideas how i can check? He won't give any details The only reason for the new interest is that geese are now landing.

I do some vermin control for a local farmer (who does not own the shooting right) with written permission, in turn i keep an eye on his land for dog men etc. Bumped into someone in the gun shop who said he be getting on the geese from this farmers field and that he has permission from the person who owns the shooting rights, and he does not even have to let the farmer know he is coming. He will not even give a phone number or name of his aurthority. I think he is trespassing with a fire arm. Don't know weather to call the police.

Can someone who ownes shooting rights for a given area allow others on the land covered and shoot even tho it is leased to someone else (farmer for example). What rights does the farmer have, do they need permission from the farmer or can they barge on an time it suits. If they aint got permission to be on the land from the farmer are they tresspasing? Or from another angle if the farmer did not own the shooting rights but needed to dispatch of some vermin could he shoot it himself or would this then be armed trespass? Could do with a accurate answer to this one chaps. Cheers

Are they sporter or game guns? How old are they?
