Before I reply to this can I thank the lads for recommending us, your continued support is much appreciated. Gordon is correct - you cannot work on the barrel bites on a Medallist it would be inadvisable to do this. The question is loose and off the face - this is two separate issues. Normally on the Medallist they suffer with lack of grip. To remedy this the action has to be fully stripped, the bolt removed and by a highly competent tig welder additional metal is laid onto the bolt. Then by means of accurate filing and use of a smoke lamp the bolt is realigned with the barrel grip and this remedies lack of grip and often pulls down the barrels back onto the face. Option 2 - wear has taken place on the barrel pivots. On an English gun we would be talking about the cross pin. The two circular studs on either side of the action to which the barrels hinge onto have become worn and allow the barrels to move forward off the face. This I would suggest is unlikely and the lack of grip is causing the problem but diagnosing by email is not an option. I would suggest that you seek out a competent smith in your area and get him to take a careful look as this is a major safety issue. The cost of reinstating grip in our workshops including the strip and rebuild would be circa £140. I trust this helps. PS Gordon if you find yourself in the area drop in for a cup of coffee.

THANK YOU OvEr_KiLL nice of you. Very happy to help if I can.

OMG just had to reply to this, having read two pages of excuses, here's the facts, some may find them painful, unfortunately there is no easy cure. If the Lord has deemed that you have a right master eye, the gun has to be mounted on the right shoulder and, in consequence, the right eye sits down the rib line of your gun. If you are left eye dominant, then the gun has to be shot from the left shoulder, obviously leaving the left eye looking down the rib of the gun. To shoot with a shotgun you require both eyes open. If you disagree with this, try catching a ball with one eye closed, or driving a car. Can it be done? Obviously, yes and many do, however, just imagine just how good these one eyed shooters would be if they used both eyes. Is there any merit in these shooting aids - easy hit and dots? Yes, there is, it allows weak people who will not change to the other shoulder an opportunity to shoot slightly better than they were previously however, if you wish to do the job properly, change shoulders. Is there an easy route? No. Can you buy a solution? No. Sorry, the truth hurts. Regards, Sage

You are having a laugh aren't you tell me you are taking the p.................

It just so happens that I have one, and for sale aaaaaaaaaaaaand if I did not like you I would sell it to you. give me a call your stock and forend is finished and looks good. regards Sage.

Thats kind, thanks chap from Paul Dennis and all the boys at UK Gun Repairs

Good call like that.

Now I know where my black handled turn screw went!!! Spot on job Paul proud to work with you. Have a good break and regards to all at number ! Sage.

Thanks about reminding me about my work load you ******, this is one of the few unwind things I do. And I think you can confirm my 28 gauge kills well.

Big problem with a 28 is that you will shoot it and fall in love with it super little caliber. Chris and I both shoot our driven days with a 28, they handle and kill so well. Pick the the right cartridge and they will kill even the best of the West countries premier drive's birds Do not under estimate this super little calibre. As to the Webley for the money they are ok try and find a nice second hand one as you are going to chop the stock to fit junior, nice to save the Vat and dealer profit. Best Regards Sage. Take care and keep your head down.

Thanks Dave We enjoy what we do but to get feed back like this makes it all worth the effort, Thanks to you all from Dennis and Peter and all the guys here at UK Guns.

A shade long thats a little old school now most top shooters are a lot closer to their thumb

Hi all,my browning grade 5 stock is looking a bit tired and also it's got some dents and scratches.what's the best kit to buy to really bring the grain out and what's the best way of removing dents/scratches.there's a gunsmith locally that is holland and holland trained and everyone says he's the nuts but he takes ages and it's going to cost £150-£250 So I'm thinking of doing it my self any suggestions [/quot [/Trust me if you can get a full London oil finish on both stock and forend for £150 to £250 from an x Holland Finisher/stocker grab the offer with both hand but it must be a true London finish. We are in a very low cost area with small overheads and we are £220 plus postage and it takes 3 weeks to get a proper finish, so go shake that mans hand..... quick

Make you a new one from scratch harden and temper with one hand tied behind my back in 15 mins fair price circa £15 to £20

Hi Browning and Miroku suffer from f/pin wear often the bottom barrel comes of worst, if you can see staring or change of shape it would be wise to have a spare pin in your care and when the gun starts to miss fire change the faulty pin. the gun will not just stop working but you will get the odd misfire. very easy job for anyone with a few basic tools 10 to 15 mins max if you require pins give me a call regards Sage/Dennis.

Please get your new gun fitted for you you will never look back at 6 foot 90+% of guns will be to short of the peg and with a longer stock length cast to fit is a must if you wish to shoot to your best. Regards Sage.

Just short of the mark for a nice english box lock but a mint AYA N0 4 is in reach. Also a nice Webley 700 could be found both would serve you well and should you wish to move on at a latter date to grander things both would be very easy to px or sell. Should you wish any help from me please pm me Sage/Dennis.
