  1. Lost count of the number of times my scrap pile has helped out a client and come to that put a few pounds in my pocket. I am happy to scrap, do the paper work and horde spares. Example is this. To make a new main spring/ejector spring(leaf pattern) will cost from £80.00 to £360.00 as a one off. so just sometimes that rusty old gun is worth scrapping and doing 10 mins of paper work for. I scrap about 15 guns a month and would be very happy to quadruple that number.

  7. Good evening, Gordon Apologies for the delay. Firstly, I must declare an interest. One of my lads that I am coaching has been recognised by the management at Caesar Guerini and consequently has been fortunate to receive a sponsored gun, and also I am a personal friend of Kevin Gill, one of the directors of Caesar Guerini, who I shoot with on a regular basis. However, I would like to think that I am sufficiently professional to answer this question as my heart and experience tells me. When I saw my first Guerini competition gun my immediate reaction, seeing only the traditional bottom bite, left me feeling that this gun would not stand the test of time as well as the big names in competition gun production. From an engineer's stance I think you have to appreciate the Perazzi, Gamba and Kaymen locking mechanism it is reassuringly strong and conforms to my belt and braces way of thinking. To contradict myself, Browning/Miroku have used bottom bite locking mechanisms for years and it would be a bold man that criticised their longevity. At the bench I have had to tighten all of the previously mentioned guns, not the Caesar Guerini at the moment as this gun is still fairly new to the English marketplace. If I had to come down in favour of a mechanism I would certainly favour the Perazzi/Gamba. It has been proven that a single bottom bite, if well engineered, with a tapered bolt which consistently moves forward slightly as the grip deteriorates gives more than adequate and, in many cases, favourable barrel to action fit and keeps the gun on the action face. In the case of Caesar Guerini, this bolt is very well engineered, I think that they have benefitted from taking a long look at the experiences enjoyed by Browning/Miroku. I am aware of one Caesar Guerini Summit model that is a shooting school gun and when servicing it this year I was very pleased to see how well it is standing up to a phenomenal amount of shooting. I feel this gun is certainly comparable to the Berettas and other guns in its price range and beyond. One incredible plus is the after sales service which I have experienced. A client lost the forend push rod. I requested a replacement. It appear by first class post with a compliments slip - quite unusual for the gun trade. There are a number of items on the Caesar Guerini, and come to that, Beretta, which I positively dislike. I hate the ugly safety catch on both models, it looks like an afterthought. Trigger guards that finish at the rear of the action. What little more would it cost to extend them and finish them traditionally? On the CG the forend Anderson & Deeley style forend push rod is horrid. It looks to me as if somebody remembered it at the last minute and just stuck a piece of steel in the end. It needs re-engineering and ideally finishing with a proper escucheon around it to set it off. I am aware on their premier models they have addressed the trigger guard - now I'm being pernickety. Gordon, I hope this answers your question. You obviously come from an engineering background and I tend to conform to your way of thinking, I feel. Regards
  8. Good man keep it English proper guns.
  9. Gordon great question and It warrants a full reply may I respond tomorrow please as shattered
  10. Bet you wish you had kept the old lady! I had the chance to buy a Blue rock live pigeon gun about 10 years ago from a dealer I was £50.00 pounds away from owning it but pride got in the way and I stood on my last offer and how I wish I had bought that gun.
  11. Love Greener's The Greener family has brought much to the gun trade. It is a true English gun and cost around £10.00 when new. PS GO WASH YOUR MOUTH OUT FOR USEING GREENER AND AYA ON THE SAME PAGE. :blink:
  12. Same action, same barrels, same stock profiles, different finish.
  13. The Old chap has got hold of the wrong end of the stick here. I think he has been watching a gunmaker at work jointing barrels. We use a smoke lamp parafin and oil to give a sooty film on bright metal so as both surfaces come together we can see any high point. We call it smoke blacking, it will not act as a barrel finish. Just think this a slight misunderstanding
  14. F J Wisemans Gunmakers proper people get a quote first
