Wish I had my FAC! I've always wanted one of these. Maybe one day when I have more time!

I do like the look of the 612. I have read that they aren't good with 28grm carts.

Looking for a 12 gauge semi auto. Have a budget of circa £300. Would consider most makes. Looking for wood or synthetic stock but not Camo. What have you got? Lancashire area only or could RFD.

Well after a false start with a 32" version I am now the proud owner of a 686E Evo in 30" complete with "Chav Chokes" as my mate calls them! Took it to Wyre Gun Club this morning and shot 31/50 which ain't bad for first time out with it. May this be the start of a long relationship.

Had a call from Malmo's earlier, they'd quoted me up to a month to get a 30" in but they had one in now with my name on, just can't get there to pick it up until Saturday :-(

I didn't want to name them until I knew it was good publicity, just need to wait now until it my new one comes in!

Evening all, Phoned the shop yesterday and they told me to bring it in to exchange. They've ordered me a 30" no quibbles. So all good. Excellent service from Malmos so far :-)

I'll let you know how I get on when I ring them in the morning.

All I want is to exchange for a 30" so fingers crossed they'll let me.

Thanks triumphant59, I'm hoping so.

I bought a new Beretta 686E Evo today. I'd gone for a 30" barrel version but when I got to the shop they only had a 32". At the time it felt ok but couldn't compare it to a 30" so bit the bullet and purchased. Now I'm home and compared it to my current 30" Lanber it doesn't feel right and I now regret the purchase. The shops now shut so can't ring to find out and I'm worried they might not refund me. I haven't fired a round from it yet. I'll give the shop a ring on Monday but can't worrying I've just wasted a lot of money.

Took it out today on clays following a good clean up. First pair it cycled nicely. She jammed mid way through the second pair! I've had a look at the piston sleeve and can't see it fitting back if I turned it round. Think the carts were 67mm which could be part of the problem. I'll give it another strip down and get some 70mms.

Thanks Underdog, don't suppose you know which way round is which?

Got an old Franchi 520 Hunter which every now and again jams. Been using it on clays with 28grm carts. I've given it a good clean but it still starts to jam again after a few rounds have been through it. I think I've read somewhere that something inside can be switched round so it can cycle lighter cartridges, Does anyone know if this is true and if so how do I do it. I really like using the gun so would like to get it working properly.

The HSE doesn't come with tinted windows, well not on 2007 models, the HSE spec has slightly changed since ours was produced so they might now. We went for dark black on the back then a shade less down the sides, looks really smart.
