It's a Brazilian made Boito.

Only problem with recoil pads is what you use the gun for. DTL - no problem. If you shoot Sporting - gun down - many recoil pads snag on your clothing. One company does a decent recoil pad with a plastic insert at the top, so the gun doesn't snag.

I wipe the outside of the gun with a rag soaked in WD40. I also grease the knuckle joints / end of forend iron, edges of ejector kickers and forend catch (on the barrel).

Use 3 notches top barrel and 4 in bottom. Hit anything at clays.

If you use 7s, 7 1/2s or 8s for all clays, you won't go far wrong.

Son has not been back to me, so it seems sorted. I know nothing about the gun. I have given my advice - down to them.

Just had a phone call from one of my sons. Relative of his partner is moving house. In process of clearing out the loft, he came accross a shotgun - been there 25 years, from when he last held a certificate. My own advice is to hand it in urgently at a Police Station, before it gets worse. I recollect a similar thread some months ago - if someone could direct me to it.

For Skeet - use Cylinder in bottom barrel and Skeet in top. For game or Sporting Clays - 1/4 in bottom barrel and 1/2 in top. Keep selector to the right so it fires bottom barrel first.

SX or XS? Barrel length? Chokes? Photos?

Browning. The poll is a little limited - doesn't include Browning

Two thin screwdrivers or similar. Push into the hole about one inch and push outwards - torwards the side of the car and pull.

Tweedledee - very sorry about your loss. I have had four GSDs and taking them to the vets, when the time came, was truly awful. I knew what I had to do, but didn't want to do it. Good looking dog - commiserations. When I lost GSD number 4, I went over to Akitas - I just couldn't face another GSD. I was lucky - I had 4 GSDs who were brilliant. I could not have asked for more. All different characters. Loyal, fearless and bright.

Look cheap to me for the North, unless someone knows where they can be bought cheaper.

Brilliant performance from the best. Did not get hit by a punch, which put him down, but a forearm to the nose.

Hope Joe does it and quits - then stays quit.

I had a diesel Frontera - LWB. 40MPG - far better on road than Disco and excellent off road. Just about the cheapest vehicle I have ever run - just bought number 93 yesterday.

I hope Hamilton wins because he is better and British.

Shooters who have these tend to get them sprayed adding yet more cost to £1k. Still look vastly overpriced.

Fawlty Towers - Classic. I like Jonathan Ross, but he is limited. Russell Brand - if he is funny, I will plait sawdust. Looks like a pantomime dame. Short in the talent and brain department. Looks like a potential village idiot to me.

Superbly done.

CL - cylinder **** - 1/4 *** - 1/2 ** - 3/4 * - full

Someone say something to upset you?

These are used mainly by DTL shhoters. About £1000. Main bits look solid enough, but the actual cheekpiece looks flimsy and cheap. Overpriced and a bit gimmicky.

I have actually seen the gun in question. A tidy bit of kit at a bargain price - from a top bloke.
