the famous auction site has them here ... 370492875989 and describes them thus ... "HATSAN ESCORT O RINGS X 2 22MM WILL FIT ALL 12 GAUGE SEMI AUOTS GR8 PRICE" That's where I got the 22mm from :unsure:

you star

2 x 22mm nitrile (?) rings a bell :blink: ... I've seen the answer to this somewhere on this forum but I'm bu99ered if I can remember where, and searching hasn't found it either. Somebody has got to know.

don't know ... maybe them as do will reply

What size are the O rings that fit the Hatsan Escort between the barrel and piston? Ta in advance.

If I'm honest I use Lyvale 25g 6's in my side-by-side as I don't enjoy having my fillings rattled with Eley 32g 5's, but the 32's go into my O/U and semi for any game/rough/etc. I always use the cheapest 28g 7.5's I can find for clays. And always Eley Extra Longs in the .410 oh, and fibre wads for preference. Landowner rightly gets a bit funny about plastic wads.

anything cheap with fibre wads.

If you don't tell them how will they know? So best not to include messages like .. "Here's the payment for the gun". Have sent and received payments for guns through Paypal, but have also used bank transfer both ways too. No more info changes hands than you'd find on a cheque. Safe as houses and no PayPal fees

true, true. I got mine as described above for £280 .. they're out there cheap if you look for them. Apparently my model would have been £450 new :blink:

Hatsan Escort Choke Tubes ... I've read these are the same fitting/size/thread/etc. as Beretta Mobil chokes. Is this true? Basically .. will a Beretta Mobil choke fit a Hatsan Escort?

WANTED: Hatsan Escort Stock & Fore End .. black synthetic or camo (cheaper the better please!)Condition not important as long as they're not trashed. PM me

double post .. sorry

Hatsan Escort ... just bought a good cond. second hand 26" bbl one with all the chokes, etc. still in the original box ... really pleased with it. It's loads better than the Beretta A303 I had a while back for any number of reasons. Not had a W&S but heard enough negatives here and elsewhere not to put it on the list of options. Never heard a genuine opinion about an Escort that was negative. Don't listen to the 'my mate's cousin had one and it was **** ...' brigade. If you want to shoot it while you're sat in a hedge rather than show it off at the clubhouse it's a no-brainer. That said, mine's got a nice walnut stock/forend and looks nice too. Get one.

I'm after a good condition Phase 3 Crosman 1377 (the latest one please) as near to being standard as possible. Doesn't need to have all sorts of bling/new seals, trigger parts/pro-blocks/MIM rear sight/etc. - totally bog standard as it came out of the box and in good nick will do me just fine. Standard grips are good for me, but would take one with a shoulder stock fitted if that's what you've got. I'm a bit set on a 1377, not really looking for other flavours of Crosman, CO2 powered or otherwise. I have a Phase 1 1377 already, and have a Phase 2 1377 on the way. Thought I'd try to complete the set. Not interested in a .22 thanks guys, even if it does make tea, hoover the house, flatten squizzers at 60 yards & punch a hole through a Sherman tank at 3/4 of a mile (or similar descriptions of superpowers ). Unless you're in South Dorset, you'll need to be prepared to post it as transport is an issue for me at the moment. PayPal gift money (without much of that boring 'to & fro' haggling) is waiting for a good example, come on chaps - time to sell that 1377 you bought and never shoot . I'm happy to pay a reasonable price without the drama. PM me, post on the thread, email me, whatever. You know it makes sense PS., I am over eighteen years old and I am not a ‘prohibited person’ under Section 21 of the Fire Arms Act.

I like boresnake for speed, but you can't beat bronze brush & mop for that deep clean. Had a .410 Webley for a while, nice gun for bimbling round the shoot when feeding the birds. Bit of an acquired taste for clays though! Got a Baikal now, like it a lot.

I had a BSA XL Tactical, bought it new - what a piece of cr4p ... took it back and got the Longbow. I can't understand why so many people bemoan the fact that they're Turkish Get a Longbow!

just come across this thread while I was looking for something else. I have a Turkish Longbow in .22 which I bought about 8 months ago and I like it a lot. It's very well made, shoots better than I do and with a strip and lube it's now pretty smooth. Thumbhole stock is a definite winner. To complicate matters a bit I thought about fitting a Theoben Ram to it but not sure if they make one for the model. Nothing says they do one on the Theoben site. Oh well ... I'd certainly recommend the Longbow. I appreciate it's not everyone's taste and that it's Turkish manufacture is a bone of contention with any number of purists but it's still a good gun and it's in the right price range as far as I'm concerned.

now sorted, thanks for looking! :blink:

...and Conyers in Blandford, Heritage Guns in Shaftsbury, John March in Wimbourne or Lambert & Wiltshire in Ringwood. I reckon you might have your work cut out actually finding a Darne ... interesting choice!

If you fancy going a bit further down, might be worth giving Southern Counties a bell, or if you're feeling flush try Sportarm in Dorchester ..

WANTED; Steel Parker Hale non-proofed silencer for air rifle, anything in reasonable condition considered. If you have a proofed one for sale, I can confirm this is wanted for a non-FAC air rifle, and will not be used on anything else.

:blink: I teach for a living and the apathy among the students is breathtaking ... we (as a society) get the leaders we deserve. Want to change it? Encourage the 40% who don't vote and just moan about the process to get off their ***** and get involved.

wholeheartedly agree with this .. .410 throws out less therefore less chance of a hit, and it's like swinging a broomhandle - light and hard to control smoothly. You lad'll learn more with a 20 bore O/U and he'll be shooting it for years.

very true about seeing the smoking cart tumble out ... Rourkes Drift .. ahhhh ..

sales / transfers have to be done 'face to face', and amendments / additions made by the seller to your shotgun cert at the time - so finding a good deal on the internet and having it sent to your home is a non-starter. You could have it sent to a local RFD but they'll likely charge for the honour of handling a gun they didn't sell you. Best thing to do is just get in the car, plan a trip round several RFD's and remember the credit card and your certificate. Don't forget to let your local police force know asap when you buy or sell a gun.
