Wow, cool Topic! My Dad used to call them 'Shucking Guns' I have a Ithaca DS Police, has the parkarised finish. I use, and get on well with it erm, down a clay club, it was cylinder as standard. I had it multichoked with Briley chokes, it ALWAYS loads, I can hold it upside down and shake the hell out of it and at the same time pull the slide forwards, has NEVER failed to load,any size of shell, oops, someone is going to start a Ithaca vs Remmy 870 fight soon !!!

Sold sadly, yes was a 97' great guns, the balance is v front heavy, more than normal, everything is very solid, I would get the shortest barrel one you can lay your hands on, trouble is due to old powder burn times I guess they all seem to have hoofing long barrels, good luck! I did look at a Marlin, but apparently it is not advisable to fire them I have heard ?

I will keep you in mind, I hope your patient though!! I added some more pics including the black powder shots not worrying a plastic bottle! http://s740.photobucket.com/user/gduk1/library/?sort=9&page=1

Okay, thank you! http://s740.photobucket.com/user/gduk1/library/?sort=3&page=1

Hi, Skeet is not the same as cylinder, it does have a slightly tighter pattern, I used to have a Beretta 680 skeet, great at close clays, cylinder no! Here is a quick reference chart: Shotgun Choke Yardage Shotgun Choke Restriction Diameter difference between bore and shotgun choke Cylinder < 20 0 Skeet 22.5 .005 of an inch

Wow, the cry of sacrilege !! And you are all right, it is your opinion. Yes, there is no way I can fix an external choke for sure, but internal, you cannot see, problem is although it is nitro I do like black powder but on cylinder?? I was at my brothers farm, put a plastic water bottle probably 20 yards away, and fired, the bottle was STILL standing, nitro knocked it over(but not with many pellets) I have the pics somewhere. As to the Norinco, please see the video attached and make your own mind up, not hard the guy gives it a massive canning ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UisjxqqfIbo Shame to leave it in dark 'Solitary' rather than let it do what it left the factory in 1888 to do! Stupid question how do I add pics on here?? I am not sure how to add them, any tips and yes no problem!!!

Is it wise to multi choke an antique Shotgun?!? I am unsure what to do, I have a Winchester 1887 (12b) I have dated the serial number to the year 1888 I had it nitro proofed, but it is cylinder bore, there is no point in having it and not using it, cylinder is no use to be I don't shoot slugs or buck! I am unsure if a second dose of a 'proof' round may kill it though, worth risking, anyone done anything similar? Many thanks.

Cool review, great shape guns. I have a Winchester 1887 serial number dates to 1888 I had it nitro proofed but it is cylinder (just a smadge over 24inch barrel) I may multi choke it. Not sure I want to put it through the stress of another proof round though but cylinder is absolutely rubbish unless you are in the habit of shooting (if your licence lets you) slugs or buck. Not sure what to do.

Hi, I know it is not the best place for this, but wondered if anyone had for sale a IWS night vision sight, the type that was used on the L1A1 rifles etc? I have tried a few NV forums also, any help would be appreciated, many thanks guys (and girls)!!

Hi, I have just aquired a Brno Poldi Electro, lovely little sbs, I have just taken it out and notice that even when unfired when I re break the action the left barrel always ejects a unfired round.....very strange, just wondered if anyone knew what was wrong? Many thanks, Happy Xmas!!!!

Hi, I have a BRNO Poldi Elektro from 1971 which is a lovely little sbs. But, major problem is that I do not have the barrel sling swivel, back is not a problem but the front one...I can load on pics if people require to see, just wondered if anyone knew where I could buy them from, many thanks, happy Xmas!!!
