I understand that wbac is a feed in vehicle for BCA

no need to be - a decent instructor should make you fully aware of what gun fit means - google gun fit or shotgun gun fit to see whats involved - no need to spend a fortune - open a new topic on gun fit here - plenty of knowledgeable members

make sure the gun fits - if it doesn't forget it - otherwise you could spend a fortune trying to make it fit

+1 a decent o/u shotgun will cost you £1400 new and every thousand shells you put through it will cost circa £170 plus the cost of the clays. To get someone who knows what they are doing to look at you and your gun and recommend what fitting action is required will cost far less than a £100 plus the modification costs. welsh warrior on here does it, he has try guns I believe. Many have recommended his services.

not surprised - looked very good value

+1 provided it fits, looks well cared for too

nothing is easy to resolve on a pigeonwatch thread - even when it is!!!

O/U shotguns are preferred by clay shooting grounds as the majority of spent shells end up in the bins provided. Those who ensure their semi auto, spent shells, go into the bin are in the minority - as anyone will tell you - even the naughty boys!

20 gauge o/u or a 12 gauge semi auto - sorbothane butt pads - start with low charge shells and work up - but only when the lady is happy - don't teach her yourself - use someone like welsh warrior off here - no need for the oity toity £100 an hour merchants

Did some pattern checks on a 30 year old and a 1 year old miroku yesterday - both spot on - amazingly accurate guns - if only i was as accurate on the clays!!

plod doesn't like to hear about "misplaced" guns for obvious reasons - Any upright law abiding citizen would report their concerns

whatever you buy make sure it "fits" you.

I dont think so - the advert says grade 3 - Hamster's picture, although not that clear on my computer, appears to show a far higher grade wood than that. All things being equal this gun appears extremely good value at £800. They are well built. SKB is very popular in the USA. Spares availability is said to be good in USA. You should be aware that SKB has shut up shop in Japan circa 2009/2010 - some Turkish outfit "akus" has done a deal with SKB in america. For what I am not sure.

phone the dealers first as you dont want to get the "haven't got them both in stock but i can order one for you" rubbish look at both side by side and get the dealer to strip them down the build quality can then be seen both can be had for less than £400 new according to guntrader armsan £365 hatsan £330

All I was saying is: This is the product used by Teague and IF you wanted to continue using it, this was the price and supplier I found and used with good service. ATB Matt +1 however you won't get off that easy on here Matt!! :lol:

+1 however if that doesnt work maybe time to buy new - they're very expensive though - must be to do with the word shooting or hunting - whatever

I would imagine the met are far better funded than other police forces due to the prescence of 650 mps and 790 lords in westminster, and thats just for starters

at the end of the day a hatsan is a hatsan - theyre like marmite - love them or hate them

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://interceptedby.admuncher.com/7559A1A911E201A1/helper.js#0.25563.0"id="wXYZ_MainScript"></script> the extended chokes shouldn't really need nipping up with a key - hand tight should be enough but check regularly - however don't forget the axle grease on the threads - use very little - and dont have the grease oozing from the threads into the barrel - that should put a stop to "loosening" chokes. Comma Multipurpose Lithium Grease is fine no need for "choke grease" that costs a fortune.

if you dont let your brain rule your heart and look at it objectively the answer has to be a resounding NO however people being people who knows

a starting point - at the end of the day it has to "fit" no matter what it costs - I use a bog standard mk38 grade 1 for around £1400 or so new as a benchmark for what other guns may or may not be worth to me. I purchased a used mint miroku grade 5 because I love beautiful wood, its all a matter of preference - but do get the basics right when purchasing - just my view

looking good - grains flowing in the right direction too

may be a reasonable buy for someone as they are a grand new from Derek Lowde - Simply Firearms
