I had a hatstand luxano for a couple of years and it served its purpose. Lost a £100 when I traded it.
Had a go with the Armsan yesterday - now that is a real bargain sa

Gun amnestys used to result in more than one "senior plod" coming into possession of some of the best and most valuable privately held gun collections in the country for free. Do they destroy them these days or is it "same old same old".

Are you an NGO or BASC member? if not join online NOW! Then ring them first thing in the morning!

+1 join basc, then ring them for advice on how to handle plod in your circumstances - remember you are dealing with an organisation that for the most of the time deals with the criminal fraternity and they may not be as straight forward in their dealings with you, as a decent member of society, as they should.
-
Keep a paper record of each and every dealing that you have with plod and confirm any verbals in writing, not just for firearms and shotgun licences, everything. You never know when you may need it. You can be the most law abiding of citizens, but plod is always "mislaying" things which if you keep records are easily resolved, but can take a long long time to clear up and possibly involve a load of grief if there are "no records".
-
before spending out on any form of shotgun have at least a couple of lessons in gun fit etc - that shouldn't cost more than £50 or so - then at least you will have some pointers before opening the wallet big time - cant go wrong with used browning miroku or beretta to begin with - but make sure you take someone who knows guns and gun fit

I need to extend my mk38 shotgun stock by about 35mm or an inch and a half.
Any suggestions welcome
thanks
-
looks a bargain
-
many thanks to all who have commented or offered suggestions - I am most grateful
-
Anyone any views on what makers I should be looking at - Afraid my budget doesn't extend to Mr Purdey - In fact far from it - have up to £1,500 but if I can get something nice for £500 or so would be just as happy. Don't know much about sxs so any pointers welcome - Many thanks in advance

When buying a Beretta i would be inclined to ignore those with "X-Tra Grain" stock finish.
if you have bigger hands then maybe a Miroku would be a good choice
Most important thing, first and last, is "fit".

most important thing about a semi auto are the carts that it requires to work properly. Buy the wrong one and the extra cart costs can make a more expensive semi auto look cheap.

Hi everyone just looking for some help really on a good first gun to buy I am very new to this and have around £1500/£2000 to spend I quite like the beretta 682 gold e but im getting told so many different things some saying brownings some saying beretta and so on. thanks for any replies.
not all instructors/gun fitters are the same - might be worth trying 2 or 3 - welsh warrior appears to have a decent reputation on here and wont rip you off, unlike some "experts"
Depending on what you shoot, you can, for example, pick up a used miroku mk38 grade 5 multi choked, 2 or 3 year old with less than a thousand shells through it for around £1,650, but it has to fit. Brownings and Berettas are the other brands to consider. If you "buy right", and buy the aforementioned brands, you shouldn't loose any money on resale. Plenty of guns out there - if you don't know much about guns take an expert, don't rely on the seller for obvious reasons.

Miroku MK38 Grade 1. The best value for money clay gun on the market.They are built like brick outhouses,handle very well and have a good resale value.
+1, you can't get any better no matter how much you spend, but make sure it fits. Plenty out there

horses for courses - there are many pw members that give tuition to meet the needs of the majority on here, however if you have the cash a couple of hours with GD may well be interesting to say the least.
-
why not phone up a couple of brokers and ask them what car attracts the cheapest insurance premium for your circumstances - dont tell any porkies though - all insrance companies share databases and if you tell even the smallest of porkies they will use it to refuse to pay any claim - insurance is based on "truthfulness"
-
i'm a miroku man, love them, nothing better for the money in my book
-
Good to hear your happy, enjoy your shooting.
Welcome to the empty wallet club.

+1 empty wallet club is about right for those cant stay away from the clay grounds

You should always be extremely careful in any dealings with plod - they are not exactly well known for being straightforward in all their dealings - and if they make a mistake in applying the law it is not plod that pays the bill its you and me. For the individual concerned it can be extremely traumatic. Who watches the watchers? or indeed, who holds plod to account? at the moment it is themselves.

only stating what I observed xx it would appear, that to some, it's a hanging offence xx i hope i get a hearty meal before the trap door falls!

They also protect the muzzle ends.

good point
-
no, not on this site
-
just making people aware - without naming names there is a Miroku 12 gauge MK 38 Grade 5 (TRAP) on one of the better sites
-
auctions are more and more of a rip off these days buyers premiums increasing, sellers premiums increasing, lotting fees, internet bidding fees, fees for a bidding number - sellers get the rawest deal in my view, buyers dont fare much better either. At one time there was a sellers fee of 10% and that was it.
-
I have noticed that there are quite a few shotguns being advertised by both private and trade sellers on "gun sale sites" that are a marriage of parts without that fact being disclosed by the seller. This poor practice appears to be on the increase. Anyone else noticed?

£350 - unbelievable price for a semi auto m/c in this day and age when you take into account Vat, everyone taking a cut, delivery and then a 3 year warranty to be honoured. Appears to be of a reasonable quality too!!
