I once had a 1980s nikko 5200 26" sste, aparently a very rare shotgun, iv seen plenty of 500ll nikko's but never came across another 5200! I paid £200 for it in 2009 which was a bargain despite the fact that it did have a small split in the forend but i absolutely loved it, i won my first 50bird sporting with it , i know plenty on here do that all the time but for me it was a fantastic acheivement as there was what i would regard as some fine shots competing in it! i found the gun to be very well made, balance and handling was fantastic, they realy dont build them like that anymore! I used brownings mirokus,and berettas! But they dont feel the quality that did, im not saying this as fact its just my opinnion! I regret letting it go and id have it back tomorrow if i could, i did try to get it back but apparently its was bought by a gentleman down south! From what i have read they are made from winchester 101 actions, says it all realy! Im currently looking for a similer nikko at the moment, that gun realy made an impression and got a bit of attention from the older shooters, fantastic peice of quality shotgun making! atb c.s

Try the special 36 they come in at £72 a slab but they are brilliant, pure evil lol

Damn good cartridges, i use there special 36 and im yet to use a cartridge that these cant match! Hit hard,give great patterns, bit expensive but you pay for what you get!

As said proof marks will help indicate age and where it was proofed, although the age may be sketchy as some proof marks can spread over decades! Send your photos of the gun and all its markings to david baker of sporting gun magazine! Iv read alot of his articles and he seems to know alot! Worth a try Atb c.s

ha ha thats just brilliant, im getting a game gun :-O

Sorry mate had a bit on you have pm

I have same gun they are screwed on but hidden by rubber. Prod it with a screw driver were u would normaly find the screws they should be there! I did my lanber stock a few weeks back, what a difference

You are right there ginger cat, this is very cheap (priced for quick sale) in its condition iv seen em in a shop At 650! Its a sound gun and very very clean almost as new! But got to make room for the new gun so she has to go:-(
