Try Franco Beretta or Bettinsoli in Italy . You may have to buy minimum quantities ,as all of us that did sleeving had to do . Those that have sleeving tubes will be very reluctant to let them go as they are loosing a job .Those that have some that they will sell are probobly tubes they dont want to use themselves .

Its the unnecessary over loud and intrusive music that drowns out dialogue gets me ! No matter what the sound level is .Thank goodness for mute and sub titles .

Without knowing your height , build ,overall physical condition ,the sort of shooting and how much you intend to do it is very difficult if not near impossible to make anything but the vaguest of recommendations . There is a huge choice of guns and people will tend to suggest guns they favour . To say one gun fits better than another is misleading as they do not know you . Having done a lot of gun fitting I have seen too many novice shooters sold the wrong gun or have bought the wrong gun believing it is correct .Its difficult . Personally I would in general suggest a basic game/field model 28" ,if multi choked fit the 1/4 & 1/2 then lock the rest away till you can shoot the gun well , stick to one brand and load of cartridge until you feel confident . Take a few lessons with a competent shooting coach , then and only then can you make a sensible decision as to whether you need a different gun and take your time in looking around and deciding . Do not be swayed by magazine articles and people trying to sell you something , telling you that you need this length barrels , these coloured chokes etc.etc.etc.

Is it in the barrels , the action or the stock ?

Very hard to tell .I have vague memories of seeing a stock with similar carving some years ago on a B25 Note sure about the gold initials So is it an up grade or was it an original custom gun .Browning's did make some guns that did not fall into any exact grade norms so I would guess this was made i As you are in Belgium I would suggest you contact Paul Pletsus ( not sure of spelling ) or Jan Bliki or if near Maastricht then Rolofe Lucas any of these would be to Tell you exactly

I cant open your link .But . It should be possible to obtain a lock from Spain in the white ,but the amount of work to fit and finish it then engrave it , would almost certainly outstrip the guns value . Finding another gun that can be canalised could be a solution but finding one of the correct age and engraving pattern may be next to impossible . Returning the gun To AyA in Spain would be an uneconomic proposition. Sorry to say it but unless you can get some detectorist/s to go out and look for it tracing your path ( A reward may induce a few takers ) I think you have to face the fact you now have a scrap gun . Insurance ?

Can depend on the dent ,its depth and whether its a sharp dent or a dished dent . The age , specific wood and the finish can all have effects . Steaming is your first option .

It will not have been sent back to " the factory" .It may have been sent back to the importer who will have sent it to some one to look at it ,but thats all .The cost of shipping would be prohibitive . Some years ago I did warrantee work for an importer of some Turkish made guns .There was an on going problem for which I suggested the guns should be returned to the makers .I as told it was cheaper to replace the guns and scrap the rest rather than sending them back . At this stage you should be demanding a replacement gun or a full refund .Please remember the dealer is a middle man but he should be on your side and expediate the matter asap.

First off its not an ejector its an extractor gun . Yes if you open the action with enough force then it may throw the case clear . If its been boxed up since new then the wood could have " moved "as in swollen or shrunk .If it needs easing off then its not a big job as with the stock which probobly needs the stock bolt pulling up . Using it without these things correcting could lead to future problems .

Not saying this is the case but I would check out the RFD to make sure he is legitimate .There are a few " part time working from home " RFD's who dont always follow the letter of the law .

I mis read the original post .I read it as wanting to convert from S1 to S2 .NOT S2 to S1. Mis read the post as S2 to S1 not S2to S1 Sorry mis read the post as S1 to S2 .

A replacement mag tube must be securely fixed with a suitable adhesive . A crimped tube would need to be certificated by the proof house to satisfy most authorities . Doing yourself providing the original mag tube can be removed without doing damage is a possibility . But please remember you are dealing with Police Firearm's officers who are not always the most receptive or sensible of people .

Look to be very similar to the Doctor red dot .Have fitted these to double rifles and a colleague on the continent said he was taking scopes off and fitting these . They are great for moving game such a boar , esspesially if your eye sight is like mine , you see the sight or you see the target, depending on your glasses . I se no reason what so ever to fit one to a shotgun unless you are shooting solid slugs, apart from a method of parting money from people who would be better served spending it with a good instructor and gun fitting .
