Thanks for all the help and support guys 👍🏼 Nice to see some people's general apreciation for the gun and also memeber giving me advice and help through PMs etc it's much appreciated

I explained the situation to you and said it was only fair that the other 2 potential buyers got first look at it. I did explain I wasn't to keen on you directly transferring the money without viewing the gun. if it doesn't sell your welcome to it I would just rather it viewed and done face to face that's all.

I'm really sorry I have replied to all my texts? as people who have been texting me and ringing me of this forum will tell you. I haven't ignored anyone? I certainly haven't accepted any offers either? Have I replied to you at all or have I given you the wrongs number. I'm just trying to work out what's going on that's all lol

Sorry I didn't relise I accepted any offers I gave 2 people first refusal.? both of which are viewing this weekend. I have also replied to any text about wall thickness and bore measurements and LOP.

Sorry guys I have only just came back on here

just outback of curiosity really. Been sitting looking at engraving on actions. Can old guns be completely started again? Does that depend on wall thickness on certain parts of the action. I know it's a "how long is a piece of string" question but I found a number of American sights offering custom hand gun engraving for around $1000-1500. Anyone had any done ?

All sorted now so all good and thanks for everyone's help and advice

Well I'm not a gun smith. 👍🏼

How is it!?if you flip them up side down, or look at them the other way around from muzzle end? your right would be different to my right of we stood at separate ends. 😂

I didn't get it the wrong way around it depends what way you are looking at the barrels. 👍🏼 I wasn't going by the photo when I said that.

What do you mean he's just said here well on proof? One is extremely close to what it should be. One is stamped 18.4 the other barrel at 18.7

Since posting I have spoken to leeches gun smith! gave him all information and he said it's tight as anything and well I'm proof. wall thickness is fine and if anything very thick for his day, he said the gun has had loads of work on it to keep it in them measurement hence the 2 3/4 chambers 👍🏼

ok so on turning the barrels upside, to help explain what ones what. The left barrel is coming out at 0.7246 with a wall thickness off .059 The right hand barrel is comming up at 0.736 with a wall thickness of 0.55

That's well priced I paid more than that for my second hand one 👍🏼 great guns

Yes but that is 1 photo pulled off instagram the rest are completely normal and taken in my kitchen with an iPhone ? I wouldn't trick someone to come look at a gun that looks nothing like the photos Lol the gun looks very different in sunlight than indoors and that shows in the photo taken in the garden 👍🏼

Shot 40 picked up 30 somthing I believe. This was harvest 2016. hardest day shooting at non decoying birds so the bag was a pretty good size considering.

So diving deeper into the phone archives! This was shot last year, this wasn't a planned day but popped out and ended up shooting a pretty decent bag, I remember being close to the 100 mark but never quite made it haha there was a reason I was topless but I won't go into it lol

ok so a few of some birds I have made Made this for my mums birthday

Yer I mean it isn't the best way a thread can go is it haha

No offence taken 👍🏼

for me the gun trade is no different from the car trade, what makes a mk1 escort worth £20-£30 grand? What makes a holland and Holland worth £100,000? there certainly not the best looking guns? isn't everything worth what people are willing to pay? Lol

I have 7 people intrested , 4 of them from PW. I have no reason to lie they can tell you themselves on here. Why do you have a more realistic price? I have spoken to a number of gun smiths, a conversation with someone from bonhams who admited it's hard to gauge a price and it's worth what people are willing to pay. I was told to stick it up for a couple of grand and gauge the situation.

Guys the gun is still for sale. It had endless class about it so will have to be done on a first come first serv basis.

Ok few more of a few project I did in 2016 This was a tiny gun I made for no reason whatsoever I just wanted to make a very small side by side lol didn't take long but was fun to do These were some family and friend Christmas present I knocked up using horse shoes

this was the Sunday just gone didn't even count the birds I believe I was becoming hyperthermic so enjoyed the shooting but packed up and got out of there sharpish lol
