I see a few people at my local ground who use sxs guns. I think it's more fashion than anything, but a heavy o/u sporter will reduce felt recoil after 100 clays in an hour or so compared to a lightweight game sxs!
-
That would then beg the question, if they're that desperate to sell it and it hasn't been sold in a for sale thread/advert already, what's wrong with the gun? And are they asking for too much money for it, etc...
I think the best guns would have already been bought whilst waiting for sellers to come to you.
But I see your point I suppose.

I've got to be honest, this type of thread always irritates me no matter what forum I'm on!
If you want to buy a gun, go LOOK for one! There are loads for sale here, there and everywhere!
You can't expect everyone who has a gun for sale to contact you just in case their gun is "the right gun"!
Sorry for the rant. :-(

Did you finally get the case finished?

I have the non-ejector version of this gun (no.3), and it's a cracking little gun! Got a real solid feel to them. Have been told by a few shooting friends that they regretted selling these AYAs when they've had them in the past.

Lost my dog on the isle of wight earlier this year! Was devastated! Luckily he was chipped and so we were notified as soon as he was found!
Bloody terriers!! Haha!

Was it not that long ago that the BBC had a program on about the foxes that had got into a house and mauled a child?!
I swear I remember watching it, or reading about it in the newspaper. Wonder if they will mention that in tonight's documentary?!
-
Fantastic news!
Were the owners local to where you found them?

Welcome to PW.
Hope you get your puppies sold, it's definately worth hanging round this forum though. A great source of knowledge and experience to be had! :-)

I bought one of those led lensor p7 ones last year for £20 as part of a national sale at my local ironmongery.
Very good torch, and being plastic, is a lot lighter than their aluminium torches.
-
Very nice looking gun! :-)
-
I did a lot of searching for a Miroku as my first O/U and struggled to find anything decent at this price!
In the end I managed to find a very nice 7000 grade 1 for £600 (but admittedly it is a multichoke).
My point is, like what's already been said, grade 3 for £600 is a steal regardless of choke! Just look on guntrader and you will see what I mean!

I love my Barbour jacket!
It's the "lutz"which basically is like the trooper except without the chest pockets. I was deterred from getting the trooper for that reason, as I was worried about the pockets catching on the butt of my gun when mounting it.
It is a slightly more contemporary design and cut from the more classic style Borders jacket, etc, but it's warm and waterproof.
By the way, John lewis stock the "border", the "Bristol" and other more original Barbour wax jacket designs. ;-)

Where are the photos?

Photos, or it didn't happen! ;-)

I haven't managed to find anywhere online where I can buy cartridges cheaper than my local RFD by the time you add on delivery.
It may work out cheaper if you buy 10k or more, but I personally couldn't afford to buy that many in one go! :-(
-
I would imagine if you regularly clean your gun regardless of usage, what brand of oil you use will make next to no difference! As long as you remove old oil (ingressed with the dirt, etc), and re-oil after, Job done!
-
Despite the comment in the article stating "it can't be someone local..." the chances are that it IS a local who has probably shot all the signs in the 15 mile radius that they have seen.
Can't imagine there is a group of gun owners going out randomly shooting signs?!
-
Looks great! Good job!
I've just done something similar with a Miroku 7000 I bought recently. I wish I'd taken some before and after photos now!
Will be good to see some final pics once the stock is back on....
-
What should I do now then? Contact my feo and tell him it wasn't on my original application?
-
I never knew that you had to declare motoring offences (i.e speeding)?! I thought it was just criminal offences?
I never declared my speeding fine on my shotgun licence, and the FEO never mentioned anything about it?!

-
Nice Looking gun that! :-)

Also, it's only high performance steel shot that can't be fired through a non-steel proofed gun. Standard steel is ok for most modern nitro-proofed guns. That's why it says on the basc website anyway?!

Don't worry about losing the application money either because in the worst case scenario that they wouldn't grant it, you'd get your money back anyway.
But I'm sure you would be fine anyway.
Good luck mate.
