Ah, ok - Never seen a fixed choke one!
-
Multi choke, surely? What are the markings on the choke tube? (Just forward of the gnurled ring)

Try York Guns - they may still have some. Not sure who (if anyone) is the current importer.
Or you could try an adjustable peg spanner - https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/laser-5281-adjustable-pin-wrench/?da=1&TC=GS-040815281&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1sG6qcG91gIVXouyCh0bkQLzEAQYBCABEgJwLvD_BwE
Or make one - they are just a piece of approx 2mm sheet steel, folded 90 degrees to make the pegs. I can do you a sketch with dimensions if you want to try that.

Mahalo are quite good for the price - there are forums dedicated to the ukulele, so you may find a more informed opinion on there.
That said, you generally get what you pay for. The proper uke tuning pegs are a PITA - modern geared tuners are much easier to use and keep in tune.
Expect to have to tune it every day!

See if you can get hold of some MicroMesh - washable abrasive sheets, going down to very fine grit (I have some 12000 grit, and IIRC out goes to 24000). Brilliant for getting a mirror finish.

Tea - check.
Biscuits - check.
(Settles down to watch this one)

Likewise cartridge rules?

16 bore is TOZ-63.
Not actually TOZ, but something in Cyrillic.

Both!

11th November for a pump shoot? Where abouts folks?
AC Sporting Targets in Northolt, 1030 meet up.
-
That's an interesting idea.
Hmmmmm

Well, I finished mending 'Enry last night, and went off to do some clays today.
After about 80 cartridges, the action bar broke again, at the repair. Looks like I didn't get sufficient weld penetration :( The fillet I had added on the inside hadn't dug into the tube properly either.
Back to the drawing board!
I'll have to try again, and put a reinforcing plate over the outside, which I will have to then let into the fore end.
Need to get this done before the 11th of November!

11th looks do-able. Can't do the 12th - Remembrance Sunday.

Eyup there, Kev

So who is up for it, I think the consensus was to wait until after the summer probably around October or November..
Thoughts??
"So who's up for it?"
That would be... me!
November, weekends works best for me...
-
Don't make it too soon - I'm pretty tied up until October :(
-
Have a look on the Shotgunworld forum, specifically the I Love My Baikal sub-forum - this question gets asked frequently, and there is a local on there who goes by the handle of Humpty Dumpty, who is something of an authority on Russian shotguns.
-
I don't mind calling them if the PW mods are ok with me doing it on behalf of forum members (pump club only of course)
What do you think?
👍
-
Up for that, only prob is PW members all over the country, far and wide!
Worth a try, tho'
-
It's a bit slow for simultaneous pairs...
-
...I get the biggest grin factor from the pump
And there, ladies and gentle-things, is the raison d'etre of Pump Club

Sounds like a "carp in the works" situation.
Add per Stonepark's suggestion, take the stock off and give the innards a good clean and lube.
