I say go for it, i have a couple of OU but tend shoot with the Beretta semi and have never had any complaints. It wouldn't bother me if a couple of empty carts land at my feet or hit me. Its not like they hurt or put you off if your not actually shooting. Some people are funny about them but as long as you are safe and unload between stands there should be little to worry about...

Ouch mate. Time to break out the trusty old Teknys Al391...?

If you tell him you are going to do it and he calls your bluff and you actually do shoot his traps, you will be ruining everyone else's fun and he will just call the police and have you up on a criminal damage charge?!

I have got a Teknys Sporter i would be happy sell but its in Bristol...

Too right - Martin should play a key role in the proceedings. He has been ultra-helpful so far, we gotta get him involved for the grand finale! Cat, thanks again i have pm'd you.

Wow thanks Cat you are a scholar and a gentleman! That would be amazing! I have got paypal if you want to name your price :-)

Thanks you are a Gentleman. Guys thanks for the leads, i'll talk to some people.

Hi All, & thank you for the helpful speedy replies! Martin that link looks great, good work. I am not sure of the product numbers but i will give them a buzz and see if they can help. When you say make arrangements, that sounds interesting; are you in the import / export biz?? lol. I think the fore-ends for the 686e and White Onyx are interchangeable although getting matching wood may not be so easy. Re the East V West, i am signed up for the forthcoming clay comp as discussed at length in the clay forum. You should get involved, we can put them to shame :-) (bring shame on myself more like)...... I did try and contact Beretta and GMK independently but no one responded. Maybe worth another chase but it;s infuriating sending email and getting no response! Muchos kudos

Hello All, Recently my 686E and my friends White Onyx fell over at a clay shoot. Both were unloaded (obviously) and were about to be dismantled and put back in the car but the fore end on mine is slightly cracked and my friends has some scuff marks. Does anyone know where i can buy replacements? Although it is only cosmetic it will obviously effect residual value long term. I tried to contact Beretta directly but my emails fell on deaf ears, any thoughts very welcome! V best Luc

Ive got a 686e sporter and a Al391 Teknys and rate them both very highly. Thinking about trading the semi for a trap gun though as shoot more dtl than anything else....

This sounds great. I'll pm you my details.

Brizzle my lover!

One spesh on the way out the door o a Sat night really adds a zing to the evening! Just the one mind!!

My 2 pennies worth, The problem is not BP & Esso setting the price of petrol, it is a case of basic supply and demand of crude oil. The oil producing nations have restricted oil supply which has pushed prices up. Crude oil which is widely publicised to have exceeded $100 per barrel is meaning that prices at the pumps have to rise. With the government taxing petrol so heavily, us not buying for a week or two would not make a speck of difference and the only people we would inconvenience is ourselves! Luc

Great, thank you, some very useful advice! The link to the shotgunworld page was extremely helpful with the pics i strongly recommend anyone with a Bereta AL391 to red this. I have disassembled the Beretta in its entirety and cleaned every square inch. I am surprised to see the useless tools they give you to disassemble the valve, the bolts were on so tight i have bent both tools already. Hopefully with any luck this will have solved the problem, thanks again!
