Every cartridge I shoot comes out with a black mark on the primer and a deeper than usual indentation that looks rough at the very end. Is that what you see when you say they have split? I have spoken to the shop I bought it from and they are happy to take a look at it so off it goes on Friday.

I will try and see if the pin is protruding too much. How would I know if it is dragging? When the gun the fired the pin stays forward as far as I can see. I did look at this, the pin is set to the 'softer' longer cutout in the firing pin. Still seems to give a fair old whack to the primers though.

I recently bought a greener gp in good condition from a local gun shop. After taking it out a few times I have noticed that it seems to pierce the primer on every cartridge I put thought it, I have disassembled the action and looked at the firing pin at full travel and it does not seem to be excessively protruding, although the main/hammer spring itself is very strong. Does anyine have any experience of this and possible remedies or do I just take it back to the gun shop under its 3 month warranty? Is this something they can likely fix? I don't want to take it back and kick up a fuss when it may just be something greeners are renowned for. Just for information I have tried the gun with a number of different cartridges all within the proof and chamber limits, its not that I'm trying to shoot something over these. Cheers James

I'm in Pontefract mate in West Yorkshire

I have 4 boxes of 9mm RWS Cartridges available. £10 per box or have the whole lot for £35 Pickup only with certificate

That looks quite smart I like the look of that. I think I will end up going with something like this as the tweed doesn't really appeal.

I was considering a baseball cap but I don't want any particularly in your face or colourful. Having a quick flick through the Basc mag they do a waxed cotton baseball cap that looks decent.

Evening all. This may be the most dull question ever asked on PW so please bear with me: So last weekend I was unfortunate enough to take my first ever bit of clay to the head in my 4 years since starting, not exactly the worst pain in the world but it got me thinking. it seems a fair few people down at my usual ground wear various caps and hats, most of which seem to be there lessen the blow of any stray bits of clay they may encounter. With this in mind I was wondering what you all wore if anything, and any suggestions? Thanks James

I have 7, 70mm Winchester fired hulls free to a good home if picking up, or just pay postage. For all you crafty types, yes they do have the Winchester head stamp and ¾ of an inch of brass to play with. Thought someone would want them to make cufflinks or something out of them, saves them going in the bin if someone wants them.

PM'd you mate

On the lookout for a side by side hammer 410 with 3 inch chambers. Would love an El Chimbo or the like if anyone has one for sale.

Ah there we go! I have found quite a number of these on various sites; i wonder if they started marking them as Parkemy after a certain point as there seems to be a fair few more of them?

Thanks for the replies. The more I hear about them the more I want one. Problem is no one seems to be selling! Is anything a bit more available comparable as it seems all I can find are old Belgium guns chambered in 2 and a half. I would prefer 3 inch.

Looking for information/experiences about el chimbo 410 hammer guns, specifically in side by side configuration. I'm told these are one of the few 3 inch magnum hammer side by sides you can get hold of, anyone have/had one are they any good?

Looking for a cheap and cheerful .410 cleaning kit as I have bought a new gun, anyone got one laying around not in use?
