When steel is forced upon us. It maybe a case of Trap Line take ten paces forward and fit 1/4 & 1/2 chokes. Even my score’s may improve. My favourite ABT but would like to try skeet but not any locally.

Clay grounds could keep going with steel but what about trap disciplines, where tightly choked guns are used. Grounds that have have a mixture of trap, sporting and skeet, may take the view if trap was no longer available would it still be economically viable. The owners of shooting grounds are sitting on a fortune in many cases. We lost Mid Wales shooting centre and it became a five-star holiday park. I realise that was nothing to do with lead. It always appeared to be a busy shooting ground such a shame when it closed.

I have heard good things about Fortis but don’t have personal experience.

Thank you, that would be a good match.

They both look neat. Thanks, I’ll have a look.

Thank you. I’ll have a look.

Thank you. I agree a wooden extension would be difficult and costly and a thicker pad maybe just too thick/long and unsightly if that makes sense.

Good point, thank you, balloon burst.

I always wanted one as a young man but couldn’t afford it, as an old man nothing has changed however, today I looked at a second hand one. Good condition but 1/2 & 3/4 which isn’t ideal but can live with it or have it changed. Length of pull is a problem, it has what I assume is the original rubber type butt pad which I would need to remove, could this be replaced easily and something added without it looking a dog’s dinner. Any advice welcomed. Thanks. ’

As said Guntrader will be your best friend, you could also measure the barrel length and describe the condition.

It could be my failing eyes but didn’t notice a price on the cabinet.

Apart from that it fine, table for two please.

If you don’t mind my asking what make of progressive press did you buy.

Very much like that, thank you.

Some years ago I had the use of a very old BSA from an elderly gent who owned a couple of these under lever air rifles. He described them as bell target rifles. I remember them having BSA in quite large letters on the stock by the grip, no clue of what model though. They seemed to me at the time to be quite long. I am looking at acquiring one but would like to do a little research first. Any suggestions what I should be looking for model wise and is it possible to find one in good condition all these years later. Are there specialist dealers out there. The 1920/30’s is just a guess, I could be way off. I would like one 70% to own and admire 30% for some plinking. Thanks in advance for any advice.
