A heads up just in case anyone might be interested , in the Holts unsold lots Lot 3008 shooting bundle there’s a brand new picatinny rail for a beretta extrema ( over £100)amongst the flasks etc. Buy it now price is now £39.

Screw layout and light border engraving on the action indicates that the gun is a number 4 and at £100 is probably a great deal.

Just received the AYA XXV. Thanks Gary the gun is a credit to you ,it’s in great condition and I’m hoping that the gun and I get on when I try it out on clays prior to having a shot at pheasants,if not I’ll persevere until we do it’s that nice a gun.👍😀

I’d be happy to buy if still available

The article reads like it was written off the top of Bill’s head with little effort made to inform or entertain. It has prompted me to dig out my American and British .410 Shotguns book,Ronald Gabriell, to reread. Perhaps you could recommend it to Bill. I haven’t a copy of Climbing the North Face of the .410 but I think it may be a source of information on the ballistics and potential of the .410 and a bit more up to date than The Gun and its Development ,W.W. Greener that he refers to.

Thanks, yes might be as Mick did say he hadn't received my first PM offering to buy. If I quote him on my next post he'll get an alert 👍 Maybe your pm in box is full Mick, I've sent two further pms regarding pick up but no reply so far 👍

Morning Mick I’ve sent you off 2 more PMs but no reply so far so wondering if you are receiving them.

I’d like to buy your twelvette P.M. sent earlier 👍

Scope arrived today well packed and in as new condition. Thanks Chris I’m looking forward to putting it to good use on the rabbits.

My first decent shotgun was a Nikko 5000 mk2 trap gun and the quality shone through. This is a lot of gun for the money, would easily reproof for HP steel and would be choked perfectly. Best of luck with the sale Gordon, someone will be getting a bargain. I had a 20 bore skeet gun made in the same factory as a classic doubles 101. It never once failed to fire or eject and printed both barrels one over the other with good even patterns. The guns from the olin kodensha plant are all great guns and worth double what they sell for, yours probably 3 times the asking. 👍

I’ll take these if they are still available Dunks

Duplicate post

I notice the post I made questioning the validity of research data procured from force feeding lead shot to birds being applied to free ranging birds has been removed and also the point that it would surely be more relevant to catch up birds at the end of the season and test them to ascertain the extent of any lead shot toxicity. Both these points were relevant in reply to earlier posts. and had not been posted previously in any other thread.I fail to see how they could be construed as cyber bullying and consider that they are valid points that merit a reply. In this instance I consider your deletions as censorship and contrary to the interests of open debate. I also notice that you continue to allow “evidence” to be presented supporting the banning of lead shot which is based on research data procured from force feeding/dosing birds with lead shot. I dispute the validity of such research when applied to free ranging game birds and question whether you should allow such information to continue to be presented as a valid reason to support restrictions on the use of lead shot inland.
