That's what I thought but when watching a video on YouTube it gave you the bands of serial numbers and it started at 1952. I read more and found an article saying it was released in 1952 in Europe and didn't get a good following so was then realeased in the US in 1955

Whole thing has been stripped down, bolt stripped trigger out and all cleaned etc Takes a bit of working out how the trigger comes out and bolt comes apart but all fun. Mine has 2mm of brass added on the receiver so that it will cycle more modern day clay loads From what I can gather mine is one of the first made that didn't have the Prefix letters

Hi, Just bought a double auto and it's a steel receiver model with just 296 stamped on the receiver, this would appear to be a 1952 model. Like all modern guns are the barrels on these guns stamped with the same serial number? I ask as mine isn't but still has a 1952 code on it. Chris

Well I finally got a pair of Alt Berg, spent over a hour in the shop getting the fitting right then got the call today saying they are all done and should arrive next week. Service from their staff is impeccable, i must have tried 7 different combinations before we finally got the fit perfect and nothing was too much trouble for them. Only down side is the misses now has her eye on a pair!

Davey and son isn't far from you, had good service from them buying guns and they do work on them as well. Not sure if it's in house or put out to someone else.

Does he have a web page or facebook page to see?

Hexham is about a 2 hour drive on a good day for me. Looking closer to home if at all possible

Mines done this since new, about 3 years now, I kept getting told it will free off just keep shooting it. Finally in at a local gunsmith and its biting on the grove in the barrels, said its an easy fix and won't cost much to sort.

Hi, My wife has a Winchester Select Light with a rubber comb raiser fitted at present. Where in North Yorkshire/Teesside is the best place to have an adjustable comb cut in and fitted? Thanks

Pay days been now so next week I'll have a look over to alt berg see what they are like. Heading to the game show today so I'll have a look at the other makes if they have any there.

In plastic though aren't they? I need fibre

She's just started to shoot and said the 24g hurt her shoulder so for the moment want to keep 21g till shes more confident and has the gun mount correct every time. 8's are a compromise but when your only allowed 9's they don't help us. I think I'm going to have to try her on 24g again now the guns been fitted to her but don't want to put her off if they are hurting her

I need 9's which neither of them are, wife shoots 21g 8's and and the compx 21g everywhere else just needs 9's for one site.

Does anyone do a 21G 9 fibre? I've looked in all the places I can think of online and can only find a plastic wad which is no good for where we shoot.

I'm impressed they give you the £85+vat back if they do the work, my local stratstone don't and I was having the rear diff rebuilt which is another common problem at over £500 to fix. I did manage to claim 50% of the cost back through landrover as the car only had 56k on it when the diff nose bearing went, that was January and still waiting for the money!

I had mine taken out on the V50 as it saved a lot of hassle, there are 2 types installed on the V50 one that uses an additive one doesn't. Depending on the millage the tank may need to be filled which is a pain to do as its located on top of the rear axle. If you google it you will get a picture and be able to see if you have a tank or not fitted.

Wife's car did exactly the same, wouldn't open and blown fuse due to the filler cap. Think it cost me about £65 for the filler assembly and boot lid switch and took about an hour to change both of them. Really easy fix if your that way inclined and all the parts were landrover no aftermarket ones!

Altbergs are expensive but I've not seen any £250 plus on the website, yeah your looking at £200 but then you spend most of the day in them so don't mind paying a premium for a fitted boot. Being local to them has kind of swung it for me so I'll be having a run over next week to try them. Never know I might not like them.

I sat and read most of the website last night, he's a fighter to keep going I'll give him that. I'm going to go over on the next free day I get and get sorted I think, looks like they do some really good gear.

I have a pair of Scarpa GTX boots but they are a little low up the leg for support when walking on rough ground. Brilliant boots I do all my shooting in them at present and even were them for just popping out in and I also have a pair of Scarpa shoes as well I like them that much.

Cheers, Had a look and there's a Alt Burg Factory Shop about 40mins drive from me so I'll have a look over and try them on. What models do people have? Seems to be loads on the web site.

Lucky her, I had a case the first day and had to go back to see if I would be picked again which I wasn't so got away.

Can always just get the train down and leave the car at your closest station if she finds it hard to find parking. I'm sure they will pay for your parking and travel if you take the receipt in with you, or at least they did when I did mine 10 years ago.

Hi, Due a new set of boots, what would people recommend? I have Wellies and walking boots so looking for something with more ankle support to them. Chris
