😆 My Baikal actually did Just wear out. When the action was opened it half closed again and extracting the spent cartridges was difficult without holding the barrels and the stock open. There were other issues. I took it to a gunsmith who said it was not worth the cost of the repairs. I did buy a cheap SXS but it is choked 1/2 and a tight 3/4.! Too much of a challenge for me. I really need 1/4 & 1/2.

Or me. I can pick up Monday. -
D’oh! everyone with anything I need, lives too far from Maidstone. I know you say "collection only" but I could use the Webley case. Anyone from Kent going to South Wales next week?

Surprised no one has snapped this up yet. Just a bit too far from Maidstone for me to nip out without the wife knowing what I'm up to. -
Hi. I had a look. "BIRCHWOOD CASEY T&S BERETTA A400 XCEL SHELL CATCHER" I is only for one cartridge so useless if you are using two or more at the same time. It is also £32.90 +post. I experimented with an electromagnet. But by the time you have a powerful enough magnet and a battery wired to an on off switch it's much easier to pretend you have a bad back and get your shooting partner to puck up for you. 🤡

Update. Last night while investigating the Ejector problem, the ejector mechanism in the forfend jammed ! So I took the gun back today😒 Thank you to all of you who offered advise. My project has failed at the first hurdle but as they say "Lessons have been learned" Cheap guns are nothing but trouble.

Thank you to everyone. Lots of useful information. This project is a bit like gambling. Dont bet more than you can afford to lose. This is something I have wanted to do for...40 years but never had the time or nerve. If it all goes south, so be it. I have discovered that the other Ejector is binding and jamming the one that is damage. So I am investigating why. As I say, if it all goes terribly wrong it is not the end of the Earth. I have taken onboard lots of your suggestions and will hope to try re bluing, chequering and stock refinishing. If it ever all comes together I will post it here. ( But dont hold your breath) Thank you all.

Hi. I have been a member of Pigeon watch for many years and have enjoyed the content greatly. However, I have never had a lot to say, and my knowledge of Guns and shooting are minimal, so I don’t comment. I only shoot clays but have owned many different guns both O/U Semi-auto and S/S. Now I need help please. Today I purchased an old generic shop named Spanish S/S for only £95. I thought it could be a project for the winter. I have never had a gun to pieces before and have already hit a couple of snags. One of the Ejectors is damaged and I either need to repair it or renew it. Are the Ejectors on old cheap Spanish guns interchangeable and where can I source one from? The bores are ok, but the chambers are a bit rusty. I have whizzed a bronze brush around, and the rust is cleaning off but is there a compound I can safely use to help clean the rust off? I want to strip it down but cannot get the action off the stock. I could grind a screwdriver down to fit he screws I suppose but is there a generic screwdriver I can buy to do the job as all my screwdrivers are too thick for the slot or too narrow to fill the slot and give a good purchase. This is probably a one-time restoration, but I would like to bring this old gun up to a decent standard instead of turn it into a large paperweight. Any help or information would be appreciated except for (Don’t do It )as I have already started🤡
