Brand new unused Briley extended bolt handle to fit a browning Maxus. Cost £45 new. £30 posted. PM for details. Cheers

Not if you have a herniated set of discs in your neck it doesn’t. This is the predicament I find myself in. A serious neck injury caused in one of the lovely sandy places I have found myself in the last 15 years means I’m only able to shoot my O&U for 25 carts max. My Auto allows me to continue to enjoy shooting for years to come.....hopefully.

My gaffer went to the wergs a few week back.

It wasn’t until my Mrs was getting her FEO visit and obviously I was present, he looked at me and said “ No more secret guns for you mate”. She has access to the cabinet now so she knows precisely what I have and has spent the last few months looking at prices on line, gradually working out how much I have spent. When good ideas go bad! One if my blokes at my last job had a row with his Mrs and went out into Limassol on a post row bender and blew 5k in one night on roulette and hookers. Come the following morning he was in my office asking for advice on what to do.....fess up to the Mrs.....run the gauntlet.

I found this place recently and What a nice place to shoot clays it is. Not the largest selection of sporting but the DTL and Skeet set up is very nice indeed. The cafe is a no nonsense affair where double egg, double sauce and chips comes for a couple of pounds. It has Bradley’s angling and guns on site which has a couple of small cabinets of guns but he keeps at least one of the majority of the ATA range in stock and a nice bloke to boot. A 100 bird shoot is £26. Don’t get me wrong this is not WMSG level of shooting but if your after a nice afternoon out that won’t break the bank then it fits the bill.

I have an affinity and a Maxus and apart from the ease of cleaning the affinity vs the noticeable lower recoil of the maxus I can’t tell any difference in bores, but then again I’m just an average shot. If Franchi sold a high grade affinity with a nice bit of timber on it, I would definitely order another.

I have had three of them, never missed a beat. My mate has two, his have had literally thousands of carts through them and apart from a split seal, again they have stood up to the test. They are not the nicest to look at but as far as value for money goes you can’t fault them. Shop around for the best prices as there seems to be a huge variation depending on where they are purchased.

Thanks Snoozer, Didn't see the post as I spent the evening looking after a very sick little girl. Cheers buddy👍

Cheers buddy. One now sold.

That’s the one.

I have two browning clay buster slips, both used 3 times ( one was mine the other the Mrs ). Selling as I have been given a pair of leather slips. I paid £50 each for them. Unmarked and in as new condition. £45 for the pair plus P&P which is about £3.50 Or £25 each plus P&P PM for details or Photos. Cheers.

I’m with you there, I’m just not consistent at all and can’t work out why. A friend and I went down to mill ride a few weeks back and we just couldn’t miss. We mixed up the lot as it was very quiet, did some DTL, Skeet, sporting and even managed some convincing breaks on the vertical teal, left feeling good. Went back a few days later, not changed a thing on the guns, couldn’t hit anything....both of us.

I handled one of those a few weeks back at Ian Cooleys. I have not paid that much attention to CG, they always looked the business in the racks. I have to say it’s an astonishing bit of kit for the money, and that seems to be the general theme for CG.

Well, that appears to be the case. The Mrs has just bought herself the Junior version and my boy has ordered the Supersport. The cabinet will be full of them.

All three now sold. Many Thanks.

Lost a full set of Teague Invector plus Chokes a few weeks back so purchased another set. The first two were returned last week followed by three more this week so I’m selling the new ones. They have had no more than 100 carts through them. Skeet, 1/4 and 3/8 for sale. £55 For the lot or £20 each plus postage which is £2. PM for any other details. Cheers.

You were right I’m not. After deciding not to buy it I latterly changed my mind and bought it. Whacked 150 carts through it and I can’t fault it so far. Ordered another for the Mrs ( junior stock version ) which will be here this week. I’m going to use it exclusively throughout the winter and keep the maxus in the cabinet unless my neck starts playing up again. I tend to go out 3/4 times a month and do between 150/200 each time, come spring it should have about 4K through it. Hopefully it will hold up a bit better than my 525 that spent more time with the RFD than in my possession over a 6 month period.

Cheers GG Items now sold.

No, the maxus is a gas gun.

Still for sale.

Two Teague invector plus extended chokes. 3 months old, had about 250 carts through them. One Skeet, One quarter. Purchased to replace ones that were lost on a clay day which have since been found. Paid £42.50 each new, the pair for £35 plus postage (about £1.50 ). Please pm me for photos/ further details. Cheers

Yes, it needs the piston seal. Give Edgar’s a bell, they will ask you for the serial No and identify the particular model. The new ones come with spares, if memory serves they are a couple of quid.
