Does anyone out there know what these two tiny nodules are on the brass of a Lyalvale English Sporter 12 cartridge? Curiously, I have other batches of English Sporters that do not have them and they look too clean to be a deformation. I probably would not have noticed it, but they would not fit into the chamber of my Greener GP. Looking at other cartridges I've used, none of those have it. english sporter cartridge.mp4

I'm toying with the idea of selling My 30" Manufrance Falcor, it is the fixed rib and standard stock height model rather than the less desirable adjustable rib with monte carlo stock, has a beautiful walnut stock with fantastic contrasting grain. The gun has just had a re-blue of the action along with a service in December 2022 and a stock re-finish, gun has not been shot since the service as the stock has been in for the re-finish and me not having the time to get out. Chokes are Improved Cylinder and 1/4 with 2 3/4" Chambers, a different alternative to a Beretta or Browning that is rarely seen, the gun has a sliding top latch lock up, similar to Krieghoff with a subtle boarder engraving, pictures are of the stock during re-finish, the action after being returned from service/re-blue and the gun in full prior to the work carried out, LOP is approximatly 14 3/4" Has a wide Rib with mid rib and white front bead, has been a fantastic gun and served me well on pigeons, game days and clay, is a wonderful all round gun I just don't have the time any more. Price is £1950 but I am open to offers, the case would not come with the gun, send me a message for any more pictures, Can RFD Transfer if needed.

Hi have a greener sxs shotgun SN 73508 and need to find out the date of manufacture thanks joe

Hi all. Quick enquiry to gauge opinion on the following 'dilemma'. Recently granted my SGC and looking to make my first purchase. After a visit to my local RFD, I have given myself a choice of EITHER a second-hand Beretta A400 Lite (black synthetic) OR new Beretta A300, same finish. With the new gun (at a price of £915) there's a three year warranty (option of 10 years for a £50 fee to Beretta) and 3 chokes. With the used gun (at a price of £995) there's a three month warranty and 3 chokes. To most, and to an extent to me too, that looks like a no-brainer of a decision. But, I seek the views of more experienced shooters and Beretta owners please. The RFD lists the A400 as being in good condition and having had light usage. My eyes can see that indeed it does look in good condition, but not so easy to determine previous use. (It has that kind of GunPod feature that claims to count every round put through it, but perhaps that info is on an app in the possession of the previous owner.) It also has that Kick-Off recoil technology in the butt. For a fee I secured it for a demonstration and put 51 shots through it. It jammed 3 times in that session which could have been due to the design of the budget cartridges provided at the clay centre. Direct comparison with A300 not possible as no demonstrators available. I don't want to exceed a budget of £1k (still got peripherals to consider on top), and I'd prefer a (fairly) low-maintenance gun that may have better appeal to a used market if/when I upgrade or if I find I'm not involved enough to justify possession. Going for a synthetic stock as I found I got a bit precious about a nice wooden stock on a Theoben air-rifle I had and I don't want to amplify that on an expensive shotgun. If budget allows further down the road in life, I may look at that option then. So, is the A400 so far superior to the A300 that it's worth the trade-off, or am I really not gonna notice the difference? Usage will be purely for clays with, perhaps, a very slim chance that coastal water-fowling opportunities will come my way. It may well be that in the time taken to decide, the A400 sells to another buyer and this whole post becomes moot...or rhetorical...but I'd rather make an informed decision, see? My own internet research has, thus far, proved inconclusive. Thank you for taking the time to at least read this.

Hi All, Admins, I hope this is fine. I do have my Shotgun License. I'm after a double barrell shotgun, either SxS or U/O to work on as a project. Something I can restore. I've got great ideas to shou-sugi-ban (Japanese charred wood technique) the stock and foreend and completely sand and re-blue or some funky finish on the barrels and action. Complete strip down, service and re-assemble. If anyone's got a gun to give away that might be a good fit do let me know. Regards, Fran See an images below of what I'm thinking of doing with the woodwork. https://resawntimberco.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/tora-shou-sugi-ban2.jpg

Got 246 Fiocchi Pigeon 32 cartridges which I'd like to swap for a similar pigeon cartridge e.g pigeon select, (new) clear pigeon There a great cartridge and had some decent kills with them but through my O/U seem to knock the out of me so if anyone around Sheffield area would like to swap either the lot or just a few boxes for similar that'd be great. If not, looks like I'll have to man up and get them shot Got to put a price on them so £60. Cheers, Spower
