Looking to sell my old Smith & Wesson semi-auto 12 gauge/bore. In decent condition for its age, and still cycles well. It does require at least 32g cartridges for reliable action, though. A common issue on these was a rubber buffer in the gas mechanism, which would eventually turn to sticky goo… I cleaned up and replaced this with a new one from America several years ago. I bought the S&W from a friend, and have owned it for about five years now. It’s a well-balanced shotgun and makes for enjoyable shooting. Please feel free to contact with any questions. Viewing welcome. Located near Ripon, North Yorkshire.

Used for practical shooting on the occasion, mostly for clays but in all round very good condition. One small nick ontop of the receiver and brass abrasion on the ejection port cleaned after every shoot. Well looked after. Comes with factory Versamax hardcase and plenty of spares I got direct from Remington whilst in the states. I've fitted the enlarged bolt release button. Factory spares are: Spare firing pin firing pin spring cam pin ejector spring, extractor + pin. Still have the interchangeable fibre rib bead, trigger lock and stock shims (not in photo) A really good, reliable gun, perfect for any use Looking for £500 SE London happy to RFD

So I went out this morning with the over and under for a very quick mooch about before the GF wanted to head off to town I popped out the back door and took the first rook out of a nice high beech tree, the other couple took to the air and the next was soon to hit the ground, 2 shots, 2 rooks. The thud of one hitting the shed roof was welcoming as some parts are covered with Perspex sheets, the rest of the day would've been spent fixing it!! I walked off into the field to try and get a better position on the rooks flightline next door, but enroute i saw and took a nice chunky hen pheasant. (This years are still a wee bit too small for my liking). As time was now moving along it was probably best that I made my way back; about to walk around the side of the house, mr rook No3 came in high and straight. Missed with the first, led a tad with the second and yet another thud of a different shed!! A "hair cut, brisket joint and some bones for the dog" later, I tried my luck again, took the next crow from the same high tree as the first. With no sight of any more corvid friends nearby I had to broaden my search and walk to another permission I have, just a 300m walk down the road to a farm shed where they usually sit about. For reference, these roads are in the middle of no where, very rural and rarely and cars use it, single track etc. About 30m before the farm lane i hear a car pull out of the turning behind and stops, reverses and then drives my way. I turn around and it's the blues and twos. I'm the most straight up kinda guy but it put the fear of god into me when your looking at a police officer holding a 12ga!!!! He asked to see my licence and checked it over thoroughly before asking what I was shooting, I said that I was shooting rooks as they were causing damage to the farmers crops where I was heading and they effect the lambs. He said that it needs to be classed as significant crop damage etc to be allowed. He checked the ammo I was using making sure it was modified into slugs or anything suspicious. Turns out he's working closely with the Environment Agency in a current join operation to catch poachers in the area. I tried to help as much as I could and pointed him in the right direction of where they usually operate and we ended on a good note. He did say i really should put it in a sling whilst carrying it on the road, which im definately going to do now!! Just a tad scary when he pulled up at first, having never been stopped before, for anything by a police officer!!! I returned home after a fruitless session at the farm shed and walked up through the small wood next door. A few squirrels later and as darkness approached it was time to call it a day. 4 rooks, 3 squirrels, 1 pheasant, and a police interrogation later it's been a good mixed bag!! Happy hunting
