spence Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 OK, sorry for a number of “what gun” post but I’m after your advice and thoughts on what I’m looking at. Thanks Winchester 6500 30” MC for £595. Tidy looking gun and feel good in the hand. The catch, being advertised as a Sporter but on inspection I noticed the faint engraving on the barrels “Trap”. Then told by the dealer, ah it’s had the comb lowered to make it a sporter. So questions. Any thoughts on the Winchester as gun and the conversion? This is the second Sportorisation I’ve seen this weekend (see other post), is it common? Ta. S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlaserF3 Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 The conversion is just taking a bit off the comb, not to worry about as long as it's OK for you. Just remember that it's and old gun and bit's are not easy to come by. http://www.trulockandharris.com/reviews/wi...r_model_101.htm I would rather have a used Miroku.
