Gordon R Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 I still await the photos from the original poster. Put up or shut up - the challenge is there. Where do these people come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Bumped into a friend at shooting this morning, who now shoots with a Miroku Grade 5 Trap Gun. In 2006, he bought a new Krieghoff. He got rid after 43 visits to have it repaired - misfire, not firing bottom barrel, not firing any barrel, plus a lot more. That said, he got more than he paid for it less than a couple of years later. Prices have rocketed from £4k to nearer £10k for that gun. He said he later came across the same gun - it was distinctive, as it had some engraving to cover up a mark on the action - done at the factory. The new owner boasted about the Krieghoff and said that one day my friend might be able to move up from a Miroku to an expensive Krieghoff. He suggested it was something he should aspire to. He got put straight, but was not very graceful about being pulled. I should really have asked his name, as I thought I might know it already. What is it with some owners of expensive guns? Good luck to them - each to his own, but they do not have to stuff it down your throat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaserF3 Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Well, well, well, Here http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewtopic....31&t=229515 are the photo's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Well they are some photo's of the chokes, still no gun. I see that servn99 has gone all quiet, perhaps he has had to go back to school early (we can wish) or maybe he has realised the gun he has bought is **** and cannot face coming back. Either way it can only be a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Blaser F3. M. There is someone else who can tell the difference. He wasn't very scientific - held them in his hand to compare weight and gun balance felt different and then lighter. Nice find though.

BlaserF3 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 His profile is a tad blank on here and on Shotgun World. Never mind though no harm done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 M. I read the text but didn't look at the poster. I nearly fell off my chair - dangerous at my age - when I re-read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Where do these people come from? I could say, but we don't allow interforum bitching here I guess it must be 'give an old thread a home' week this week... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
