VicW Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 On the spur of the moment I have bought a Nikko shotgun. It is in excellent condition and was a good price. It's a Nikko 2200 trap gun and I know nothing about them. Can anybody give me some idea of their history as a maker and does anyone know how to date them? Thanks in anticipation. Vic.

Daveo26 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I think....... there were made in Japan in the same factory that made the Winchester 101s and some other guns. I believe they are a modified version of the Browning superposed without the action floor trapdoor. They were popular in America. And possibly the ejectors have a habit of splaying out and not ejecting the cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VicW Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Dave and Jinxy, Thanks for that. I bought it from a dealer who is also a gunsmith and it has a 6 month warranty. I'll use it on Wednesday so will soon see what it's like. It worked OK on snapcaps. Vic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSPUK Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 My first real gun was a Nikko 5000 mk2 - very nice gun- discrete engraving on side - assisted opening and was a treat to hold - only one major problem with it - It kicked hell out of my cheek - been a semi auto user now for 20 yrs. A shooter local to me is a Nikko collector - his gem is a new unfired 410 O/U - it was for sale but I couldn't afford it. A most underated gun.

They were popular in America. The action is definitely not Winchester 101 or Browning but one thing I discovered today,quite by accident,is that the ejectors are very easy to remove for cleaning !! Fortunately I was indoors and not in the garage and found all the bits and mantled it !! I am convinced that anything I drop on the floor in the garage is knicked by the bloody big spiders that live in there and taken to spider boot sales. Vic.

Ausgunner Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Hi Vic. Out of curiosity how do you remove the nikko ejectors? I just picked up a winchester 96 xpert which is identical to your nikko mechanically On 13/10/2010 at 05:02, VicW said: The action is definitely not Winchester 101 or Browning but one thing I discovered today,quite by accident,is that the ejectors are very easy to remove for cleaning !!
