Guest newarcher1 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 do you remember the first shotgun you bought i bought mine in 1968 it was purchased from a mail order catalouge run by a neighbour it was a coey 12b single barrel hammer as soon as it arrived i went to the post office to buy my licence it cost 10shilling i cant remember how much the gun cost but i am sure it would have been under £20 i saw one in a gun shop the other day the memories came flooding back it claimed a few rabbits sold for a shilling each to a fish and game shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 It was an AYA yoman S/S, secondhand from Entwistle guns in Preston (when they were in the cattle market). I had it from 18 to my early thirties when i sold all my shotguns for a period and stuck with just rifles as i became dogless. To be fair i sort of wish i kept it as i shot well with it (the way you can when a gun realy becomes part of you) and it did all i asked with lead. The other guns i lost at that time were a single barrel BSA snipe 12 bore and an Investarm folding u/o .410 (never missed them a bit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackinbox99 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Old Biakal O/U, bought from a mates dad for 80 quid, wish I never sold it now :( Exactly the same here. Old Baikel O/U 12 bore bought from a dads mate for £100. Had 2 sets of barrels - sporting & skeet. Heavy old thing but it was excellent on the clays. Ended up selling it to a gunshop for £150.

Stratts Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Easy to remember for me coz it was only last year! Baikal O/U for 200 quid mint and it's the only one I've owned!! It hits the things I point it at quite well so I'm happy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
