-oXo- Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 (edited) Well I guess when you buy a gun from someone far away you really should have a good look at it before you go out to use it because you never know what you might find. (Even if it is on this forum) I thought I would give this a good clean before I used it and when I opened the mag screw I wondered what the thing was in the mag tube. Once stripped I found a nice cartridge rolled up in gaffa tape where the magazine plug should be and also a washer where the magazine spring retainer should be. Good old home gun smithing... Guess I shall have to go source the parts. The bung.. Edited September 23, 2012 by -oXo- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillmouse Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Suppose it could have been a live one. Buyer beware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSPUK Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 I see it's a Remmy so it probably fell apart and remembering my day's with one 15yrs ago part's were expensive if you could get them. At least mag tube is still on - they had a habit of coming out. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-oXo- Posted September 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 But you did not say how much you paid for the gun £25 you still got a bargain £500 you got had. The average price for a used remmy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSPUK Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 £200 - you could get that back in spares !! dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-oXo- Posted September 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 I wasn't complaining as such. Just ****** of the dealer failed to mention the mag tube was botched up with an old cartridge and gaffa tape. Back to googling for a part supplier. Anyone know one?

So you've now got a FAC shotgun, not on ticket? I didn't say the crimp was removed from the mag tube? I'm confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
