browning123 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 I bought one of these new from Kay's shopping catalogue in 1963 - I paid weekly for it out of my paper-round money, if I remember correctly it cost around £25.00 new. Being only 16 at the time I remember it kicking like a mule using Eley Maximum 5's, but these were the in cartridge at the time, and everybody seemed to use them I remember it being a good gun, it shot many a pheasant, woodpigeon & hare. They are of Spanish Manufacture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
