mbga9pgf Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 (edited) Just spent a quick 30 mins in next doors field and very happy with the results with my recently purchased IJ-18 (bargain at £40 on gunwatch! The stock need lengthening with something other than speed tape and foam!) This is the first shotgun I have owned and its a good 15 years since I have had a go with a shotty (quick go on a clay range as a youngun with a 20 bore) but very happy with the results (2 out of 3 shells). I am putting 32g no.6 through the gun, which stings a bit as this little single shot doesnt have much weight to it. Was a lovely evening this evening here in Herefordshire to go for a stroll with the gun, very fresh and just goes to show, you dont need to throw significant wedges at the hardware to get something from this sport. Just need a few deeks and a few permissions on crops/roosting sites and hopefully I will be popping pigeons soon (much prefer to shoot stuff I can eat; whilst happy to help out shooting crows, I dont get much pleasure from killing crows although I understand they can be very destructive).

oscarsdad Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 I still have the chunk which I cut off it which has the original but pad on it - PM me your address and I can send it to you - could then pin and glue it back on easily enough.

mbga9pgf Posted December 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 That would be very kind - I could dowel it back into position, having said that, the butt pad you provided works very well too!
