Opossum Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 No problem. I'd take any decent safety, left or right handed. My first gun was an old Auto 5... I love it to bits and I'd rather swing that crate-wood crooked-ribbed full choke thing around than my wonderfully fitting 525. I think if I had the guts to put an adjustable comb on my Ithaca I'd be pretty happy though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impala59 Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 I think if I had the guts to put an adjustable comb on my Ithaca I'd be pretty happy though Like this one (not mine, one of the new builds coming out of Ohio) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBeaky Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) I may have missed it. How much is it per clay? How many do we intend to shoot? I've just checked - they charge £9 per 25 clays, irrespective of which discipline you are shooting. Edit: blasted autocorrect!

Well, just the comb adjuster... I'm not greedy! Also, is the pump club meet on the 11th? It's miles away but I'll spend the week thinking about it... I won't win it due to my choice of pump gun... I used the same gun on a work clay shooting team building day and only scraped a win alongside people who'd never shot before Edited November 4, 2017 by Opossum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBeaky Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Yup, still on for 11th - that's one week away... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevethejeep Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Morning Gentlemen, My grateful thanks to Impala for offering me a leftie s/c for one of my 37's, which I may well take him up on. Curiously my newer Deerslayer version absolutely ex-factory, doesn't seen to give me any of the problems my earlier '37 does where I accidentally re-apply the safety especially when dispensing multiple lead down range. When I return home, as still in Devon, and dealt with piles of mail and foot-high grass, I'll get some photos done of both M37's with a view to selling the standard gun .............. so watch this space! May I add my congratulations to Impala for his restoration work and making left handed safety catches 'jolly well done'. I hope you gentlemen have an enjoyable day at Northolt next weekend, the weather is kind and the clays fly slowly!! Look forwards to hearing all about it, Kind Regards, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impala59 Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 From the A40 Polish War Memorial junction head south and Sharvel Lane is on the right after about 1/4 mile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impala59 Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I now have the Model 37 ambidextrous rotating catch working as I wish, the mk 2 being smaller, simpler and stronger. After a few field tests I shall make it in steel (all being well) assembled with sharp edges removed SAFE position FIRE position (right handed) Lever now well out of the way and both sides feel and work well (Forward to fire seems logical to me) The original detent pin keeps the catch positively engaged in either position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
