I would be happy with the same venue but maybe we should set a precedent and let the reigning top pump choose? Shootist, your call ? It all worked fairly well last year with a loose format, we will have to see what others think I think the venue worked very well last year. I do most of my shooting on the other side of the M25 http://www.claypigeonshoot.co.uk/regular-clay-fixtures/essex-shooting-ground-fyfield/ This would be an equally good venue, sporting and skeet. I'm also happy to go further north if anyone has a suggestion. Best dates in November for me are Saturday 17th and Sunday 25th. Again, open to suggestions on dates, although with the Rememberance Sunday weekend and game shooting I'm personally short on time in November.

impala59 Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Does not have to be November, but if we do it again, it should be this year. Lets keep it loose and see if we can sort out a suitable date/venue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Hushpower supplied by Saddlery and Gunroom. I used a barrel extension to fit it. (Edgar Bros do the 1 for the hatsan) Same thread used in the older Webley 812 auto. (must be a Turkish built thing) Adds 10" and makes the gun front heavy. On a plus it helps with swing and is much quieter using subsonic ammo.(re load my own) 32g #4 is good on magpies @ 50 yards 😀 Sounds loud on camera,no ear protection needed though. 28g #7 used here.

Scrumbag Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 That JC Higgins has been kicking around a while. Interesting but I reckon too much for what it is (That and the gun fund is depleted due to buying a Winchestester Model 12 recently :( ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBeaky Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 That is 'kin expensive for a model 20, even allowing for the fact that it is the Power Pac version. My plain-barrel version (newer) was a ton from the Bosher of Wabbits - I fail to see an extra £550-worth here, even if it is pristine and almost unused.

impala59 Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) Very expensive indeed! It’s the same gun as the Squires Bingham, which is, as is the venerable Captains Higgins, a very nice gun indeed! I paid less than £100 for my near mint SB Maybe the collecting of pumps is not going to be so cheap in the future? Hang on to those old clunkers, they may be worth more than you thought 😀 Edited September 18, 2018 by impala59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very pretty gun it’s true and a quality Wingmaster will always command a premium price. Still a little over-priced though IMHO. From a personal perspective I would always rather save a dog than buy a cabinet queen. I actually have a nice, good condition Wingmaster that I am tempted to do a full blue restoration job on. Collecting parts at this time, and looking forward to searching through a friends alladins cave soon for some nice wood 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the DSPS and it took me a good while to find one. I thought I'd over paid for this one and had it RFD transferred up to me and when I went to collect it the shop owner offered me more than I'd paid for it on the spot. As for the Mossberg its a Maveric 88, basically a budget 500 but with the safety in the right place. Really dont know what to get but I keep looking at 1887s and 1897s maybe even a Spas 12 who knows. Ive agreed a sale on the Mossberg and I'm holding it 'til he has the funds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SPAS 12 is a pig of a gun, not living up to its movie image at all. Slow to load, overweight and not really usable at all, It is a gun that entertains everyone but the shooter and the gun that everyone wants to shoot. It would appear to be a good investment as the prices are getting silly now, I wish I'd kept mine, I let it go for silly ( (low) money a few years ago. Early Winchesters are also good investments as they move into becoming antiques (still good shooting too!) 1 hour ago, strimmer_13 said: Anybody seen that franchi in the private sale section? I think I'm in love 😍 The PA8 is the SPAS after a crash diet, losing the auto crud and a great, simple little pump gun, these handle really well. My brother in law had one of these and he was a serious competitor back in the day, he even used it with the original folding stock before the OAL rules came in Edited September 21, 2018 by impala59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opossum Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 I have a SPAS and PA8 in sec2 with fixed metal stocks which I absolutely adore. I also had an 1897 briefly. Get the 1897. If you want to shoot a SPAS 12 you can try mine... then hand it back and feel glad you didn't spend money on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumbag Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 There was ab 1897 in Southams recently. Anyone pick it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
