theshootist Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Maybe, but some of us are quite fond of these ol' guns. You may already know this and I admit that I tend to harp on about it, but before you take it to bits, please read the manual - you take the stock off *before* taking out the trigger plate screw. Have fun with your new "baby". Regards, Mark. Sorry Mark, I wasn't being flippant. Its just that this is not a sparkling time warp example, that's all. I will leave it as is. I love interesting older guns, especially ones that don't cost the earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAoS Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) Sorry Mark, I wasn't being flippant.I wasn't being serious. (Well, maybe just a *little*...) Its just that this is not a sparkling time warp example, that's all.Yeah, *I* have one like that. With hindsight, I shouldn't have bought "sight unseen". :( I will leave it as is. Oh, well *done*, that man. I love interesting older guns, especially ones that don't cost the earth.Same here. Regards, Mark.

Still considering the Winchester SXP for £350 or the Slugster for £200. So many options........so little money !! Bah humbug !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorely tempted but want to know if this thing would be any good for shooting pigeons ? advice please Pump Clubbers I thought the Slugster had a rifled bore? thats going to play havoc with your shot pattern. I've got my old 500 you can have for £150, it is sec 1 so you'd need to get it strangled and proofed to sec 2, might be an option for you. I've got some synthetic furniture for it also.

Danoi99 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Bloomin eck !! How much would it cost to get the beast strangled ? and can it be un-strangled when I choose to get an FAC ? In relation to the Slugster........the bloke says it aint got a rifled barrel........it's just 24 inches long, with no choke !! Is he telling porkies d'you think ?? I would be interested in buying yer gun matey........and yer furniture. Perhaps I should go for the old F.A.C after all eh ?? My mate has permission to shoot on 6 farms and I always go with him........he asks me to go and reccy them as I live closer.........I said could he ask the farmer to give me written permission so I can do the hedgerow thang while I'm out and about? My so called mate said "No way man, that's MY permission.........you go get your own!! " I am close to falling out with my so called mate. What a prize *** eh ? I could get FAC for pest control on all permissions...........but thanks to my " mate" that aint happening.......he won't even give me the farmers address ??!!!

Depends on your RFD for cost, luckily my RFD does MOD, general military, deacs etc so things like proofing cost something like £18 as they send away in large batches, strangling maybe £20-£30 at a guess. To un-strangle you'd knock the crimp out with a tapered rod or get a new mag tube. Have you seen pics of mateys slugster? Does it have rifle sights or a rib? Personally I wouldnt be bothered by having a cylinder choke, I shoot a fixed skeet choke at the moment and do as well as my bro who has the fancy pants multi choke Personally I think the whole choke thing is a bit over rated.

theshootist Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Is that £18 for the actual work to do the restriction only? Does it then have to go to proof? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepasty Posted September 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 £18 is to have it proofed not strangled and yes it needs to be proofed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theshootist Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 £18 is to have it proofed not strangled and yes it needs to be proofed. Ouch in that case I was completely ripped off when I had my BPS restricted and proofed. I paid about £130 all in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxbasher Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 no worries mate, i was looking at them on evilbay the other day and the cheapest i could find one was £34. planning another trip to the states next year so may draw up pump gun shopping list. did you have it mounted via the screw fixings? a lot of users fix them via heavy duty self adhesive velcro, this gives you a little more room to position them and their easier to take on and off. i was going to fit one to my mossberg this way as i didnt want to do-away with the drift pin holding the trigger assembily for easy cleaning/stripdown. steve.

kiffy Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 theres a massive difference in costs over there, my stock was well under half price on american websites compared to midway uk's website. yeh mine was screwed on, the trigger assembley fixings come out and screws go through and into the carrier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
