jeffjjack Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Thanks for the reply neil, it does look good and I am interested... will have to look into if there any local events to go and have a look. Just out of interest is it predominantly 12g or can someone run a 20g for instance.... is there a ruling that says 12g or as long as you knock down the targets and the gun meets the division requirements you're ok?

Cyrus1988 Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Hey guys, just picked up my first pump, will try get a photo up soon. I've only ever had an o/u so not really sure how to clean a pump, what do you guys do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Hi Jeff 12 bore dominates of course but you are good to go with a 20 if you prefer. The only real issue is finding suitable slug & buckshot rounds for the 20 here in the UK. But if you home load then even that can be overcome. As you say all (steel) targets must fall to score & the gun must comply with divisional restrictions, most club level shoots are fairly relaxed & the fun factor is high !

Breastman Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Great photo's Neil, looks a lot of fun. Would like a crack at it but no local facility. Yeah you're pretty much knackered in Scotland for PSG, neither F4i or the UKPSA caters well for us up North. The closest club to you would be Galloway Small Arms Club at Crocketford near Dumfries. Theres a guy on here called Saddler trying to get some matches put on at a club near Dunfermline but that's still probably going to be a bit of a trek for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil smith Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 neither F4i or the UKPSA caters well for us up North. Mark Like the UKPSA, F4i relies on clubs willing to host matches at their ranges, the fact that no clubs from Scotland have come forward to do so would be the main reason, we would love to have some scotish clubs on board, I would like a good excuse to head up there. F4i is a not for profit organisation & puts any money it collects back into the sport or to charity, unlike the UKPSA who have been obsessed with building up a war chest of cash for years, that they are only to happy to offer in brown envelopes as so called "incentives" when it suits them.

Breastman Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 How they run their ship is up to them, i'm in it for pulling triggers, not strings! As long as they're the only organisation that has secured putting on matches in the North they've got my support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been in touch with Saddler but it does not seem like an option. Like you say its a long way so visits would be limited to half a dozen a year or so. You never know something might come up.

theshootist Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Its a S2 take down too. As I understand, (from talking to Mick Shepherd) the London proof house will not proof a take down gun as S2 without the take down being pinned (as they say its a detachable magazine), but the Birmingham proof house will accept the restricted mag as part of the barrel assembly and allow the take down facilty to be retained. The mag restricted on this one was Birmingham proofed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
