Zapp Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Guys and gals I have taken the decision that I want to keep my AL391 in as nice a condition as possible, and am going to keep it for the clay ground (which is where most of my shooting takes place), after giving it a clang on a rusty gate the other week :blink: . I have had an old Ugartechea 12g SxS lurking in my cabinet for a while, and have decided that I want to use this for knocking about and hide shooting. The problem is that the gun is currently choked 3/4 3/4, so any birds I shoot come in pre-minced! I want to get it rebored, probably to 1/4 1/2. Has anybody on here had this done lately, if so, what did it cost? Also, are there any gunsmiths in Northants or Beds any members would reccomend? If not, I will simply go through my local gun shop. Any help you can give will be appreciated. ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Norman Clark in Rugby (01788 579651) is an excellent gunsmith ZB. I know it's not Northants/Beds it's not that far and he does come highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppythedog Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 If you can go as far as Radlett, Herts then Ladbrook & Langton are very highly recommended. 01923 854639 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Cheers for the replies guys. I consulted one gunsmith today and was quoted £50 a barrel, which is probably about what the gun is worth... May have to rethink my strategy...
