Oli Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yeah I think so, weather permitting I'm going back tomorrow and will pick it up if I'm happy. Agree with the grade 1 can't really justify the extra money for aesthetics alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northamptonclay Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I have a mk70 grade 5 for sale , only bought it last year but have gone mad on semi autos so its up for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Thanks for the offer/ info but in all honesty the warranty with a new gun is pushing me towards that route, im hoping the shop will be feeling generous and throw in some sweeteners to as I need a slip and cleaning kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Have a good look before parting with the cash a used gd5 would be my preference over a new gd1 fit being equal etc an adjustable comb model would be best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sishyplops Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Oli you won't need a warranty with a miroku, they just don't go wrong and if it ever did they are cheep to fix, I would have a used G5 anyday over a new G1 that you will lose £400 in one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Oli you won't need a warranty with a miroku, they just don't go wrong and if it ever did they are cheep to fix, I would have a used G5 anyday over a new G1 that you will lose £400 in one day I agree a good quality gun like a Miroku/Browning or Beretta will do 100,000 carts with only cleaning and possibly a couple of replacement firing pins (minor bits etc) then a service and some others a good idea (springs etc) they are well supported and parts availability is good. Only thing to watch out for are shot out trap guns that may be 5 years old but doen 100,000+ shots a 10 yearold gun thats fired 20,000 is a better buy (not that they come with a record of shots taken mind!) http://www.guntrader.co.uk/Guns-For-Sale/Miroku_Shotgun_MK-70-Grade-1-Ltd-Universal_For-Sale_120905112950001 http://www.guntrader.co.uk/Guns-For-Sale/Miroku_Shotgun_MK-70-Grade-1_For-Sale_130219161158001 http://www.guntrader.co.uk/Guns-For-Sale/Miroku_Shotgun_MK-70-Grade-5_For-Sale_130301162341001 Edited March 23, 2013 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oli Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Cheers guys, i was uber sensible in the end. Simpsons had a nice second hand mk70 grade 1 in that seemed to fit me really well, so i picked that up along with a cleaning kit, 250 carts, a slip and snap caps to practice with at home all in was just over 1k. So im in the good books at home for not spending too much and for a first gun i think ive got something pretty nice that hasnt been used much and i can learn on. I can always upgrade later if i feel the need.... thanks for all the input from you chaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
