GingerCat Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Quick question, I'm going to look at one of these tomorrow, price seems good, the question is is there anything in particular I need to look for.? Any one shot one ? Thoughts? Its 3inch 12 bore, are they ok with steel on occasion. Mainly pigeons and clays but the odd duck should it fly over. Comments apppreciated.

fenboy Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Good guns but it will not be proofed for steel I am afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mat Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 You'll be able to put some steel through it. Neither of my guns are steel proofed and i use steel in both with no ill effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mat Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Thanks for the tip off , don't stand next to you!!! Lol There is nothing dangerous about shooting steel through non steel proofed guns. "Steel proof" is nowt special other than being proofed at a high pressure. All cartridges that i use produce pressures that are safe for the guns, i have checked with a highly regarded gunsmith on the matter.

GingerCat Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Bought it, not a mark on it, perfect condition, cased with 4 chokes. Very happy. Don't think it has done much work at all from appearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
