Highbird70 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Dear Sirs, For many moons I was looking for something, that I felt missing in my life, you try many, sometime you break with them or you just let them go, but then when you find the right one, stick with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highbird70 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Sirs/Madams The gun it's now in the capable hands of Bunnybasha, for a safety check and service, should return next week hopefully, so that I can give it a try, it will be use for Woodcock shooting, when I will learn to walk and use it in a safe manner, due to no safety fitted on the gun. I really think it would be nice to take her out on the regal quarry (Scolopax Rusticola) and to miss many, as I normally do, as I always say, I am happy when I miss, I know weird eh, but I think to myself, you did have your chance, now enjoy seeing a lovely bird flying happily away. very nice mark.. Ty Rich, the day that we meet for a little walk about, I hope you don't mind if I take the old girl with us ATB MArk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highbird70 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Dear Sirs, Thank you for all the comments, I will be honest with you, its not a very expensive gun, due to the fact, that its not a English made gun, I could not afford to buy a genuine, not restored, nor resleeved or else, I was advise by 1 or 2 forum members, to what to look for when buying a hammer gun, this fitted the bill.
