Guest stevo Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) As per title . I have just picked up a new A300 . I some members have had one for a while . Just wondering what your views are . I bought it for a pure pigeon/hide gun . 28 " 3 shot . Black synthetic . must admit I was amazed at how fast it felt . Hoping to give it a go this weekend . regards stevo Edited October 15, 2013 by stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruity Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Had mine about 4 weeks or so and been well pleased with it, I also have the 28" synthetic Unfortunatly it has gone in for some warranty work , so just waiting for the return and can get back out with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legohead Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hi there, I picked my new A300 up yesterday from Greenfields in Salisbury, very impressed with the service and the price (£780). I also managed to get a 1/4 Beretta mobilchoke for £16 so well pleased. Overall the quality and finish are very good, I had a 303 many years age which always behaved well and accounted for many pigeon. I only have one concern at this stage regarding the 'Elastic piston seal' which is actually a serrated split metal ring, it did feel very tight when I put it into the receiving chamber and allowed for little movement. I thought it it would be looser but looking at comments on the web it's supposed to be tight to clean the walls of the chamber! Anyway Im looking forward to giving it a try later today.

fruity Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 What sort of work if you dont mind me asking . Should I be worried haha stevo Hopefully its a rare occurance , but a gun smith has checked mine before returning to gmk and has said the chrome lining is coming away from the inside of the barrel , so gmk said they will replace once they have confirmed this Then I'm back in business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
