chesterse Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Classic gun, don't expect the same soft shooting properties of modern gas operated autos. I have one which my father in law bought second hand in 1959, have shot thousands of pigeons with it - full choke. You don't have to be precious with them, they will stand a lot of abuse. Price sounds OK for one in really good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K no botha al mention it to the lad when i have a look at the t'other one and al see what condition its in well i got the one for £175 to look at and took it up for my gamekeeper mate to have a look at it this evening, as things happened i did'nt get a chance to try it out on the clays but he says it looks like its had very little use or its been someones pride and joy coz it looked alot better than he thought it would. We did manage to put a few shots through it to check it was cycling the carts and it did as fast as i could pull the trigger that was with 28gram and 32grams loads we patterned it aswell and out to 30yrds with 32grm 6's it seemed a nice pattern well thats what ma marra said and he's been shooting for years and years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
