alros01 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 have you had one of the new models fanboy if so what went wrong with your gun thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 have you had one of the new models fanboy if so what went wrong with your gun thanks No I had more sense than to buy one , my friend has two both will always have a few jams when we are shooting , he also came close to losing the top of his thumb when the bolt decided to close itself leaving a nasty gash They are what they are a cheap gun , some people say they have no problems plenty say they do . My opinion is you cannot make a decent long lasting gun for the price escorts are sold for by the time the maker , the importer and the retailer have made a few quid it leaves very little for quality materials . There are plenty of 30 year old berettas , remingtons etc still going strong , I very much doubt there will many escorts . Just my opinion and if your happy with one that is all that matters.

Dont forget the govt, take 20% vat and 5% import duty off the RRP the proof cost, the dealer profit, importer profit, manufacturer profit and overheads shipping etc and you have £70 of steel and wood.....

fenboy Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Really , £70 I cannot believe its that much ! How could I miss the governments pound of flesh . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
