Wildfowler325 Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Hello, As i recently purchased a new semiauto and my gunslip iv been using dosn't fit. My old auto was 3" chamber and my new one is 3 1/2" chambered plus the addition of a extended choke mean it dosnt fit in my current gunslip. What slip you guys recommend for fowling that will fit a 3 1/2" auto. I measured the gun with the choke and is just under 52" so would need a 52 or 54" gunslip The gun is a Remington VersaMax with 28" barrels with Kicks HighFlyer choke. Many Thanks WF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerbyshireDale. Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Take the choke out when you've finished flighting and use your old bag?...other than that choose any that you can just wash down as they only get wet through and covered in mud! atb...Dale.

figgy Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Get a 54" if you can, I don't worry about getting mine filthy as the gun don't stay in it. Only for to and from marsh. Friend has bought a 32" barrelled semi auto and can't get a slip for it,57" in length muzzle to but pad. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdsallpl Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Cheapest waterproof slip you can get that the gun fits in. If anything like mine it will be covered in mud first morning out. I don't even bring my wildfowling slips in doors. Straight in the garage and hung up to dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakin stevens Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 tide pool does some good ones, I know it's not everybody's cup of tea having more camo,but them floating slips are bang on for the money, as above mine goes straight in the garage to dry.

Richie10 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 It dosnt fit with the choke out Buy a bigger one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Kelly Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Anything long enough with a full length zip. You need to be able to open it right up to dry out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what you want. Good call, when it gets really knackered up just buy another and sling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry P Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 My wife got me one of these for fathers day, no zips and totally washable, also has a full length pocket which I will use for carrying hide poles and another pocket for what ever. Quality looks good. http://www.tidepool.co.uk/accessories/gun-slips/avery-mud-case-kw-1-gunslip-detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Firstly forget zippers then forget fleece linings the first will corrode and generally seize up the other takes on SALT water like a sponge , after that get one you can chuck in the washer and remove all salts/sand etc. Like many have said they are a hang out in the garage type of item. I have a ducks unlimited one that folds into a handy seat though rarely use it as such it has come in handy sitting on sharp rocks and the like I cant advice removing chokes from a gun straight after fowling and putting it in a shorter slip as you risk contaminating the threads with sand / salt giving you another job to do at home after. Shooting on the mud often means laying the slip out then putting the gun down onto it, with an auto this is done port upwards, so its likely to get wet and muddy on the outside The inside of the bag will also get soaked as the tide gets a little close etc., biggest thing then is the drive home with the gun in the slip. Try to get it out the slip OR I keep a napier sock that I can put on the gun before it goes in the slip. Gun out both in the wash when I get home, gun cleaned as usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I use two forked sticks as gun rests when out on the marsh, saves it coming into contact with mud/sand.

Yes it depends were I am Sat up to my waist in water laying the gun out insnt good! I also often ram my thumbstick / wading staff in the ground and rest the barrels in that, on evening flight I really have to keep hold with finger off the trigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
