Gun Watch Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Astra £195 12 gauge Shotgun Private Seller Used - Average Condition Nr GOOLE, East Riding of Yorkshire Side by Side, 3/4 Choke, Full Choke, 28" barrels Description Astra - Spanish made 12g SxS DTNE Right Hand 70mm chambers 28" tubes 15" LOP with red recoil pad Auto Safety Fixed choke 3/4" and Full Lots of colour still on the sideplates and newly checkered. Had this gun serviced with new springs and firing pins, then sent it away to Straightshooter1 for the stock and fore-end refurbishing. Sacha very kindly repaired the splits in the head (Cheaper Spanish sidelocks are prone to this), re-checkered it and tru-oiled all the wood. Downsides - The blueing is getting a little thin in places. The forend has had a cross-bar type repair done (before I got it). There is also another split in the butt where some idiot (not me) tried to force a massive woodscrew in to hold the butt plate on. This has again been repaired again by Sacha, but it's still visible. Just being honest and I've tried to show these up in the photos. Since the service and refurbishment I've put about a dozen cartridges through it, tops! It's very fast and pointable and I've spent a small fortune on it, but since I got my Damascus barrelled E. Harrison it just doesn't get used. Very reluctant sale to fund a 20g O/U. Can be trialled at Park Lodge. Obviously SGC holders ONLY. This gun is being sold by Pigeon Watch member Paul T.
