Eagleman Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 I was talking to a guy a few days ago who really rates them. He said he'd had his 3 years and has thrown everything at it. The only problem he has had is the occasional (but rare) blown O ring within the gas system but he said it is easy to fix and he takes a spare with him when out.

I had an escort for about 9 months. I used it for crow/pigeon shooting and also fox (using 3"mag) I found no faults as t all with it. I sold it to a mate a few months ago, big mistake. I am going to replace it soon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mry716 Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 They seem fine to me. Bought a 3" and still have it. Also a 3.5" but found it really was better with heavier loads so sold it on. Converted the 3" to 7 shot with bits from importer at reasonable cost (about £22 from memory) and it took a few minutes. The original tube is just screwed in and needs replacing for one that is not crimped, new longer spring and new end cap with extension tube. The mag tube is not pegged but does have a thread compound on the thread to stop it coming loose. I made a clamp out of 2 bits of oak bolted together and it came out easily but be careful not to squash it or tear it at the threads as its very thin. Also, do get your FAC varied before ordering the parts from your local RFD as it will then have to be added to your FAC and taken off your SGC. If you do decide to do it yourself and get into problems PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvoCars Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Ive got a 3" version, been perfect, used loads, never ever given me any trouble, always cycles even when its got odd carts in, cant beat em for the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duster Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 I would recommend the Escort 3" version. Mine has been very well behaved, required no repairs/servicing, never jams, cycles 24g to 50g. Make sure you clean it carefully, you wont go wrong. Cheers Duster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
