Evilv Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Just looking at cartridge availability. I've never had a gun with shorter chambers than 2 and 3/4. A millimetre / inch conversion suggests that 2 and 1/2 inches equals 63.5mm. There are plenty of 67mm cartridges in 12 bore and only Churchill seem to do 65mm. Are 67mm cartridges ok in a 2 and 1/2 inch chamber? Sorry if this is a naive question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Not a silly question. There's is a thread on this very subject. In short yes. Many 67 mm are fine for 65 mm. Check the box. I know my eley pigeon 67mm say they are fine for a 65mm chamber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilv Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Thanks. That suggests there is plenty of choice of cartridges then. I'll go and look for that thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redial Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 When I had a 21/2 inch chamber. I used Express Pigeon Special 30gm. Case 65mm. Game birds don't know the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabbitbosher Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Has it been restocked. Not sure if it has or hasn't been restocked, if it has it's been done exceptionally well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a silly question at all , I've only ever shot game with English 2 1/2 inch chambered guns , 65 mm or 67 mm are fine I've never had a problem getting cartridges, you just have to be sure you don't go shooting with a pocket full of 70 mm cartridges by mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holloway Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Not sure if it has or hasn't been restocked, if it has it's been done exceptionally well They usually matched the fore end wood to the stock the third picture is fairly clear. I would much rather have a well fitted replacement stock like that one than an over oiled rotten one that it may have had,.... the gun will go on for years beyond most of us.

Mr.C Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) I'm using the 28g fibers on clays though they're also available in 21g for the more mechanically sympathetic. So yes they are, didnt read previous post properly Edited November 23, 2016 by Mr.C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
