oowee Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Just found a tin of these. What are they for? I am guessing some sort of fairground gun? Any idea how old? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Boggy Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 I think that they were known as the No.1 garden gun, predecessor of the No.3 (or 9mm) garden gun. Probably quite a collectors item as they are no longer made (I don`t think). OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimfireboy Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Look like No1 bore flobert, they were 6mm/.22 shot, there was also a No2 bore which was 7mm and of course, the No3 9mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floating Chamber Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Little rimfire blackpowder shotshells. Replaced by the .22 shotgun shell. Good for annoying mice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
