webber Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 This gun has been around for a while now, although I have not yet seen one in the flesh. I also remember thinking that it was seriously over priced. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 The Italian 'Cosmi' break-open semi-automatic has been around for decades, although the Cosmi, like the Beretta, is as rare as rocking horse manure. I saw a couple crop up at Holt's auctions over the last few years, and they all went for several thousand pounds.

08shooter Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 the gun has been halte and held back due to cycling issues,would nt matter when it came its out of my price range :blink: nice lookiing bit of kit though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeboy Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 The gun has been around for at least a couple of years. I saw a review of it in one of the mags and as I remember he rated it quite highly. I have however never seen one and I have heard there were some technical issues. As well as the price issue !

Oly Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Would be perfect if it were downward ejecting like the new browning too...if the price tag was right too of course!! :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeboy Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Would be perfect if it were downward ejecting like the new browning too...if the price tag was right too of course!! :blink: Agreed ! I really like the idea of the downward ejection, it would make life much easier when it comes to picking up spent shells. I didn't know there was a new browning with bottom ejection, I'll have a look at that. I know that the Remington 105 CTI has had a lot of problems that I dont think have been totally sorted yet and it is apparently very cartridge fussy. Its a shame as it is a nice looking gun and feels good in the shoulder. Leeboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 It is downward ejecting, the cartridge on the side is the unfired one in the magazine. Perfect compromise for pheasant shoots :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tikkamark Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I didnt realise it was out a while now :blink: If it is only a two shot then there is no point in it really maybe just strictly for clays.At that kind of money cant see to many selling :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floating Chamber Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 The Cosmi has been around for nearly 50 years! It is mentioned on page 131 in the 1958 copy of Richard Arnold's book: 'Automatic and Repeating Shotguns'. In 1958 they cost £360 compared to £450 for a new Mini the following year! That was a lot of money! Fags were 15p (equiv.) for 20! and Yellow Wizard Shells were 12/6d for 25 (62p full rec retail!) Purchase Tax was 33%!
