Walker570 Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 If we do need a new law regarding shotguns then one that should be invoked is the original understood colour code. Red 12 Blue 16 orange/brown 28 and brown 410. I believe it could be upgraded to make the 410s green as the two colours for 28/410 are too similar. Now having said that then all of the suggestions above I agree with. UNLESS as sometimes but rarely happens one gun breaks down and another has to be used and sometimes on a different gauge is available. Then bags and pockets should be cleared out.

Sorry, I wasn’t referring to the blowing down my barrels bit, although I’m pretty sure the next cartridges fired would take care of any moisture in the barrels. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) ...... but not in the workings. That's something from the days of Tom Mix and Roy Rogers. Almost like seeing a gun mount and remount his shotgun when he/she reaches their peg. A bit too late to see if it fits or the fancy coloured front sight is still there.

I tend not to worry too much about the ' workings' ; following such weather WD takes care of it. It has done for all the years I've been shooting. 🙂 I have no idea why some blow down their barrels before leaving a stand or peg; it's not something I've seen anyone do between reloads.

I only do it if I cannot see through the barrel, I don't bother any other time. And it is only a safety thing, not a Roy Rogers thing🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I reach my peg on the first drive of the day I do dry mount once or twice. This is not to test whether my gun fits, because I know it does, but it is just to test whether I have tucked my shirt too far into my underpants.

I didn’t make any comment regarding Roy Rodgers, Pistol Pete or anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that it’s all systems go! 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog1408 Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 I thought ALL conscientious guns did a practice mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know why some do it now, having mentioned it to a mate just last night, who told me he did it so there weren’t hot gases circulating in his slip ( we usually slip our guns before moving into the next stand or peg ) causing condensation. Each to their own. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
