samadams21 Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 My first ever bag. When I was 18! Sadly 2 years on after this picture I had to give up my SCG and FAC and moved completely away from the shooting world. As of this year and with new permissions I’m moving closer and closer back into the shooting world and will be applying for my SGC once again very soon.

Flyboy1950 Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Indeed, welcome back. My first bag was 51 years ago, a wood pigeon as it happens. I had just purchased my 1st 12 bore single barrel Baikal for £12.00. I don`t know who was more surprised, the woodie or me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your gun was good money 51 years ago Flyboy , about the only thing that have come down in price in the last 51 years At the auction we had in March the singles were making £8 /£10 , what a shame when you think at one time that £10 gun was someones pride and joy , sign of the times as no one want them nowadays .

London Best Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 My first shotgun was a Belgian single folding .410 that Dad bought me for £2 from a junk shop. That would be 1961 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
