flippermaj Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 I have been looking on line at these two but can't find much info about the models. I know some of the Zabalas were quite heavy, 8 pounds plus but I don't know if that applies to this model? Any one own one or had one in the past? ZABALA HERMANOS 12-BORE (3IN.) 'MERCURY MAGNUM MODEL 6-1228' BOXLOCK NON-EJECTOR, serial no. 60076, The other one is this LAURONA 12-BORE (3IN.) BOXLOCK NON-EJECTOR, serial no. 165271 any idea on its weight or what they are like? Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flippermaj Posted January 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Hi Boyd, would love an AYA No 3 mag but the only one at the local gun shop is very rough and £395! Ladds in Devon have a Berri lux but £450, local guy has a Yiliditz 3.5 wildfowler SxS but asking £600! I am just too tight! Can get the above guns on Holts unsold lots for pennies and they are coming up here in the next few weeks for a valuation day so would have no RFD transfer charges. Haven't seen many of your posts this season. I hope you and Connor have been out and about a bit and no doubt with some success?

Cheers Mark Hi Mark Conor joined a new ( to him ) Foreshore Club so we have spent a lot of time on the shore a Big Thanks to a well known PW member he soon had his first Pink ( he has shot a lot from other places ) from the new Club unfortunately due his and my club rules we can't due Wright ups. Goose wise we both have shot more than our share. Conor had his first Rutting Fallow Buck ( shot 3 in total ) in October again he's shot a lot of Fallow Roe CWD and Muntjac ( Gold being the best ) taken him out Saturday morning to try for his first Whitefront only 17 in with or was with Pink's fingers crossed for him . Your for sure know if he gets his wish as I'll do a weight up with pictures . Good luck with your Gun hunt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aberisle Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 I have a Zabala 3" and i have found myself using as my main gun this season, i have a semi auto that is lighter easier to clean and gives you the advantage of a third shot but i hate spraying empty cases all around the foreshore (they are a ****** to find) the Zabala also also as the advantage of being able to whip out the cartridges and change to Goose ones when you hear Geese coming.

I'm just shopping about to replace my o/u double trigger with a single trigger ejector or a semi auto without breaking the bank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry78 Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Good luck plenty of bargains about mate as I say ask your local dealer and Once you buy your gun they can receive it by post from who you buy it off 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
