I'm slowly giving up and for the money that one would have to pay (including delivery as it would be an 800 mile round trip) it's never worth it - Hundreds of good guns out there which do not need a week soaked in rust remover!

It's nice but I'm not sure it would scratch that exposed hammer itch. The 1897 is fun but feels crude compared to the model 12. Plenty of cheap steel here. I've never had a Remington 1100 but it was the first gun I had a clay shooting lesson with some 30 years ago. These old steel receiver guns look very cheap!

I missed one a while back that was on gunstar or guntrader, emailed you he bloke but never heard anything back and then next time I checked it was gone. I do like a bit of simple but well done engineering. Got a few feelers out but I'm not holding my breath. Was going to treat myself to a nice SxS for my 30th but think I'm going to put the money to the 97 instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love going though the Holts auctions. So many crazy designs. Why is it that I find that 16 bore Darne so desirable?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im hoping to have my FAC sorted by then so if a sec1 comes up it's not a problem. No massive rush to get one, like you said, the right gun 👌 I do too, normally through the cartridges first then the single barreled guns. Great way to spend and afternoon 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the opening question, my advice would be that if the gun concerned was free and if Holts offered to deliver it to you for nothing - I'd politely decline the generosity!

FGS Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 The rusty guns are apparently from a dealer whose premises was flooded. I’d not touch one unless it was £200 otherwise by the time you’ve re blacked it (£200) , had it stripped and cleaned (£175) and the wood sorted (£150) 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 not that far off a minty new one .

London Best Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 I can’t believe we are so bored with lockdown that a pile of rusty scrap which is obviously not worth having has generated 97 replies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 I had a Winchester 1897 with a twenty inch barrel. Ex-RIC. Back when these things, pump action shotguns with barrels under twenty-four inches, were s1 and not s5. Before Thatcher decided we weren't to be trusted. It was quite an interesting toy.
